Jimi Hendrix’s Manny’s Music Medium Guitar Pick

Although Jimi likely used a variety of picks throughout his career, a few have surfaced in recent years at auctions and museums. These examples suggest that Jimi generally preferred medium-thickness picks but didn’t show strong preferences for a specific brand or model.

One notable pick, handed down to Larry Lee along with Jimi’s Les Paul Custom, recently appeared on Reverb.com. While the listing implies the pick was used during Woodstock, this is unlikely. Photos from Jimi’s Woodstock performance clearly show him using red and black picks, not this one.
