The short of it: ABS is a material that has quickly become one of our best selling materials. Players love this material for it's full tone and feel. Thermoplastic also has a slight flex to it, giving it a different experience from Acrylic.

This engineering plastic is popular due to its low production cost and the ease with which the material is machined by plastic manufacturers.

Shapes & Sizes
Choose from 6 different models (Beehive, Bumblebee, Honey Bee, Honey Jar, Hornet & Smoker). These shapes are mostly modeled after classic pick designs and have been proven to be some of the most popular picks for years and even decades.

Handcrafted
Each pick from our thin .56mm to the thickest 9mm+ is beveled by hand. It is a tedious process that takes time and skill, but it's what sets our picks apart from the mass produced picks.
