“I have used nearly every pick on the market over the last 4+ decades. A few years ago, my friend Porkchop [Eric Church’s stage carpenter] gave me a few of Eric’s picks & I loved the way they played & sounded. I bought a few more Claytons and soon they were the only picks I was using. Since I received my first custom picks, I can truly say I am now a ‘Clayton for Life’ player. I have been mainly using the Rounded Triangles [Acetal & White Pearl] these days – they have 3 playing corners, and the larger surface gives me solid tone & better control. The wider sides are perfect for my high-energy pick slides too!” – Sir Rockingham
