How often do you go through guitar picks? :P

I go through a lot, if I'm performing. They're disposable, in the way I use them. They crack, split, chip, etc... I'm also fond of tossing them out by the small handful to the audience. I carry a fine felt tip pen and will initial them after the show. No, I don't know why they want my autograph. I'm a nobody in a cover band and they'll have forgotten my name by Monday, but they do and it makes them happy. So, I do it.

I'll go through as many as fifty at a show. At home, they might last a few hours before I toss them. So, I'll go through one a day when doing heavy practice. I have boxes of different styles, thicknesses, and colors. I prefer lighter colors, as they are easier to sign. The audience likes it.

You should look into getting your band name or logo printed on some picks. People love a souvenir money can't buy, so if they have to catch one, it feels like a special moment. Plus you can still sign the other side of the pick.

Crazy how you go through so many. ;) Is it hard to sign a guitar pick, you are almost like semi famous. What's your favorite kind of guitar pick, not to sign but to play with? How many hundreds or thousands of them do you have? How much do they cost you?

It can depend on what type of guitar strings you use. I use Cobalts and they are pick eaters.
