Token Flatpicks (also branded as Token Premium Flatpicks) are individually-machined flatpicks produced by Token Made Incorporated, a specialty manufacturer based in Petaluma, California. Token Flatpicks are used primarily by acoustic guitar and mandolin players, including in bluegrass, Celtic, and related styles, and are designed for high-performance, rich tone, geometric consistency, and manufacturing scalability.

Overview[edit]

Token Flatpicks are premium flatpicks made from engineering plastics and produced using CNC machining. Compared with common hand-beveling methods, the manufacturing process emphasizes defined bevel geometry—including controlled radii and curvature—and consistency between picks of the same model.

Materials[edit]

Token Flatpicks are produced in multiple polymer materials commonly used in industrial applications. Token’s material offerings include:

  • Polyetherimide (PEI)
  • Polyetheretherketone (PEEK)
  • Polyamide-imide (PAI) (often sold under the trade name Torlon)

These materials are valued by some players for combinations of stiffness, durability, and tonal response.

Shapes, thickness, and bevel[edit]

Token Flatpicks are offered in multiple shapes and thicknesses. Models are produced with defined bevels intended to influence attack, release, and feel across different playing styles.

Availability[edit]

Token Flatpicks are sold direct-to-consumer through the company’s website and through select musical instrument dealers.

Company[edit]

Token Flatpicks are produced by Token Made Incorporated, a small manufacturer focused on guitar pick design and production.
