I Made My Own Thumb Picks from Seashells 🐚 | The Start of LUHA Picks / DIY Thumbpicks, Thumb Pick

Years before LUHA Picks officially came to life, I was already experimenting with all kinds of materials and shapes in search of the perfect thumbpick.
People often asked me what kind of guitar thumb pick I was using – so I made this short video to show you one of my early homemade versions.

After years of testing angles, curves, and comfort, I decided to try something completely different – DIY custom thumb picks made from seashells I collected in Malaga. 🐚
They turned out surprisingly bright, hard, and resonant — with a unique tone that worked beautifully for fingerpicking, tapping, slap, and plectrum techniques (alternate, sweep picking, etc.).

Even though they were fragile, these early prototypes were an essential step toward my current ergonomic design.

✦ LUHA PICKS – Curious how these prototypes evolved into the final model?
