Routed in pick holder

I think it would be awesome !! But once you route out a hole you are deadicated. It's very original it that the location where you'd like it.

 

I worked on a guys guitar that had a slot carved in the upper bout (side) for a pick. He said he did it with a pocket knife. It worked pretty well.

 

I think that would look even uglier. Why not fix the holder to a mic stand or your amp or just learn to palm your pick when not using it or put it in your mouth when picking.

If you're dead set on having something on the guitar, what about just a narrow slot so you can put the pick in tip first so all you'd see is a bit of the pick sticking out.

 

I know it's not the best practice in the world and doesn't even apply to you but I always stick my pick between the pickguard and body on the cut away part. I think you can see what I mean in my avatar if you look closely.

 

If it is what works best for you, give it a go.

 

Just lick the pick and stick it to your forehead.

 

That is ugly, learn to palm the pic or just hybrid.

 

You could take that same pick holder and put it on the edge of the upper bout under the strap button, with the open end toward the face of the guitar. Should you drop a pick, you could very quickly get another one from that location, hardly breaking playing stride. It wouldn't be real noticeable, either.

 

I Know, I Know....

What about a pick holder mounted to the back side of the strap. Or is that too easy? Or just cut slits through the back of the strap to store picks.

I thought *everyone* stuffed them between the pickguard and the body like Francis Rossi. It's fair to say that his '57 Tele is beyond the point of slight cosmetic damage.
