White Delrin or Acetal?

difference between Acetal or White Delrin is so we thought today we would point out the differences :-). Delrin and Acetal are essentially the same material. However, there are two separate patents/blends for this plastic. The harder blend and the pigment of our Delrin picks will create a brighter tone, whereas Acetal produces [...]
Branden Campbell of Neon Trees
Products used: Acetal Rounded Triangle 0.80mm.
“I feel bass players often overlook the importance of picks when they search for tone. I attribute my tone to the Clayton picks I use, for the material and the size. More mass equals more contact. I’m getting that pick precision and growl that define my sound, plus a deeper tone that fills the bottom more than other picks.”
Branden Campbell is a name that is becoming synonymous with bass, amongst his peers and fans of his multi-platinum selling group Neon Trees. Branden first studied guitar, starting at age 11. Then switched to bass [...]

Pick of the Week — Woody Wright
Playing guitar since 1964, Woody discovered his love for musical performance at a very young age.
So far, he has played with a variety of groups within several genres of music, but has more recently stuck to Gospel. Since the fall of 2001, Woody has enjoyed occasionally touring with the Gaither Homecoming Concert crew. He says that it is such a joy to see the large arenas full of Gospel fans from coast to coast, and on other coasts! “The Homecoming Cruises have been phenomenal, and the London/Ireland trip was [...]
Kid-inspired
We had to feature this design for custom picks because the team at Clayton all loved it! It is a very youthful, colorful design with the catchphrase “Doin’ It My Way” and it reminded us that it is very important to encourage kids to pursue their musical interests! If you know a young person who is just starting to get interested in guitar playing, custom picks are a great way to get them extra excited about following their dreams! [...]
