Dunlop JD5005 Pickholder

Losing picks or not having them handy is a thing. Every one of my basses or guitars has these pick holders. I have tried other brands, models, even foam ones, or placing picks between three strings or behind pickguard but all those options are no bueno. These Dunlop brand ones have been produced since the 80s? maybe longer. They seem to last indefinitely.

Being black means there is always some part on your guitar where they can be stuck, out of the way yet easy to grab or put back your pick, fast, I like behind my headstock. They will hold 3 to 6 ish picks, depending on thickness of picks. Unlike other models, they fit almost any size and style of pick.

The 3M? glue is very strong but doesn't leave damage and it has a thin layer of springy foam, which helps with staying put and placement. While I always carry picks in my wallet, I would really rather never not have this specific pickholder as well. Especially if you have nice or really preferred picks, it will save you money by making sure you never lose one.

I'm a gigging musician and I have a Dunlop Pickholder in all my guitars. I play in a rock/metal band and I tend to move around and sweat a lot on stage and tend to drop picks at shows. I used to have a mic stand pickholder but I find it much easier to reach at the back of the guitar headstock and quickly grab a pick rather than reach at the mic stand. I might not even be near the mic stand when I drop the pick. I even have Dunlop pickholders on my guitars I don't gig and use at home. I never have to look for a pick, I always know I can find one at the back of any guitar . If you try to take it off you will probably be left with some of the sticky tape on the back of your headstock, happened to me once. This can be easily removed though. I have a Dunlop pickholder on more than 10 guitars and have never had any problems whatsoever.

This is probably the best pickholder I've tried at this price.
Used it for 3 basses and 1 guitar, all placed in the back of the headstock, and 1 more for my desk.
Depending on the headstock's shape, it may be a bit awkward to mount it properly, but I didn't face any actual issue so far.
The double-sided tape holds really well, the oldest one is ~5 years and is still in place.
Sometimes when the holder is empty or holding just 1 or 2 picks, there is a slight rattle when playing. Usually I just add one more and the rattle stops.
Overall an excellent choice, a must have for all my instruments.

I just love it! It is so much better than every other pickholder I had in my entire life, due to its size and construction. My friend showed me one of these and I bought it as soon as possible.

It is made of high quality plastic and has a metal spring inside. I could stuff in oversized and even ultra thick-grippy picks with no problem at all! Yes, it is not dirt cheap, but it's so nice! Just like their picks, Dunlop pickholders are simply one of the best options on the market today!

Pros:
1) Sturdy and Lightweight
2) Holds even the oversized and thick picks well (like Clayton Sand Shark)
3) Easy to install / Easy to remove
Cons:
1) A bit expensive for what it is
2) Comes without packaging (in a plastic bag)

I stuck one of these to my electric guitar. It is easy to insert and remove the picks. Up to 3 picks can fit in at a time, assuming you don't use extremely thick picks. It holds really well, I have had mine attached for well over 2 months now and it is showing no signs of budging. I did have another one attached to my electric bass, but I decided to remove it. It was relatively easy to remove, and once I cleaned the bass it was like it was never there. However, I wouldn't be too keen on removing it from a more expensive guitar in case it chipped the paint. Overall, this is a really useful product, and I would definitely recommend it
