Token was born of a love for music and a quest to focus intensely on one small part of it. With decades of product development, material science, and manufacturing optimization experience, we offer a unique approach to making picks. Grounded in our own love of picking and the feedback of guitar and mandolin players from all around, we’ve created a suite of picks that brings joy and inspiration to our customers. We hope you’ll join our family of Token pickers.
Amber "No. 1"
Amber “No. 1” is a virgin polyetherimide long used in the pick industry for balanced tone, solid attack, low friction, and pro-level durability. Its ductile properties provide a soft feel while still delivering a bright, articulate, tone.
Tan "No. 2"
Tan “No. 2” is a virgin polyetheretherketone with excellent mechanical properties. It maintains strength and stiffness, resists wear, and has a low-friction surface. It delivers a warm, balanced tone with a smooth, buttery feel.
Green "No. 3"
Green "No. 3" is a Token Made™ exclusive, made with a proprietary process from a unique formulation of polyamide-imide. It delivers exceptional durability, surprising volume, velvet glide, and Goldilocks tone for a whole new flatpicking experience.
Large Triangle “A”
The Large Triangle has been a staple among flatpickers since the rise of modern bluegrass guitar. It offers a generous grip and a broad, stable feel for both driving rhythm and articulate lead work. It's a classic choice for players seeking power, stability, and comfort. These shapes are machine-cut to micron-level consistency, so each side is identical to the other and each like-model pick is identical to the next.
Small Triangle “B”
The Small Triangle has earned its place among players who prefer a compact pick with a familiar triangular feel. It sits comfortably in the hand, offering an easy grip and a balanced response across styles. It’s a natural choice for players seeking maximum agility, comfort, and familiarity. These shapes are machine-cut to micron-level consistency, so each side is identical to the other and each like-model pick is identical to the next.
Two Round “C”
Designed with mandolin players in mind – especially those who favor thick picks with round tips – the Two-Round shape delivers multiple tonal options in a single pick. Use the pointed tip for crisp, articulate leads, then switch to the rounded edge for warmer, fatter tones. These shapes are machine-cut to micron-level consistency, so each side is identical to the other and each like-model pick is identical to the next.
These picks give you the durability you need and the tone you want.
