Where Do You Put The Pick Holder On Your Fender?

Re: Where Do You Put The Pick Holder On Your Fender?

Yeah, it’s great as long as you have a source. My day job is as the buyer for a chain of paint stores, so they’re easy for me to get my hands on.
 
Re: Where Do You Put The Pick Holder On Your Fender?

I use a shelf tag holder (used in most retail stores) cut in half and then clipped to my guitar straps… Like this:

For performances I always make sure there’s another one in my pocket, just in case.

No way in HELL would I stick one of those ugly pick holder things to one of my guitars!

Nice looking strap.
 
Re: Where Do You Put The Pick Holder On Your Fender?

You know they already make a retail version of that?

No, I didn’t know. I had looked a few years ago, but wasn’t able to find anything... and haven’t bothered looking again since. If you know who makes them, how ‘bout a link?
 
Re: Where Do You Put The Pick Holder On Your Fender?

Thanks!

It’s a Walker & Williams. I have couple of them and they’re both beautiful and built like tanks.

Yes, the W&W straps are top notch for sure. I don’t personally have one but a friend does. Not only is it a high quality build but it’s stylish as hell too!

You have so much cool stuff on the walls, Ill be living in an RV/Bus in a few years and have to go from 30 guitars to maybe 3-4 guitars. Going to be hard!

I use a mic stand clip, Dunlop...I think.

But when I don't have my mic stand, like at a jam, I will loosen the two pickguard screws on the treble side on my G&L Legacy strat, and slip one or two there under the guard.

I'm using V-Picks a lot these days and they are very grippy.

On my Floyd guitars sometimes I put a pick in the strings behind the nut.
 
Re: Where Do You Put The Pick Holder On Your Fender?

I don't ever drop picks or lose them while I am playing. I always have at least one in my pocket, but if I am playing, I never set it down, and I can't figure out how I'd drop one without being able to pick it up.

Cool stuff, but they're all too big!

I had considered the Fretfunk thingy, but it's too bulky and distracting. I like that one you have much better... at least it's clear. I've only dropped a pick once or twice while performing, and when it's happened I've just played on using my fingers until I have a moment to grab a spare from my pocket, so I really just want something to hold one pick. For me it just keeps a pick with the guitar when I'm NOT playing or is a place to keep a pick handy if I'm playing with my fingers.

I do keep one of these on my keyring though in case of an emergency! [emoji39]

^I have one of these on my key ring, too, as well as a few as zipper pulls on my gig bags.

Usually I clip it on the back, so it’s mostly hidden and only picks show. I flipped it around for the picture so you could see what it was.
 
Re: Where Do You Put The Pick Holder On Your Fender?

This thread got me thinking, I don't drop picks anymore... I'm cured I guess.

I used to drop picks all show all the time when I was a spaz teenager or in my 20s. -it was a real problem that I had to plan for.

BUT -I played maybe 50-60 shows in the last 2 years (in my 40s) and I can't recall dropping a pick once -even though I keep one in my teeth during some 2 handed parts.

Also -there's a lot more room in my 5th drug pocket for picks these days.

I guess I've chilled out but I totally get the problem. :lmao:
