Detail 01
Celluloid material
Softer and slicker than modern plastics. Slightly warmer attack and it wears down faster, which is why a dozen makes sense.

- Anyone who likes celluloid's slick, warm attack

What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Heavy gauge
Little flex. More control for single-note lines and a firmer attack, less of the soft flap on open strums.
Detail 03
Shell pattern
Cosmetic finish only. Doesn't affect grip or tone.
Detail 04
1 dozen count
12 picks. Celluloid wears at the tip over time, so a pack outlasts a single pick by a wide margin.
Detail 05
Classic pick shape
Standard 351-style outline — the widest-held shape, comfortable for both strumming and single notes.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Celluloid gets slick with sweaty hands — no grip texture on the face
- 02Heavy gauge means less give; try a medium if you strum a lot
- 03Tips wear and round off with use, changing the attack gradually
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How thick is a heavy pick?
Heavy celluloid typically lands near 1mm. It resists flex, giving a firm attack with more control on single notes than a thin pick.
02Are celluloid picks better than nylon?
Different, not better. Celluloid is slicker with a warmer attack; nylon has more grip and a slightly brighter snap. Personal preference decides.
03Will these work on acoustic and electric?
Yes. Pick choice is about feel and attack, not instrument type. Heavy gauge suits both, though many acoustic strummers prefer thinner.
04Do celluloid picks wear out?
Yes, faster than nylon or Ultex. The tip rounds off with use and the attack softens. That's the reason they're sold by the dozen.
