Punch your own pick!

[Robert]

This sounds like an interesting idea?

If you're not overly picky about the material you strum your guitar with, you now have the option of turning pretty much anything into a guitar pick. The Pick Punch is a hole punch, sure. A whole punch that wails.

You can chop credit cards, gift cards, or really any kind of thin plastic into picks of 351 or Fender varieties. You can also buy ready-made sheets from the Pick Punch site, but that kind of takes the fun out of it, don't you think? Mostly, I'm just relieved knowing what the future holds for my stack of used up Whole Foods gift cards. A piece of mind that's well worth the $25.

Cool idea....

Ah. With a reapeatable shape, you can build your pick any thickness you want, with epoxy glue and a number of bank cards!

That's a great idea, unfortunately mine requires much more labour intensive.....I only use my custom shell picks :rockon:

I have my son who plays very aggressively make his own picks out of a gift card that was sent in the mail. He just drew around an old pick and cut them out with scissors. Probably not something a professional would want, but good enough for him. He destroys picks in no time, so this works great for him.
