Title: Fancy picks.
Post by: Silence Dogood on November 05, 2026, 11:46:31 AM
This seems to be the golden age of fancy picks: Bluechip, Token, Apollo, ToneSlab, Wegen, et al.   I'm really enjoying a Wegen 1.0mm on my mandolin and sometimes on my guitar, though I still grab a regular pick from time to time for it.

The Wegens can be had for about $6 each, where a Bluechip is around $40, and some of these fancy makers are even higher.  It's kind of bananas considering we all grew up playing on whatever free pick we swiped from the local guitar shop.

Do you use these new high-dollar picks?

Im intrigued by the blue chip picks, but id never pay that much for one.

Also, my OCD kicked in when I saw that they aren't even the color blue.

That's funny about them not being blue!  It is a strange name for a brown pick.  Here is my Wegen:
