Tan PEEK Picks

PEEK (polyetheretherketone) is a stiff, wear-resistant thermoplastic with low friction. For guitar, PEEK produces a warm, balanced tone with smooth mids and a buttery feel across the strings. It sits tonally between Ultem's brightness and Torlon's richness.

Both materials are highly durable engineering thermoplastics. PEEK has slightly higher wear resistance and stiffness than Ultem. In practical terms, both will outlast standard guitar picks many times over. For maximum wear resistance, Green Torlon is Token's most durable material.

Tan PEEK is a great choice for players who want warm, balanced tone without the brightness of Ultem. It works well for rhythm playing, recording, and all-day sessions where a smooth, comfortable feel matters. Players who find Ultem too bright and Torlon too aggressive often settle on PEEK as their everyday pick.

Tan PEEK is available across all four Token shapes: the A2 series (Large Triangle), B2 series (Small Triangle), C2-60 (Two-Round), and D2-60 (All-Round). Large and Small Triangles come in multiple thicknesses from 1.14mm to 1.52mm. The Two-Round and All-Round are available in 1.52mm.

PEEK has a slightly stiffer, more solid feel than Ultem. Players describe the string release as buttery and smooth, with less of the snappy attack you get from Ultem. PEEK also has very low friction, which contributes to its smooth playing feel and makes it comfortable for extended sessions.

Yes. Many players prefer Tan PEEK for recording because its warm, balanced tonal character sits well in a mix without the sharp high-end peaks that brighter pick materials can introduce. The smooth feel also produces less pick noise, which can be beneficial in quiet recording environments.
