Wow! These picks are incredible! I know what you're thinking, picks don't make a difference to your tone... well buy this and you'll see how much they do! The variety of materials gives you a whole plethora of different tones, they're visually stunning and the different shapes and thicknesses really make you think about your playing, what's best for you and how you play. It's one of those tiny things that makes a huge difference and makes you rethink your playing! But in a good way ;) on top of that, the tin is absolutely stunning. Perfect size to fit a whole host of picks in, nice and small to either attach onto a pedalboard while taking up very little space, or for travelling/gigging. The leather interior is a nice way to stop the picks from jumping out the tin when you open it, and also keeps them looking nice and fresh too! Buy yourself one (or a friend/family member as a perfect guitar gift) and thank me later ;)

I gave this to my husband for our anniversary. He was so surprised to find all the little goodies on the inside wrapped in the silky leather pouch. The Hawaiian KOA is one of his favorite woods so he was already impressed after seeing just the box. After looking at the different size picks and ones in abalone he was in love. I was sure I was going to get a kiss for the gift! He got sizes he hadn’t had before and was just as happy trying them out on his different guitars, electric and acoustic.

Goodbye, Altoids tins. Hello, “Taylor Koa-Top DarkTone Series Pick Tin – Collector’s Edition” with tailor-made touches of a master’s hand.

Very quick delivery & was much better than I expected it to be. Stunning pick tin with lovely engraving, leather inlay which smells amazing & great selection of Taylor picks. Would highly recommend to everyone

Mind you, we’re talking about a can of picks here. What could be so special (and admittedly, I used to carry mine around in a Baggie)? Well, the bottom line is, that this is a simple object taken to an artistic extreme. It looks pretty. Beautiful Koa wood on top and the understated yet still prominent Taylor logo makes this yet another way to burn up a bit of extra cash in the never-ending question to uptick the bespoke meter on my favorite guitar (shown in the photos . . . and one on which Thalia also did a lot of custom work for me earlier). The picks inside run the full gamut of Taylor offerings and they’re nice to have . . . but in the end, it is the elegance of the box itself that makes this a heirloom-quality keeper.
