My name is Jeff and I’m the creator of Picksmith, the first pick company to make a researched proprietary bevel the forefront of their products. With over 20 years as a multi-instrumentalist playing strings including guitar, mandolin, banjo, dobro, and bass, my passion for music runs deep. I’ve also won some awards at competitions for musicianship. For a long time I’ve made picks for myself and friends, but realizing my passion and skill for it I’m now bringing them to the masses. I would be intrigued when one pick had multiple points and they would all feel and sound different, and I went on a quest to figure out why. My search ended with the pick’s beveling. After years experimenting with materials and shapes, and an incalculable amount of time refining my beveling process through group feedback, I believe I make some of the best bevels on the market. I think that bevels are the most important part of a pick, and no one makes a pick like I do since my bevels are all shaped freehand. I view pick making as an art, the plastic as my easel, and myself as an artist. I make picks that are loud and punchy, but sweeten with a light touch. That have a satisfying bite on the strings, but manage to stay quick and agile because I engineered them to be that way. It might sound crazy, but I’m on a mission to make the best picks in the world and that’s how I approach this endeavor. I meticulously handcraft each to my standard. By design these should feel right at home, right away. No more awkward break-in period required.

Happy picking
