Pleks is a small artisan brand based in Rome, Italy, founded by Pedro Scassa, a Brazilian-born architect and guitarist. The workshop produces handmade guitar picks crafted from materials such as Delrin, cellulose acetate, tagua, phenolic laminate, and exotic woods including ebony, guaiaco, and cocobolo, with thicknesses generally ranging from 1.8mm to 4mm.

The picks are designed less as accessories and more as small tools intended to shape technique and tone. Distinguishing features include an asymmetrical bevel on each side of the pick, intended to increase picking speed and add definition, along with carved thumb and index grooves for grip. The catalog spans many shapes — from small pointed models aimed at rock players to rounded jazz-oriented profiles — under model names like JezzPlezz, 3in1, Dez, Koishi, Songe, and Ho-Lo.

Pleks has a particular focus on gypsy jazz (manouche) playing, where pick choice is central to the style. Their Delrin manouche picks are valued by players in that scene for durability, smoothness across the strings, and a warm, woody tone compared to mass-produced alternatives.

Pleks has 3 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Picks & Pick Holders.
