We now have a few items that are available for IMMEDIATE shipment. Please click here to see these items.




NEW MODELS! Introducing our CLASSIC PLUS series. These picks are based on our Classic and Classic II models, but they are a bit longer and pointed. We extended the side profiles on these two picks so that they come to a sharp point. These are very fast picks. Shown here in our Coral color in Extra-Heavy gauge. These picks are best in the heavier gauges. Click here to purchase.



. . . in terms of which come closest to feeling, sounding, and responding like genuine turtle shell picks, the Red Bears have the edge . . .

Red Bear Trading has been making fine hand-crafted guitar picks since 2003.

Our picks have become world-renowned for the feel, tone and performance they offer. Play faster and more accurately than with any other guitar pick.

Both our Red Bear Originals and our new Tuff-Tone line provide smooth string attack and release - literally gliding off the strings without effort.

Traditional Bluegrass pickers, Jazz and Gypsy Jazz players, Blues players, Weekend Strummers, Rockers and New-Age Shredders agree, our picks are there, creating the best tone available.

Each pick is made to order and are as unique as each one of our customers. They are simply the best guitar picks ever made.


C MED Red Bear Originals
Play the pick that other pick makers use as a comparison and DO NOT be fooled by the imitators. Red Bear Original Picks are THE CLOSEST to REAL TURTLE SHELL you can get - PERIOD.

Our Original material is a polymerized animal protein (note: no animals are harmed in any way) that has many of the same physical properties as real turtle shell which makes it ideal for guitar picks. You could look at it as cultured turtle-shell. Many people who have tried picks made from this material cannot tell them apart from the real thing. Red Bear Trading Company is the sole manufacturer of these picks.

Although the Turtle Shell Color is traditional we offer the Red Bear Original Picks in several colors - Black Onyx, Red Jasper, Coral, Jade (light marbled green) and our newest colors - Honey Amber and Fossil Ivory.


Black Onyx

Coral

Turtle Shell

Honey Amber

Fossil Ivory


Custom shapes and engraving are only available with the Red Bear Original Picks.



C MED Red Bear Tuff-Tones
These picks are a less expensive alternative to our standard line. They still deliver great tone while possessing unbeatable strength and warp-resistance. Due to the relative ease with which we can turn this material into picks, the cost is only $10.00 each. They last and last, and are basically worry-free. In blind tests they were indiscernible from our standard line. While not as many options are available in the Tuff-Tone material, they're still superior to any plastic pick on the market.

This material is offered in a buff color and in two gauges only, medium (1.25mm) and heavy (1.65mm).
