Souvenir guitar pick set of 3

Pick manufacturer PICKBOY will be providing "hospitality" to foreign tourists visiting Japan.
Isn't the guitar the instrument with the most players in the world, or is it the second most played instrument?
We thought that by making picks into gift sets, they could be a convenient souvenir for people who don't play the guitar, and would be like postcards (picture postcards). So we created the "Souvenir Picks" featuring original Japanese illustrations.
We hope you will pick out memories of your experiences and sightseeing in Japan and introduce the country to yourself, your friends, and your children as a Souvenir from Japan.

Always beside your guitar.

In 1967, PICKBOY® began making guitar picks out of genuine tortoiseshell.
PICKBOY® was the first to start the now common practice of classifying guitar picks by shape, gauge, grip, and design.

PICKBOY® guitar picks are made from a variety of materials, from basic, high-quality celluloid to new materials such as our original Celtex material, nylon, ceramic, polyacetal, and carbon graphite, as well as natural materials such as horn, bone, exotic wood, and semi-precious stones, and are chosen by many guitar players who want to create their own unique sound.

PICKBOY® also offers guitar accessories. We have added many original ideas to familiar accessories such as capo dust, pick cases, pick holders, bridge pins, and guitar slides, striving to develop products that are even more user-friendly.

PICKBOY® products are planned and designed with the aim of providing quality that you can always trust. For the next 50 years, we will continue to listen to the voices of our players and strive to be the classic guitar accessory brand.
