Legend has it that only Tony Rice knows the answer and he took it to the grave with him.

i have a golden pick. i keep it in my guitar case. I received it from Tony’s hands circa 2016 in Big Sky, Montana at Buck’s T4 Lodge. As far as I know there were only about 50 or so of them handed out that weekend as we all were initiated into the Golden Pick Guild of all which is TAC. Upon receiving that pick my personal journey went on to do many things in music, from live things in front of crowds of up to 1000+ to writing many songs, one of which was recorded in a major studio. Many of the others that received picks went on to do a multitude of great things in music as well. It is an honor and a curse to have such a pick, because, It is also the pick holders duty to run to the aid of any physical golden pick holder, as I did, and am so prepared to do again. A story of my action goes as far as flying on an airplane over 1000 miles and much time and money (that I did not really have) spent so a fellow of the guild did not have to cancel a live show, do to exigent circumstances. (oh, and I hate flying…) So, don’t take the golden pick lightly because sometimes even silent cries are heard among the guild…
