D'Andrea Inc.: Who Uses D'A Gear

Since D'Andrea created custom picks in the 1930s, we have been making and imprinting guitar, banjo & mandolin picks for famous players and companies. Some of the earliest were Nick Lukas, Les Paul, Leo Fender.

There are over 30,000 dies in our archives. We supply about 80% of today's bands and artists, directly or through their endorsement companies.

Below you will find a small selection of current artists. Check back to see what your favorite artist uses to get those cool effects and great sounds.

Please note, while you may purchase a similar pick (at your local music store) in material, color and gauge to the one your favorite artist uses, we do not sell the individual artists' customized picks to the public. They are the property of the artist or band, and we are not permitted to sell or give away any of the picks we make for them. Generally, ways to obtain these picks are by trading with collectors, at concerts or at the artist's website or fan website.
