  • Patent number: 5796021
    Abstract: An improved pick holder for releasable attachment to guitars and other stringed instruments is formed as a longitudinally elongated, single-piece body member, preferably molded of vinyl plastic, having a longitudinally extending pick-holding slot formed in its top and a pair of opposite downwardly-extending mounting legs arranged for releasable attachment by adhesive pads to the soundboard of a stringed instrument. The mounting surface area of the legs is reduced and the body member is supported above and out of contact with the instrument with an open, air space provided therebetween to restrict any damping of the normal soundboard vibration and to limit vibrational interaction between the pick holder and the instrument.
