just got in a shipment of these. After playing with one for about 10 minutes every other pick I've ever owned feels like a paddle. This shall be my pick for all time now. These suckers are precise.

I've used them since I started playing guitar.

I ordered 3 packs of them of musician.com (usually 6 come in these perticular packs) and they send me three boxes with 20 packs of six in them and only charges me for the 3 packs. So I have like a lifetime supply of these fuckers.

yeah, I bought 8. So I figure as long as I don't lose a million, these are pretty rugged picks, so I should be set for awhile.


I love you get shit for free though.

*be's jealous*

*8 packs of 6

haha.


These picks last like 2 years each, and even when they dull down, you can rub them into the carpet and it sharpens them again.


Also, when I can't find my box of picks, I open the laundry dryer and there are about fifty stuck inside the door from leaving them in my pockets.

you are all wrong, this is the pick to destroy jazz IIIs.

Can't stand these. I bought a bunch of picks a few months ago to try some other stuff out and couldn't stand the dinky ones.


forever love

as soon as i used a jazz III i was hooked....i also like the Jazz II.....its hard for me to play with anything else....except....ehhh nevermind :P

These are all I've ever used and I haven't found anything better. Everything else seems too rigid and snappable to me.

Amen!

I used the yellow dunlops for close to 15 years, and after switching to these I'll never use a thick pick again.

As for the jazz picks, I tried em out when I was a teenager. They're great, if you like retardedly thick picks and have fingers like a barbi doll.

I liked the grip on these a lot more than the original jazz picks, but still was a bit too thick for me.

They come in different thicknesses.

for me, there's really no value for flexibility in my picks. As far as skinny fingers go...well, you got me there. I have long skinny fingers...I'll take it as an advantage.

I'm pretty sure they don't make a .60 in that size.

An advantage for sure. Not to mention, you're less likely to end up with arthritic knuckles.

I already have arthritis in my legs and forearms from sports stuff. I'm waiting for the day when my fingers go. First I've heard of this having any relation to arthritis.

Well, just from common sense, someone with big huge knobbly knuckles like myself is going to have a lot more surface area to grind.

amen to that. i use my picking hand to control dynamics, not the pick itself.

I play dunlop tortex in different thickness depending on strings, music, and tuning. If you match the pick to your set up they are amazing.

Jazz III's rule. Yeah, I wear 'em down a good bit, but not nearly as fast as I do other picks.

the last picks I got were tortex 1.14mm picks. After about 30 minutes with those things they were rounded and shitty and I'd have to file them. So, this is a big step up in durability for me.
