Product Details
These natural Teak Wood plectrums are a great addition to your exotic guitar pick collection. Each pick is handcrafted and buffed to a smooth finish. These exotic plectrums can be used for any stringed instrument, and sound great for acoustic or electric guitar players. This pick features the standard Jazz XL pick shape, and is completely flat on both sides, which makes it the most familiar feeling of all exotic pick designs since it is essentially the same as a standard guitar pick. These picks feel very smooth and comfortable in the hand and are an excellent first exotic pick to try out.
The Jazz pick shape has been around for decades and is one of the most widely used guitar pick shapes after the standard 351. The regular Jazz pick is notably smaller than a 351 in size, and is popular with guitarists who like the extra precision offered by its pointier tip design. The Jazz XL offers the same shape and pointier tip as a regular Jazz pick, but in a larger size that is comparable to a standard 351 in dimensions.
These picks have a very attractive aesthetic and come in a natural finish which showcases the wood used and its organic beauty. Because these are a natural handmade product each one is unique and will vary in appearance, as well as slightly in size and thickness. These plectrums are a thick heavy gauge and measure approximately 1.5mm where you grip the pick, and are smoothed and slightly rounded off on the edges.

About The Material These Picks Are Made From:
Wooden plectrums have been used traditionally throughout the world since the dawn of string instruments millennia ago. Hardwoods such as Teak have been particularly favored for their durability, natural beauty and tonal qualities.
Teak is a very dense and attractive hardwood found natively in south and southeast Asia, although it is now cultivated in warm climates around the world. It is especially prized for its durability and is widely used in circumstances where one desires a wood that is both tough and attractive.

About The Picks Material
Wooden plectrums have been used traditionally throughout the world since the dawn of stringed instruments millennia ago.
Sal Wood, scientific name Shorea Robusta, is a dense hardwood that belongs to the genus Shorea, and is found natively in India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Tibet, and other areas south of the Himalayan mountain region. Sal Wood is one of the most important hardwoods grown in India, and is often the dominant tree in forests in many parts of the subcontinent.
Sal Wood is a light to medium colored wood, usually from a light tan to medium brown in hue, but can darken with extended exposure to sunlight. It typically features an attractive grain pattern and a coarse, porous texture. In terms of its physical properties, Sal Wood is one of the hardest woods on earth, being roughly 25-30% heavier and 45-50% harder and more durable than Teak. This means it is a strong and lost lasting wood, resistant to denting, scratching, and general wear and tear, making it an excellent choice for guitar picks.
Sal trees can reach heights of up to 130 feet with a trunk diameter of over 6 feet. Because Sal trees grow fairly large, are easy to harvest, and are extremely common across a wide range, Sal Wood can be considered a very environmentally friendly and sustainable species of hardwood. Sal Wood is known by other names including Sala, Kandar, Shala, Sakhua, and Sarai. The Sal tree is considered sacred in both Hinduism and Buddhism. Hindus associate the Sal tree with the god Vishnu and goddess Sarna Burhi, and the tree is mentioned in numerous religious scriptures. In Buddhism the Sal tree plays a part in both the birth and death of the Buddha, as well as other stories and tales.
Although Sal Wood has long been prized in India and surrounding areas, it is becoming increasingly popular globally due to its attractive looks and fine physical properties. Sal Wood has traditionally been used for a wide variety of purposes including musical instruments, decorative wood carvings, construction, fine furniture, ornamental boxes, and other specialty wood items.
