# Rawhide Axe Plectrums Corter Leather Guitar Picks Rock Out with Slick Sophistication By Matt Ho | Published 2011-12-05 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corter-leather-guitar-picks References: [gearpatrol](http://gearpatrol.com/blog/2011/12/02/corter-natural-leather-guitar-picks/) & [corterleather.bigcartel](http://corterleather.bigcartel.com/product/guitar-pick-in-natural) For guitarists who want a new style of plectrum, the Corter Leather Guitar Picks will bring an interesting alternative to their collection. Most plectrums are made from materials that range from plastic to metal; however, the Corter Leather Guitar Picks are made from vegetable-tanned leather. It's quite an unusual material to use for a pick, but the use of leather does have a few benefits aside from adding a fancier aesthetic. Corter Leather says that the picks will bring a warmer tone to the sound and compares its overfall feel to that of a slim plastic pick. Plus, with the flexibility of the material, your pick will eventually mold to your hand's grip for better security.
