Abstract: An improved guitar pick is flat metal stock of an oval shape, having a ridge of a rounded cross-section on one side near the leading edge, and preferably decorative and/or informative designs or words permanently imprinted on the top and/or bottom. The metal stock is preferably an alloy of primarily zinc material of about 0.020 inches thick and the ridge thickness a maximum of about 0.014 inches. The guitar pick can be made by deforming a conventional penny into an elongated, and depositing metal material near the leading edge to form the ridge and optionally imprinting the side(s) of the elongated. The penny is preferably deformed to a maximum length of about 1.4 inches and a maximum width of about 0.8 inches.
