JIM DUNLOP 44P100 1.0mm Nylon Standard Guitar Picks, 12-Pack

Over the years I have used many different picks. Without question, these picks are my favorite. They are just the right thickness for all types of playing. I have dropped many picks while playing sets in front of audiences, but I have never dropped one of these because the grip seems to be just perfect. The are very durable and seem to last forever. They are, of course, a light pick, but whether I am playing plugged in or acoustic, it is enough. Usually, I am playing smaller rooms when it is acoustic, so it is fine. If I were playing a bigger room with only acoustic, I may want to increase the thickness for more volume.

Great picks and with the rough surface they're easy to grip

Great products as always. I used to use .60 picks but these offer a little bit more rigidity and less of that plastic strum sound. There’s a little of that plasticine sound but it also feels better. Don’t be afraid to try them and keep a few if you’re a .60 user like me. You never know if you need more of that pick punch.

Great pick. I like the grips for my fingers and can’t beat the price.

easy to hold and sharp in attack, cheap given their durability. at first, coming from tortoiseshell style pickups, i thought it felt really cheap in a bad way, but after some adjustment, it's quite comfortable and the build quality is solid.

It's ok not my favorite

I loves these picks a lot. They have a grip on them and shaped really nice.

I've played electric guitar over 35 years, and I'm a gigging guitarist in a band. I've used many types of picks over this time, but I've settled on these and here is why:1. They don't break. I've never had one break on me - but I've certainly broken other types of picks. The nylon material used on these is very tough.2. They have molded in texture, this keeps the pick from slipping - either moving in your grip, or worse, dropping it. I don't think I've ever dropped one of these, but I know I've dropped other types. I always keep a spare pick handy in case I drop my pick - but I've never used the backup with these picks. This is the most important attribute of these picks for me.3. They print the thickness of the pick. So if you have several thicknesses, you can definitively tell which thickness you like - and avoid buying the wrong thickness. I think they are color coded too - but I would rely on the printed thickness. It does not wear off, by the way4. Price is good.It is true some have some flash around the edges, it varies lot to lot. I don't find this a problem. The strings will rub this off tip in no time. If the rest bothers you, it can be quickly removed with a bit of sandpaper, or rubbing it against a wound string, or even on your jeans. I have not found the flash to be a significant issue, however.These dunlop picks have been my choice for over ten years now, and I won't go back to a smooth surface pick - they just don't provide the grip I need.Ordering more today. (I do still lose them, however! No fix for that yet.) As for which thickness - that's a personal preference, and will vary based on guitar, strings, and style of play. These (.73mm) are slightly more flexible than most mediums, but are stiffer than most "thin" picks for certain.
