“Hey! The pick is great. I've really enjoyed picking with it. Tried it out on both acoustic and electric and found it great for taking some rips! Really enjoy it!”

Got to give one of these a try over the last few days can’t stress enough how novel and well built these are. I’ve tried wooden picks in the past and even whittled myself one on a camping trip but these put an interesting twist on wooden picks. I used it on both electric and acoustic and beat the hell out of those strings I looked to see if there was any wearing down or shavings like titanium picks do and nothing your strings will stay safe. Playing on the acoustic you can get some pretty wild harmonics with the copper tip. Coming in at around 2mm these things will give your picking hand a workout in a good way. In conclusion these picks are well made and beautiful, a conversation piece and a beautiful work of art. It enhances the tone and the aesthetic of any guitar it is paired with.

When a friend of mine and I met up at our favorite watering hole, he said “Mike, in the thirty-plus years you have been playing guitars have you ever seen anything like this.” and he handed me an Old Scratch oval pick. I said, “I’ve tried wood picks before but never like this, it’s cool looking.” He told me I could take it home and try it. I said, “Skip, these days I’m only playing boogie blues and some southern rock on the Cigar Box Guitars I build, and this pick is too pretty to chew up like the heavy .91 mm and thicker plastic picks I use. This is too nice to tear up coaxing loud rhythm tracks from heavy steel wound strings and humbuckers.” Skip said, “Try it and let me know.” I’ve shown this pick no mercy and have followed the directions to keep the copper core smooth and it’s a player. Inherent also is a feature I hadn't realized before. Following some carpel tunnel surgery about a year ago, I often have trouble keeping a good grip on the pick as I play. I find that with the hardwood outer layers, a bit of moisture makes the pick easier to hold the grip between thumb and forefinger. So a little spit and no polish, makes this cool pick a winner for me. Great idea! Thanks Skippy!!

“I used the Copperhead pick for an entire gig last weekend, and it is truly a game changer from a sonic and tonal perspective. It felt good in my hand as well as helping my overall sound to cut through the stage mix of a full electric band. Great discovery.”

“A beautiful feel and unique sensation. Out performs any hard pick I’ve ever used. The artwork and craftsmanship is outstanding!”

“I played electric, medium gain bluesy stuff. It's clearly louder and brighter in an A/B comparison with a plastic pick. Leads have a lot more life. Much easier to get those squeals. If you run into Billy Gibbons in Nashville make sure he gets one!
The thing I really like about the copperhead on the acoustic guitar is the added definition it gives during palm muting. I can apply significant pressure on the strings and still get the full, deep mute sound with some sizzle. I don't need to worry as much about over muting the strings, which I’m prone to”

“So, I’ve waited to respond because I wanted to spend a few days playing with the pick to really grow more accustomed to it. Short answer is I like it though it did take some time getting used to the thickness. At first, I was concerned it would be more practical for rhythm playing rather than picking out a break but soon felt equally comfortable with both. I found it a bit slippery at first but that soon ended after playing for a bit as fingers and wood warmed up. I already love the sound of my Martin (and I’m sure it would sound even better in the hands of a skilled player) but your pick does seem to bring out more warmth, sustain and brightness than what you’d get from using a conventional pick.”
