Iron Age Guitar Accessories (https://ironageaccessories.com/blogs/iron-age-general-blog/wooden-guitarpicks)
This is our first post & so we want to introduce ourselves very quickly.
We have been making handcrafted guitar picks for the guitar community since 2015
and have since sent plectrums all around the world including Australia, Europe, South America, & Japan.
We also produce guitar knobs for modify the look of your instrument as well as LED switches that momentarily interrupt your guitar signal for a rhythmic effect. Our main concern now is guitar picks however, it's what we love to do.
How Our Plectrums Are Made
Making plectrums can be a tedious task & requires a lot of processing.
It all starts with CNC machines, either a CO2 laser, or a CNC router that we program ourselves.
What follows is a lot of carving using sanding machines & finally finished by hand for the most precise details.
The result is a pick that is elegant to look at, feel, and also play. A functional piece of art.
If you want to see what we mean, check out the video below that shows just how we do it.

More Info On Our Guitar Picks
We have many shapes and sizes for our picks, anything from jazz to standard, and even triangle picks.
The majority of the plectrums range from thick to very thick! This might throw some people off but they are indeed very usable due to the way we bevel our guitar picks. The thickness can be argues that is actually beneficial and adds to the grip & is also more comfortable to hold than thin picks.
As far as materials, the imagination is the limit.
We have used materials ranging from ebony wood, iron wood, carbon fiber composite, acrylic, UHMWPE, ultem, fordite paint, and even resin art. The sky is the limit and we are always on the look out for new & exciting materials that not only inspire us but also our customers around the globe.
Take a look for yourself at some of the items we have produced in the past.
