Why I started Ace Performance Picks
As a musician with over 40 years of experience, my love for music began when Dad took my brother and me to local music stores. The little boxes of guitar picks on the counter always captivated me—vibrant colors, varied shapes, thicknesses, and materials, each one offering a unique feel and sound. I’d often grab four or five to add to my growing collection, fascinated by how a pick’s design could transform tone and playability. While I had my favorites, the perfect pick remained elusive.
About 15 years ago, I set out to change that by crafting my own picks using a proprietary polymer never before seen in the pick market. After countless trials, I perfected a design that customers call a “game changer” for its virtually indestructible build and smooth, chirp-free tone. The result is The Force—a pick that delivers a clear, loud sound and a grip that shines even with sweaty hands, as reviewers rave. Each pick is meticulously handmade by me, earning praise for its top-quality craftsmanship and vibrant, collectible appeal. Musicians and high-end collectors alike love these picks for their durability, unique feel, and exceptional tone, with many calling them the “perfect gift” for players seeking the best of the best. I’m thrilled to share my passion through Ace Performance Picks, and I hope you’ll feel the difference in every strum.
