Imelod Pick Holder for Guitar Bass Ukulele, Multi Packaged, 5pcs per Package, Rubber Pick Holder Fix on Headstock Between String 3 & 4, D & G

I have always used those stick-on pick holders to keep a stash of picks inside my amp, but I never liked the idea of using adhesive on the guitars themselves. I have tried a few different straps with pick pockets, but invariably the pocket is either so deep and tight that the picks are hard to get out, or (more often) they end up falling all over the floor the minute you take off the guitar and put it in the stand. Threading a pick between the strings is fine, if you only use one style, don't want a backup, and never need to put it down to play finger style.These little dohickeys solve the problem. They are made of a rubbery material that is soft enough not to scratch your finish, but firm enough to remain sturdy. They slide into place between the strings easily on both 3-a-side and 6-a-side setups, and also work well on my basses. Each one holds 2 picks, and seems to work fine with both the medium celluloid picks and the 1mm little Stubby style picks I've tried. The only issue I've had is that on ONE of my guitars, it sits in just the wrong position, and my picks get knocked off when I hang the guitar on the wall on a headstock hanger. I will definitely be ordering them for all my guitars.

I use a Paige capo on my guitar which lives on the headstock behind the nut when not in use and interferes with the pick holder if it is installed between the 3rd and 4th strings. I was able to put it between the 2nd and 3rd string back from the nut a bit and it works OK. Tried it on a different guitar that I usually keep hanging up, and the hanger hit the picks in the holder no matter what I tried. Otherwise, worked well and gripped a .88 pick reasonably well, and will be useful when performing to hold a spare.Tried it on a mandolin with a 1.4 primetone and gripped that extremely tightly. Took two hands to push it in but came out easily enough when needed. Again, good to hold a spare while playing.

Holds two picks well even when I play hard. Doesn't fit as nicely on my 12 string since the multiple strings move it back from the headstock nut a bit farther, but it does work. On my 6 string nylon, it ends being right up against the nut which slightly interferes with my fingers. I might play with placement between other strings on that guitar in order to try and move it up the headstock a bit more. I like the fact that I don't have to go hunting for a pick when I want to play.

The idea is great. The problem stems from the way it holds the picks. The upper pick (when playing) is great, stays where it's supposed to, however, the lower pick always falls out. I use thin picks so medium or heavy picks might work. I will use it because I usually break a pick after a few songs and this makes it easy to grab the one on top.

Works perfect at a great price.

These things are an elegant and professional looking way to keep two picks within reach when playing guitar. The 5 pack was inexpensive and, because my GAS (Guitar Acquisition Syndrome) is in the very early stages, I had an extra one to give to a friend. I rubbed off the lettering with sandpaper to see how that looked and it looked pretty sweet. The Alice logo looks good too. I would buy these again when I get more guitars . . . and I will get more guitars. It does not affect the sound or playability, just more convenient than the alternatives. Good score!

Product arrived on time. I rubbed off the logo with my thumb. This took 15 seconds each. They fit on my guitars very nice. The product does work better on Gibson style headstocks. On my Fender Stratocaster the hider was a little tricky to get on. Once on, I did not like the way it sat tilted due to the D string pushing up on it. I removed it from the Fender and will use it on a Epiphone DR-100 acoustic arriving this weekend.

I bought this on the recommendation on a fellow guitarist who had a bigger named brand version. He was right to recommend based sole on expense. it works identically at 1/2 to 2/3 the cost. I recommend to anyone who needs a quick access pick holder!
