Guitar pick suppliers/manufacturers
Firstly, I've had this page set up from the beginning, but haven't kept it up to date. The best place on my website to find current picks is on the modern, unusual and handmade picks pages.
The links on this page are, if possible, direct links to the exact pages rather than just the home pages. Websites have a habit of changing pages within a site, so please feel free to contact me if any links are broken! (Link at bottom of page).
Also, here's a link to guitar picks on Amazon:

D'Andrea
Way back in Greenwich, NY in 1922, Luigi D'Andrea made the first plastic guitar pick ever out of tortoise shell coloured cellulose nitrate. D'Andrea are probably the most common pick ever produced as they made for lots of other companies.
Daisy Rock
Girl Guitar company! Unfortunately they were unable to send picks to the UK when I asked! (How difficult can it be to stick a $0.98 stamp on an envelope?). They did say they were passing my details on to a German supplier but I never heard a word from them, so not very helpful :-(
Managed to get some (from the US!) on eBay and they had extra ones that weren't on Daisy Rock's website.

George Dennis
Guitar picks from the Czech Republic, including the cross hatched-moulded patented Perfect Grip pick. Not much to see on the website at the moment.
Gibson
Not much on the website. Precision
and accuracy; the two most important aspects of any guitar player's
string plucking repetoir. How do you get it? Trust the past. Trust the
shape, material and thickness preferred by generations of musicians
since 1922 when the polymer pick was first invented. The shape; wider
body for better grip and rounded tip for precision. The material;
celluloid for maximum memory and minimum wear. The thickness; "Medium",
the gold standard for net effect. A favorite with players of every
style,
Grover Allman
Australian company offering customised and preprinted picks. Materials included
polycarbonate, nylon, and Delrin. They are also the people who manufacture the
officially licensed South Park and The Simpsons guitar picks.
