Why ChickenPicks guitar picks?

Unique material, longer lasting and more comfort.
ChickenPicks are unique in their design and manufacturing process.
The beveled edges allow the pick to glide on and off the string effortlessly making it easier to play (as compared to a conventional thick- or heavy pick).
It just takes very little effort to get used to these picks; they just wear a little bit, by simply playing the strings.
The thermosetting plastic, the material used, is much harder and denser than all other plastics avoiding chipped edges, and ensuring months, if not years, of uninhibited, uninterrupted playability.
The tip will polish itself by the strings after breaking in (approx. 15 minutes of playing).

To get a full sound with thinner picks you would have to pick harder than you would do with a ChickenPicks® guitar pick. This means that you will have less hand fatigue and more control when using our pick instead of a conventional pick. A ChickenPicks® guitar pick will reduce string breakage as well.

Play faster and easier. Whether you play blues, heavy metal, rock, country, pop, jazz or any other genre, ChickenPicks help improve the sound, speed, and control of your playing.
The thickness of the body of the pick, coupled with the texture make it very easy to hold while at the same time, avoiding the need to grip too firmly.
The result is less hand fatigue, less string breakage, less pick slippage, making it easier to focus on precise picking, speed, and the nuances of your playing.
The material used in the process is very rigid (not bending at all), eliminating any pick drag thereby allowing YOU to control YOUR sound.

Sound
More mass = More tone !
Even when playing near to your guitar’s bridge you will be able to create more volume, depth- and mids.
Not those plinky thin-, annoying- and unwanted clacky overtones, but a more pronounced loud-, clear- and bright tone.
Due to the material and beveled edges ChickenPicks guitar picks are very adaptive to pinch harmonics, which have never been easier to create.

We already said it – ChickenPicks® guitar picks are extremely durable so you can use one pick for a long time. Customers say that in most cases one ChickenPicks® guitar pick should last at least a year, if not several years. Depending on your playing style.  The production of ChickenPicks® guitar pick is less environmentally taxing than other plastics and they last longer. So when you choose ChickenPicks® guitar picks, you are doing just a little bit extra to protect the environment. ChickenPicks® guitar picks are made in Europe, free from child labour.

Less hand fatigue
With ChickenPicks® guitar picks, you do not need to grip as firmly compared to other picks.
ChickenPicks® guitar picks have a textured surface for more grip. It allows you to hold your pick with less effort exactly where you want it and without it slipping. Gripping less firmly also causes less sweaty fingers.

How did ChickenPicks guitar picks start?

ChickenPicks are unique in it’s design and manufacturing process.

ChickenPicks guitar picks are made by Eppo Franken since 1984 (on the right up in the pic). The young guitar player was looking for the perfect connection between his gear and himself. He tried everything, one day he found the thermosetting plastic and made the first guitar picks with the special bevel.

It all started with the Regular 2.6mm, that’s still his favorite. He made them just for himself and his musical friends. In 2010 Eppo and his wife Jolanda started the family business with the name ChickenPicks guitar picks, because of the love for Country Music. At first everything was handmade, but quickly there were too many orders to handle. Since 2012 ChickenPicks guitar picks are made in a special mould under high temperature, the finishing is still done by hand.

Honest production process

ChickenPicks are unique in it’s design and manufacturing process. Made in Belgium and Germany. Every guitar pick is hand finished in The Netherlands by the team of Fivelingo, a sheltered employment company. They give every guitar pick a final lucky rub for their new owner.
