Have you tried one?

Hmmmm…I bet I could make a profit selling little grip stickers that people could put on any guitar pick they have.

I use these, embossed with a vegan reefer leaf for extra grip and sticky tone for days.

I have a pack of these that sound glorious with acoustic guitars. Also with electric of you want that scratchy pick The Edge tone.

The cork center looks interesting. I’m sure it’s a decent pick.

Ever since I got hooked on Dunlop Jazz III, that’s the size of pick I prefer. I use Max Grip Jazz III for electric most of the time, plus a few other thick, small jazz-size picks of other brands.

I have two Blue Chip Jazz picks that were very expensive. They are my favorite picks for acoustics, less clacky sounding than the Jazz III. Also, the BC have a unique feel that seems to glide along the strings with less friction. They feel different with electric, but are not that much different sounding than Jazz III. except when playing clean. Overall, it’s not a huge improvement on electric, but very significant with acoustic guitar.

One other significant difference between Blue Chip and Dunlop Jazz is the way they wear. The Blue Chip picks show no wear after years of use. The Jazz III’s definitely wear out with use.

I use whatever picks Rhett Shull happens to be hawking on a given day.

I wonder how long they have to soak the corks before they are ready.

I've been 3D printing my picks using PLA, which is plant-based.

What is PLA? (Everything You Need To Know)

Polylactic acid, also known as PLA, is a thermoplastic monomer derived from renewable, organic sources such as corn starch or sugar cane. Using biomass resources makes PLA production different from most plastics, which are produced using fossil fuels through the distillation and polymerization...

Plastic guitar picks aren't vegan. They're made from dinosaurs.

Tagua, also known as vegetable ivory, refers to the hard, white endosperm of the seeds of certain palms, particularly the Phytelephas genus, which are native to tropical regions of South America.

Here's a more detailed explanation:

• What it is: Tagua nuts are the seeds of the ivory palm tree (Phytelephas genus).
  
  
• Appearance: The seeds have a creamy white, smooth, and hard texture that resembles elephant ivory.
  
  
• Uses: Tagua is used for various purposes, including jewelry, buttons, inlay work, and as a sustainable alternative to ivory.
  
  
• Sustainability: Tagua is a sustainable alternative to ivory because it is harvested from trees in a way that doesn't harm them.
  
  
• Cultural Significance: In some indigenous communities of South America, tagua nuts have a sacred and spiritual significance.
  
  
• Other Names: Tagua is also known as "vegetable ivory" or "palm ivory".
