PICKBOY is a guitar accessory brand that began making guitar picks in 1967. Because these small tools come into direct contact with the strings, we have always valued differences in materials, shapes, thicknesses, grip comfort, and design.
Our goal is for players to choose a pick that fits their hand and comfortably play the sound they envision. We continue to create products that support music right beside the performer.
Pick making since 1967
PICKBOY’s starting point was in 1967 when we began producing guitar picks made from genuine tortoiseshell. Since then, we have delivered picks not just as accessories but as tools chosen by players for their quality and feel.
While also involved in the production of picks featuring logos of guitar manufacturers and accessory brands, we have developed, manufactured, and sold our own brand "PICKBOY." We have expanded our options by responding to changing playing styles and players' feedback over time.
Since the 1970s, we have exhibited at overseas trade shows, delivering PICKBOY products not only to Japanese players but also to customers abroad.
Choose your sound and feel for yourself
A pick is the point of contact with the strings. Changes in material, shape, and thickness affect how it strikes the strings and the sensation transmitted to the hand. PICKBOY plans its products so that players can verify these differences and select the one that suits them best.
We use a variety of materials including classic celluloid, Celtex, nylon, polyacetal, carbon, and ceramic. We also offer a wide range of shapes, thicknesses, grips, and designs. This is because each person has different preferences for sound and feel when holding the pick.
Whether you want to keep using your favorite pick or try a new playing experience, PICKBOY aims to connect the joy of choosing with the joy of playing.
Comfort and finish cultivated over a long time
We value not only the materials and design but also the feel when you hold and play with the pick, as well as the overall finish of the product. Because picks are small, you can feel the difference when choosing just one.
We provide detailed information about manufacturing standards such as edge finishing, shape stability, and our approach to foil stamping printing in PICKBOY Quality.
From picks to accessories that support your performance
In addition to guitar picks, PICKBOY offers accessories such as capos, pick cases, pick holders, bridge pins, and guitar slides. We focus on usability when creating products as tools used in performance settings.
Whether you're looking for a pick that suits your style or tools to support your daily playing, you can choose from PICKBOY's products.
