]] Template:Short description 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
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
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
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
Token Flatpicks are sold direct-to-consumer through the company’s website and through select musical instrument dealers.
Company
Token Flatpicks are produced by Token Made Incorporated, a small manufacturer focused on guitar pick design and production.
Use by musicians
The company claims its flatpicks are used by professional musicians including:
- Andy Falco
- Jake Workman
- Jon Stickley
- Scott Gates
- Sullivan Tuttle
- Mike Robinson
- Shawn Swain
- Max Davies
