Designed and manufactured in-house by Ploutone, this thumb rest (also known as a finger rest or tug bar) features a specialized microtextured section along the thumb-contact area, providing enhanced grip and tactile stability for high-intensity playing. Precision-contoured to feel like a factory-integrated part, this rest offers the perfect ergonomic solution for the player who wants a secure, non-slip anchor without the need for permanent modifications.

      About Our In-House Made Gear

      This hardware is part of our exclusive line of in-house made products. Crafted by us, for you, this collection includes both affordable, hard-to-find gear and premium, artisan-made accessories. We are dedicated to creating unique solutions that you won't find anywhere else, offering a perfect balance of innovation, quality, and value.

      CRAFTSMANSHIP & MATERIALS
      After five years of experimenting and perfecting our craft, we've developed a meticulous approach to creating boutique guitar accessories that deserve a place on your prized instruments. Our renewable bioplastics form the foundation of most components, offering both environmental responsibility and exceptional performance. For our signature picks, we've formulated a proprietary composite that delivers the perfect balance of flexibility, durability, and tonal clarity.

      Each piece is carefully handcrafted or produced in small batches to ensure consistent quality and attention to detail. We believe that advanced materials deserve advanced craftsmanship—that's why every item undergoes rigorous quality control before it reaches your hands. These aren't mass-produced parts; they're boutique creations designed to match the care and passion you put into your music.
      WHERE ART MEETS FUNCTION
      Let's be honest—most guitar gear looks like it rolled off the same assembly line. We're here to change that. Our mission is simple: provide guitarists with accessories that are as visually unique as the sounds they create. Why should your gear be mundane when your music isn't?

      Through years of collaboration with boutique makers across the industry, I've learned what discerning players really want: products that combine striking aesthetics with uncompromising quality.

      Our pieces aren't just functional—they're conversation starters, visual expressions of your individual style. When you install one of our custom pickup covers or truss rod covers, you're making a statement that your instrument is as unique as your musical voice.
      Our Artistic Vision, Realized

      At Ploutone, we've moved beyond simply curating exceptional guitars and gear—we've become creators ourselves. Each piece we craft in-house represents our commitment to pushing the boundaries of guitar craftsmanship, developing unique materials and designs you won't find anywhere else. When you choose our handcrafted creations, you're not just upgrading your guitar—you're becoming part of our artistic journey to elevate the guitar playing experience.
