Hi!
I've got this weird Fender pick. It's a X-Hvy pink confetti pick. The Fender logo is gold-ish and there is a strat headstock in the background. Anyone of you know where this pick comes from?

A photo may be of help, but it sounds like a generic Fender XH pick. Your not trying to make a connection with what Randy Rhoads used. As he used to use 'Fender Medium's'. He didn't use a signature pick or one with any logos on like Ozzy Quiet Riot just a bog standard off the shelf generic Fender pick.

I cant say that I have every seen a pick just like that. But I have seen plenty of celluloid picks in this same color.

Yeah I've seen celluoids with that kind of pattern and color, but it's the headstock, the style Fender logo and the way it says X-Hvy that makes me curious. Would like to know which decade it was made.

It is hard to make out the Fender logo does it have the (R) in a circle. As the unregistered logo was before 1977 if the logo does not have the (R) you can date the pick.

Yeah, but I still want to know more about it. What if it belonged to a great guitarist? Not likely, but it could be

Well that is very unlikely and if it was, how can you put a name to the pick. Remember before signature picks all the big names used generic picks. So your pick is nothing more then a generic pick and with no history on the item.
