Dunlop Primetone Standard 2.0mm Sculpted Plectra with Grip, 3 Pack

I tried a bunch of different picks and this one seems to hit the sweet spot for all around playing. The edges are rounded and angled so there is virtually no pick noise. But it’s not so thick that it’s awkward for strumming. I really like the grip. It’s just enough without being annoying for long sessions.

Arthritis and neuropathy have led me to try various picks that have surfaces I can hold on to and control . Several only have one side treated, the other smooth. These are nice!

My favorite, after using a lot of acoustic picks.

Work and feel great.

They're good picks

These picks are light but firm and textured but not in an annoying way. Easy to grip and great for solos and more complex melodies that skip strings but they're also fine for rhythm.

I'm here reviewing this because of the guys on That Pedal Show. In a recent livestream of TPS, Mick and Dan rather reluctantly mentioned guitar picks--apparently it's a topic they have actively avoided delving into at length on their show. Anyway, they both sang the praises of Dunlop Primetone picks--sculpted picks with beveled edges, about 1.4 mm thick. They like them because the pick material glides over the strings very well.So I thought I'd check them out. I always play standard, Fender-style picks between .60 and .80 mm. I don't play 1.4 mm picks, though, because those are more like a lead pick than a rhythm pick. I'm not much of a lead player anyway--I like picks with a little flex in them so they 'give' a little when I'm hitting chords.I was happy to notice that Dunlop makes Primetone picks in .73 mm and a traditional shape, which is ideal for me. I was also happy to see that the price was fairly reasonable--about a dollar per pick for a three-pack. I placed an order immediately. I've now been trying one out for the last week or so.Apparently the picks are hand shaped and finished, with the shaper's initials marked on the package. The material is smooth and it glides over the strings easily--they're very fast and accurate. They have embossed logos to help grip the pick--it's raised just enough to be useful without being annoying. The pick feels nice in the fingers, and so far it's a real pleasure to play. Pick noise seems to be less than other picks, but I will put more time in with them to be really sure. The picks are in a pleasant, root beer color, which I really like, but on my brown ottoman it virtually disappears when I put one down. I wish Dunlop could make these in brighter colors.Dunlop Tortex picks have been among my main picks for a long time, mainly for the feel of the material in my fingers--especially when they're brand new. Now I feel like Primetone and Ultex picks are gradually pulling me over toward smoother materials and faster play. So far, Primetones are a winner. Kudos to the guys at That Pedal Show for pointing these out.

I have been a .88 Tortex (trusty green) picks for well over 20 years now. This is the first time I have really considered switching to the .88 Primetone picks. So far so good. Great sound. Ultex creates a nice tone. I was worried about the raised lettering because in the past this is proven to be a hinderance. If you knock your pick wonky it was hard to move it back. But I found the Primetone picks to be sticky but comfortable and able to move around. The verdict is still out but so far, so good. The price point is a little sucky. You get 3 Primetones for the same price you get 12 Tortex picks.

Excellent pick. Really worth the extra few quid IMV. Nicely bevelled edge which gives a really nice and smooth but pronounced attack. I used other “grip” picks, but the raised text on this is actually grippier an doesn’t move around as much. I went for the 1.0’s for lead and general picking. Doesn’t work quite so well for mu acoustic OM, but I tend to prefer lighter picks or finger picking.

I've been using Dunlop Max-Grip .73 picks (the grey ones) for years and overall I've been extremely happy with them. When I spotted these "premium" picks I thought that it was worth giving them a try. In all honesty they are just as good as the Max-Grip picks but not better - so in my opinion, not worth the extra cost.

Bought to use with mandolin, having watched listened to lots of you tubers advising I spend 40 quid on some hand made American picks!!! Pah.... These were a suggested in forums as alternatives. The stiff, 75 thickness works for me.They are a familiar fit and shape with non slip grip.

Good picks with lots of grip. But this doesn't justify the price when you can get the same pick, made by the same company, (out of a different material) for less than half the price. The really good thing about this .73mm pick is that you can use it for both rhythm playing and lead.Good picks but I would only use them in a Live environment.

Excellent plectrums good weight to them and the textured surface means they won't slip out of you hands after hours of sweaty playing.
