Fender Classic Celluloid 351 Guitar Picks — Heavy White, 12-Pack
Product description
This pack contains twelve heavy‑gauge Fender picks molded in the traditional 351 shape. Each pick is made from celluloid material and comes in a solid white finish. The set is intended to provide a uniform playing experience across the dozen picks.
Celluloid is used for its smooth contact with strings and its tendency to produce a warm, rounded sonic character. These heavy picks are fairly stiff, giving a pronounced attack and less flex than thinner gauges, which many players prefer for articulation and speed.
The 351 profile is a classic teardrop shape with a pointed tip and a broad base for finger placement, making it versatile for rhythm strumming and single‑note runs. Because the surface is smooth rather than textured, these picks rely on the material’s natural feel rather than molded grips. They’re suitable for both electric and acoustic instruments and are often kept on hand as reliable spares.
Pros
- Warm, rounded tone from celluloid
- Consistent heavy gauge for strong attack
- Classic 351 shape fits varied techniques
Cons
- Smooth surface can feel slippery
- No molded or textured grip
- Celluloid will eventually show wear
VerdictThese Fender 351 celluloid picks deliver a familiar feel and warm, rounded tone that suits many players. The heavy gauge offers clear attack and stability for fast picking, while the smooth celluloid surface produces a classic sound. They aren’t textured, so players who sweat or prefer a tacky grip may want a different option, but for tone and consistency this 12-pack is a practical choice for gig

Mr. Michael 5/5
Works well on acoustic
Great feel on my acoustic — plenty of tone and control for strumming and picking.

R. Hunt 4/5
Different feel than classic celluloid
Although labeled celluloid, these are solid white and very smooth, more like Tortex in texture. If you’re used to tacky celluloid, expect a sleeker surface.

Pogi 5/5
Reliable everyday pick
Simple, snappy tone that works well for rhythm and solos. Stiff enough for fast alternate picking. They wear with use and can slip when hands are sweaty.

Erik 5/5
Great acoustic character
My go‑to for acoustic tone — warm and responsive. I may have started with medium, but heavy suits my current playing.

Fender name, wide selections
Fender offers these in various packs so you can find the gauge you prefer. They’re durable, easy to use, and show little to no odor.

Emily 5/5
Solid performance, minor cosmetic wear
Picks feel and play great, though some arrived with printing already rubbed off. Thickness and control are excellent despite the cosmetic issue.

Amy Millington 5/5
A practical gift
Bought these for my partner and they’re very happy. They’re sturdy enough to survive accidental washing.

B. Colonna 5/5
Tone and longevity impressed me
I switch picks by guitar and style and prefer heavy gauges — these fit that need. On electric they sound warm and clean. There’s no textured grip, but the celluloid doesn’t get overly slick, and I’ve been using the same two for months with minimal wear.
