John Pearse Vintage™ large white thumb picks. 10 picks. John decided to recreate a vintage thumb pick that he loved using. This was done by starting with an original cutting die from the 20s. The result is a Vintage Thumbpick. In every way, it is the recreation of a classic; hand formed to wrap around your thumb just right and, unlike modern thermo-plastic thumb picks, it just won't loosen up from the heat of your hand.
