About the PICKBOY brand

Always by your guitar.

The origin of PICKBOY, which has brought performers and instruments closer together.

PICKBOYのルーツを感じさせるギターとピックの情景

In 1967, PICKBOY® began producing guitar picks made from genuine tortoiseshell material.
It was PICKBOY® that first started branding guitar picks by categorizing them based on shape, gauge, grip, and design, which has now become standard practice.

PICKBOY® guitar picks are chosen by many guitar players aiming for their unique sound, incorporating not only basic high-quality celluloid material but also original Celtex material, nylon, ceramic, polyacetal, carbon graphite, as well as new materials and natural materials like horn, bone, exotic wood, and semi-precious stones.

Additionally, PICKBOY® offers a range of guitar accessories. We have added numerous original ideas to familiar accessories such as capos, pick cases, pick holders, bridge pins, and guitar slides, focusing on developing products that enhance usability.

PICKBOY® products are designed with a commitment to quality that you can always trust. As we look forward to the next 50 years, we aim to be a classic guitar accessory brand while valuing the voices of players.
