WHAT'S NEW?
We just recently launched our wedding guitar pick website. We have had such a large volume of wedding orders for custom guitar picks that we decided to make a separate department to handle these orders and a new website! Custom guitar picks have been used as Save-The-Dates, and as decorations in weddings. If you have an upcoming wedding as a gift to you from us we will honor your artist discount if you order custom wedding picks! Once your order is placed just let us know that you are endorsed and would like to use your discount. To see examples of how these picks were used and to order picks visit http://customweddingpicks.com
ARTIST SPOTLIGHT - AWAKEN THE EMPIRE
Awaken the Empire's fusing of Alternative and Electronica quickly found them an audience in Los Angeles, where singer Damien Lawson founded the band in 2009. Known for their intense high-energy performances, the band's contrasting sounds of Epic Alternative rock, with Infectious Electro-Dance is a beautifully chaotic blend of Artistic honesty and Rock Intensity. Check out their music and more at their website http://www.awakentheempire.com

Each quarter we will feature two questions, if your question is chosen you will get a special prize from us!
"Hello good people at Clayton! I just want to send you a quick e-mail to let you know how stoked I am with your fine product. I ordered 200 custom picks (pink delrin) with my band's logo imprinted on them. Although they arrived a bit later than stated, (I got a very apologetic e-mail explaining the delay) they came and are PERFECT! I'm impressed with the overall quality of the pick as well as the printing, gauge, tonal quality, harmonics and grip. I also love the fact that it is virtually indestructible! I couldn't be happier with your outstanding work. Thank You so much for a job well done and rest assured I WILL be ordering more in the future." - Keep Rockin' Steve Scarpa
Coming Soon!
We will be sending out an exclusive e-mail offer to all our endorsees for Pickbandz! Pickbandz is a silicone bracelet shown here that holds your bands guitar picks in it. This would be a great item to sell at your concerts and events! They are available in several colors and will include 30 full color picks. Be sure to look in your e-mail as we will be running a special offer for them very soon!
"Dear Steve,
Just wanted to let you know how great the picks are! The print of our logo looks fantastic. We've been handing them out all over and people really seem to like them.
I even gave one each to NYC guitarist Frank Vignola and his sideman, Vinny Raniolo at their recent concert here in Arkansas (opening act for Tommy Emmanuel).
Thanks so much for the superb job,
Gio Bruno"
Inner-Lock Straps
Our inner lock straps have a simple strap lock! You simply place the guitar button into the hidden hole on the bottom side and pull forward. The end tab will then lock into the secondary front hole. Once in the forward slot it is trapped. Each strap is 2" woven material, with edge sewn leather end tabs. They are sewn to meet airline safety standards for unparalleled strength. The inner-lock straps have no metal components to dent or scratch your guitar. They are available in black, blue, gray, red, white and yellow. And they are fully adjustable!
Socket Slide
The Clayton Socket Slide has turned what musicians have known for decades into a reality. Sockets have been known to make great guitar slides due to their 12 star interior gripping. We have enhanced the traditional socket by extending the length and opening up the other end. This slide locks onto your finger, giving you more control and comfort during play. Made of heavy chrome.
Comes in 3 sizes: Small, Medium, and Large.
