Abstract: A plectrum or guitar pick and method of manufacture thereof. The plectrum has one or more metal edges that are substantially flush/planar with the body of the plectrum. This edge may be an outer edge of the plectrum itself or an inner edge of a cutout punched into the body of the pick. Alternatively, metal can be plated onto the body of the plectrum. The body of the plectrum may be formed of a metal, plastic or other suitable material. The interior of the body may contain customized designs, print, or cutouts that contain metal. The metal edge of the plectrum is capable of being flush with the body through a novel method of manufacturing plectra on metallic (e.g., copper clad) boards. Thus, the body and edges of the plectrum may remain coplanar as if created from the same material, though retaining benefits of being formed of two separate materials.
