I need to order some custom picks for my band soon and have been looking around. We have picks that were leftover from the guy I replaced but they're kinda ugly and the band doesn't know where he had them done. Do any of you guys have any made for your bands/projects? If so, can you give me some links and whatever info you may have? I think we're just looking to do white picks with color logo on one side and web address on the other. Thanks!
 
I've had great success with Intunegp.com They were relatively fast and nailed what i wanted. I got black matte style, with silver ink. "Kid" on one side and my bands logo on the other. If you plan on ordering multiple times the first batch is a bit more due to setup of art, but not bad after that.

Plus, being the great "touring" band you are, you can probably get sponsored by them if your PR person is good at networking. Our band got sponsored, and they would randomly send us a gross of every guage, with their logo, and our bands logo on them.

I'd definately check them out. I'm thinking of ordering some more for me, once I get in a new project again....

Cool thanks...sent them an email.

Whatever you do, do NOT use Pickworld. I bought picks from them some years back and the materials, workmanship, final product and customer service were one of the absolute worst I have ever encountered.

Pickworld.com, Wilmington Fiber, whatever, they suck and I told dung bag Scott Morris I'd be certain to deter others from using their service. I just did a search of my saved e-mails and found this:

------------------

I thought I would follow up on a post a while back advertising custom guitar
picks from http://www.pickworld.com

I decided to go with them, even though they were slightly more expensive
than another place on the net, because they offered three pick colors per
gross. I wanted to get various colors so I could decide which I liked
best, and then purchase more of the "good colors" later.

Anyway, to make a long story short, the quality of the graphic application
was less than advertised. On some picks it was shifted to the right with
the last character riding on the edge of the pick. Also, on many picks,
mostly ones with white text, part of the graphic is missing as if it fell of
after being stamped. One other discrepancy with the order is that they
substituted a pick color without notifying me. This was not noted on their
website, but they say that it is being updated today with this information
(how convenient).

As for the customer service regarding the quality issues I have, to make a
long story short, here are the last two lines of the e-mail I received from
Scott Morris at Pick World (i.e. Wilmington Fibre).

"this is the best we can do"
"It's a pick not a freakin car"

I don't care that it's not a "freakin car," if I buy a candy bar and it's
rotten, I want a new bar or my money back. Pick World is not interested in
fixing my order or refunding money. Actually, I do not want money back, I
want picks that are a professional product, as advertised. Mind you, the
attitude from Scott did not come about as a result of him and I going back
and forth with e-mail and him becoming frustrated, this was his FIRST reply
to my message indicating 1) A missing pick color, 2) incorrect positioning
on about 50% of the picks, and 3) missing graphics on at least 50% of the
picks with white lettering.

I highly discourage anyone from buying picks from "Pick World" based upon my
experience with them. They have the potential to do good work, but do not
seem interested in taking the time to do so.
 
Never heard of them but thanks for the heads up Bob.
 
Clayton did 100 Midnight Velocity picks for $50 in their standard hard white "tortex-esque" material.

They have been wonderful picks. nice and stiff. They last forever too.

You can design your pick on their website, and just submit the picture. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
 
thanks for the suggestions on this...I ended up getting a semi-endorsement with intunegp.com...Bert is a great guy to deal with. Hope to have our pics in a few weeks.
