Description
This Elm Burl Guitar pick is made from a selected burl that was cut by myself in the woods off of a fallen tree.
<br />
<br />Elm Burl has great character because it has wild, dense grain patterns that allow for so much detail and has the perfect density to be a sturdy guitar pick. (Burl - a knot on the side of a tree containing beautiful dense, grain figuration).
<br />
<br />It is sanded down to a very smooth finish to show off its great color. At the top of the pick there are finger grips to keep the pick from slipping while strumming.
<br />
<br />Makes for the perfect gift for any music lover or guitar player.
<br />
<br />Difference between plastic and wood picks: wood is much stiffer and has little to no flexibility, however it offers a much clearer and stronger strum. You'll notice that it doesn't have that plastic plucking sound that most plastic picks have as the pick catches on every string.
