This Pack of 3 Artist Quality Padauk Jazz Guitar Picks is recommended for acoustic and acoustic electric guitar. These picks are the classic Jazz III shape giving you complete control of your picking. Our Padauk is a fiery red and dark brown wood and is polished to a bright matte finish with a deep grain excellent for attaining a firm grip. Padauk is a medium hard wood that is prized for its deep tonal qualities such that it is used for xylophones and marimba keys. Padauk is sometimes compared to Rosewood and therefore creates a clean, mellow sound while boosting modulation on acoustic guitars while rounding out tones on electric. Padauk is an excellent choice for those seeking a grippier pick and who demand a rich fully developed sound. US Blues® offers music accessories made of sustainably sourced exotic materials that improve the tone and modulation of your instrument and therefore your overall playing and enjoyment. We use by-products of various industries, such as guitar making, to source materials that otherwise would not have been re-purposed. We strive to bring the quality of your music to a new higher level and are proud to have elevated the guitar pick to the level of "Pick as Instrument".
