Red Bear Trading is pleased to introduce the latest addition to our family of Endorsing Artists, Stephen Gibb.

"I’ve been searching for the “perfect” guitar pick for many years now, for so long that I became doubtful and ultimately frustrated. I was so confounded that I finally had to accept that it did not exist. So I gave up...until one day I thought, let me give these here Red Bears a shot and alas! My quest was over! The pick of destiny is in my hand! Now I can focus on making music. It’s such a blessing once you find the right tools for the job. Thanks Red bear!"

Red Bear Originals

Our picks are made from Galalith also referred to as Milk Stone or Avoriolina (Ivory imitation). This natural product is made from the hardening of casein, the protein of milk which is a “polymerized animal protein”. Using this material for flat picks delivers an organic feel imitating the warm tone and feel of real shell from the Hawksbill Turtle which is now a protected species. Many people who have tried our picks cannot tell them apart from the real thing. Our picks may be copied, but never equaled! DO NOT be fooled by the imitators. Red Bear Trading Company IS THE original manufacturer of these fine picks.
