Title: The Beach Boys 2012 Guitar Picks
Post by: acedecade75 on August 02, 2012, 07:06:09 PM
 I've collected Beach Boys guitar picks for a long time, but the reunion tour has produced the widest variety of picks I've ever seen.  Here are a couple of pictures showing the picks that I've been able to collect so far.  There are 25 different picks show in these two pictures, and I'm sure there are even more variations out there.

Cool! I don't collect them but I got the yellow Al one (actually used by him at the end of their Sands concert).

Also have the Black Brian Wilson one. Don't think that was used.

Forgive my igorance, ANDO?

Also, Jeff uses some thick picks. Weird.

I'll also mention that it's odd that there are Brian Wilson picks since I don't think I've ever seen him play a bass with pick.

 Ya, I wondered the same thing about the Brian Wilson picks.  So far, I found 8 different BW picks, but I don't think he's ever used a pick on this tour.

The one I got thrown by Al in Milan was the same pattern as the black and red one you've got on Postcard From California, and in similar condition, but had John Stamos' name rather than Al's

Forgive my igorance, ANDO?

Only thing I can think is that ANDO is some sort of nickname for Nick Walusko, since as far as I can see he's the only one who's played a guitar or bass during the tour whose name *isn't* on any picks...

I was curious if there was a logo or a band symbol or something on the flip side of those picks shown in the photos, I only see the side with the names.

The one I've got says "The Beach Boys 50 2012", with the "The Beach Boys 50" in the font they've been using for their logo for this tour, and the 2012 just in a standard type.

 Most of the picks have "The Beach Boys 50th 2012" on the flip side.  But there are a few that have blank backs.  The ones that I have seen with blank backs have all been "Brian Wilson" picks.

I asked one of the band memebrs, and "ANDO" is a guitar tech with the band.

I'd say ANDO is John Andersson, guitar tech!

Edit:
Sorry, already solved!
