Sale

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A dozen medium-gauge celluloid picks in purple pearloid. Classic material and thickness for players who want a familiar, all-purpose pick.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Strumming and flatpicking where a bit of flex helps
- Players wanting the traditional celluloid feel and snap
- Trying a medium gauge without committing to a bulk box
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Heavy riffing that needs a rigid, unbending pick
- Players who wear through picks fast — celluloid erodes quickly
- Anyone needing a textured or grip-coated surface
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
Celluloid material
Brighter, snappier attack than nylon or Delrin. Traditional pick material, but it wears down and rounds off faster.
Detail 03
Classic shape
Standard teardrop outline, the most widely used footprint — swaps in without relearning grip or angle.
Detail 04
Pearloid finish
Glossy, smooth surface. Offers less grip than matte materials, especially with sweaty hands.
Detail 05
1 dozen count
12 picks — enough to stash in a case, gig bag, and car without buying a bulk box.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Celluloid wears faster than Delrin or nylon — plan on replacing them
- 02Glossy pearloid can slip; some players scuff the surface for grip
- 03Medium is a gauge range, not a millimeter figure — feel varies by material
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How thick is a medium celluloid pick?
Medium sits between thin and heavy — enough flex for strumming, enough body for single notes. Exact thickness varies across pick lines.
02Do these work for acoustic guitar?
Yes. Medium celluloid is a common acoustic strumming choice — it gives on chords while still defining individual notes.
03How long do celluloid picks last?
Less than Delrin or nylon. Hard players can round off the tip in a few sessions, which is why they're sold by the dozen.
04Is the pearloid just cosmetic?
Mostly. It's a glossy finish, which makes the surface a bit slicker than a plain matte pick.
