Planet Waves

In 1994, Howard and Robert Silagy started a small guitar strap company in Hicksville, N.Y. Their approach to business was simple: make attractive, durable straps using high-quality materials and people will buy them. Over the next four years, the company grew, with sales skyrocketing because of the growing popularity of Planet Waves' colorful, attractive designs and the line's thick, heavy-duty leather tabs.

In 1998, D'Addario & Company, Inc. acquired the Planet Waves line and it joined D'Addario's world-renowned family of musical instrument accessory brands. D'Addario envisioned the line as more than just accessories for guitarists, but for musicians as a whole.

Pick Rite

The Pick Rite was designed to help the guitarist make sure they are holding it correctly, by having ridges to aid thumb & finger positionning.

• Ensures proper finger placement for optimum picking
• Builds speed, dexterity and accuracy
• Ends the frustration of pick slippage for beginners
• For right-handed picking only

Adjustable Insert Pick

Surepick

A light Surepick with over-molded rubber grip. Unfortunately I think these were a bit too thin for my playing! The only pick I have ever broken! But they were RED, so who cares?!!!

Thumb pick

I never use thumb picks, so haven't really got many in my collection.  This one was given to me by Darren James Hodge who is an up and coming UK fingerpicking/percussive guitarist.  (We share the same record company!).

Just turned 18, and self taught, he has already gained endorsements from Tanglewood Guitars, Fishman pickups, and Elixir strings.
