National Picks
D'Addario is excited to announce the acquisition of National Picks, the iconic metal finger-pick brand that has set the industry standard since 1930. This acquisition comes alongside the addition of the Super-Sensitive Music String Company to the D'Addario family, further expanding our commitment to quality and tradition in music accessories.
Starting in August 2021, National Picks will be officially branded as National Picks by D'Addario. These legendary finger picks, unchanged in design since their start, are crafted in the United States from a variety of alloys to deliver that classic, vintage-American sound that musicians have cherished for decades.
The legacy of National Picks dates back to 1930 when the United States Government issued a patent for these unique picks—a detail proudly etched on the original models. Each pick is also marked with the National logo, U.S.A. make, and model number for easy identification, ensuring the authenticity and heritage of every piece.
Designed for a smooth, comfortable, and fully adjustable fit, National Picks offer exceptional performance. Whether you’re finger-picking on an acoustic guitar or seeking that distinctive plucky bite on a banjo, these picks allow you to play with confidence and precision.
D'Addario’s National Pick collection includes finger picks available in Stainless Steel, Brass, and Nickel (set for release in 2022). Additionally, the range features National Celluloid thumb picks in large and medium sizes, available in White, Black, and Tortoiseshell.
National Picks are available in convenient 4-pack, 12-pick bulk packs, and 6-pack finger and thumb pick bundles, making it easy for musicians to find the perfect set for their needs.
Discover the enduring quality and performance of National Picks by D'Addario—trusted by musicians for generations and now part of the D'Addario legacy.
