Default Pick holder attached to guitar

Does anyone know where I can get a pick holder or something that attaches to the bottom of the Guitar to hold picks. I see pro musicians that have 5 or 6 picks at the bottom left(when playing guitar) of the body closest to the fretboard attached to the bottom, laying flat ... Example below

Double sided carpet tape is what the pros use.

Unless you plan to throw picks to the audience, in the middle of a song, I'd recommend putting them on the mic stand instead, using the aforementioned tape or (my preference) the rubber Dunlop pick holders, which are effective and dirt cheap.

Yeah, the Dunlop pick holder for a mic stand is the simple solution.
What you see in that picture may be the picks slid under the edge of the pickguard - I could do this with my Tele by loosening the pickguard screws just a bit.

I used to use a little stick-on pick dispenser on my strap.

I had a pick-dropping problem for a bit, so I went out and got some Picstix to hold two pics on the end of my Les Paul pick guard. Haven't even come close to dropping a pick since then. Go figure.

A buddy of mine is D'Angelo's guitar tech, and says that D swears by a product called PicStix. He gave me a bunch of them and they are really cool - basically a sticky strip that you stick on your guitar and stick picks to. Holds them securely but you can grab them easily also. I like it because it's clear and unnoticeable, and you can stick it anywhere on the guitar that you want. Not safe for nitro finished guitars, but fine for poly. I wouldn't use it on my acoustic, but I love it on all my electrics.

Now that I do a quick google search though it seems like this might not be available anymore.

I saw Paul Brady play a few weeks ago and he had extra picks stuck on the end of his guitar with simple black gaffers tape. Something less intense like painters tape may work as well.

-Mike

Edit: I see Sombras beat me to the punch above. Anyway, great product if you can find it!
