The listing is for the display featured. The Plektrons are real plastic Plektrons. They are heat printed and coated with a Dünn micro film for extra durability. The backing image is printed onto photo card and Inks are UV resistant to ensure your display will look good for many years to come. These items make a perfect gift for any music fan. You get 10 real plastic Plektrons attached to the photo card backing as featured in the listing image. The Plektrons are 0.71mm (medium gauge) and could be used to play the guitar. The Plektrons are sold for display purposes but you could remove the Plektrons for actual use. This obviously may cause damage to the backing card and the images on the Plektrons may degrade over time if used.
