Guistar Picks, manufacturers of custom-made guitar picks, will introduce Wednesday a gold-colored Elvis pick stamped with “The King’s” thumb print as duplicated from his military records.
“Yes, we replicated his actual thumb print provided by Elvis Presley Enterprises utilizing our patented enhancement process,” said Guistar spokesman Rich Mackey.
The etched image on the other side of the limited-edition, ready-to-be-strummed pick celebrates the 40th anniversary of Presley’s televised ’68 comeback special.
Suggested retail is $19.99, which includes the pick, an interchangeable necklace or key chain pick holder, and a certificate of authenticity.
The product debuts in Memphis as part of Elvis Week celebrations that draw thousands of fans to the singer’s former hometown.
Once word gets out about the Presley estate’s endorsement, “we’re confident the rest of the celebrity music world will want to join the bandwagon,” Mackey said. “Elvis has already paid off by helping us secure new deals with Conway Twitty’s estate, Carl Perkins’ estate and Sun Records, Elvis’ first Memphis recording label.”

I have a couple dozen picks from different artists I have collected over the years and the few I have bought were never over $5.00. The bulk of them my brother has picked up for me when he has opened for different acts.Originally Posted by Getlo

How much? I know you're just paying for the Elvis name,that's all.I'm sure there are some people out there that will purchase the guitar pick for that reason only.

You're paying for the image.
"When I was a child, ladies and gentlemen, I was a dreamer. I read comic books, and I was a hero in the movie. So every dream that I ever dreamed has come true a hundred times. I learned very early in life that without a song, the day would never end; without a song, a man ain't got a friend; without a song, the road would never bend; without a song. So I keep singing a song." - Elvis Presley
Yeah I wouldn't pay that much for one unless it was used by Elvis himself.
"How do I get placed in situations like this? Ah hell, I guess it's all part of showbusiness "~ Elvis in his limo on his way to perform in Omaha, NE on June 19th 1977
