All you have to do is have them send us a message once their order is placed through their account letting us know that you referred them. They will need to state your first, last and band name. You can then email us (endorsements@steveclayton.com) with your design and specifications for 100 custom guitar picks.
This offer will end May 31st.

"I've been playing the Lead Guitar for 5 years. I ordered the Steve Claton Dolphin picks with the sand grip, and The Bee Hold picks. I love these picks and will order more soon. I finally found a pick that helps me enjoy playing the guitar. Thanks again for coming up with such a great idea." – Ty D.
NuTone was created to mimic the extraordinary sound of authentic tortoiseshell. Its unique composition produces a punchy bass with clear treble tones, making it a perfect pick for acoustic play. Its natural lubrication releases off your strings quickly and gives you the ability to produce articulate tones. Made from polymerizing an animal protein, it is much the same as the famed, but endangered, Hawksbill Sea Turtle’s shell. NuTone Protein Picks replicate the sound and feel of the Hawksbill’s shell with its natural protein components, but no animals are harmed in any way by its production.
Available in 3 gauges: Medium, Heavy, and Extra Heavy
Available in 1 shape: Standard
Packaging: 1 pick per pack in a random assortment of colors
