    Anyone know a good way to get a pick that slipped from my hand into the hole in my guitar? I have several other picks, but would like to get the one I lost back into my hand.

    The only way I know is to turn the guitar upside down and shake, and shake, and shake.

    I seem to lose one a week in my guitar lately.

    dont forget that your top is braced so you have to turn it upside down an lift a hitch as you shake. this allows the pick to get over the top braces as it exists the hole. You can almost get a feel for where the pick is as you lift and shake thereby angling the guitar to guide the pick toward the hole. Method #2: If your hands are small you can loosen your strings and reach inside or find a kid with small hands.
