Guitar Noize reader James sent me a link to Brossard Picks a company who make high-quality handmade picks from exotic wood, Bone and Abalone. The Exotic Wood collection includes Wenge, Rosewood, Ebony and Cocobollo, all of which are used in guitar building for their different tonal qualities so this will also translate to the picks. If wooden picks aren’t your thing and you don’t mind spending a little more maybe you would prefer Bone picks which offer more clarity than a wooden pick. And if you really want to push the boat out you can go for Mother of Pearl or Abalone Picks which offer brightness and precision.
I found the Groovy series particularly interesting because not only do you have the choice of the 3 materials but they are shaped to have an ergonomic grip with the thumb dip on one side and a groove on the other for your finger.
