Dan's Guitar Store - Precision Pick 3.00mm - 5-Pack - Extra Heavy Premium Plectrums for Professionals…

These are obviously for people who like a heavy pick, but these are probably the best mass production thick picks you can get. There's a couple of reasons for that - Firstly these picks play extremely well. The edges are nicely bevelled and get a very reliable break off the strings no matter how you grip or how hard you pick. I've found they're particularly good for very fast rhythm chugs (think War Ensemble) because it's clean and crisp on up and down strokes, even on thick strings. Second, they are polycarbonate, so they keep their edge very well. You don't need a bag of a hundred, they will survive a long time. Third, they are cheaper than the Dunlop option (Flow Gloss 3.0) and have all the features that you'd get from those, and these are a bit grippier. All that together makes them very good. I personally don't find them quite as grippy as I would like, but I have put grip tape on almost every plectrum I've owned for 10 years so that's a me thing. You can argue that Winspear make better picks, and have more options, but those are bespoke items that cost ten quid each. And while I love the company, they rarely have things in stock anyway. I would like to see this thickness and material in Dan's "mini" size pick, because these are a little big for me, but these are still a five star item. The sweet spot of being a thick, great playing pick at a sensible price, and they'll last you forever.

These are great little picks and good value at the price. Although quite bulky at 3 mm the design gives a good grip between finger and thumb and the bevel edges mean that you have the weight of a bulkier pick but the thin edge for good movement across strings and precision picking. Slightly less flexible for strumming than a much thinner pick but easy to adjust to. I've only recently started trying thicker picks and these are the best I've tried so far. Early days as yet, so no evidence on how well the edges hold up to regular playing, but on their way to being my main pick.

Perfect size and stiffness. The color helps finding it when dropped. Looks awesome and the thickness combined with the bevels is slices through fast passages. I had a crazy riffing/chugging session and it looked exactly the same, highly durable! I WILL say it was getting caught in the strings because of how much longer and sharper the tip was but that's ACTUALLY good. I just used less tension and voila! That's why I play thick picks but 3mm is new for me so I play with even LESS tension. Great. It means it will last longer before I throw it away.

I have used Jazz3s for year but wanted to try a thicker pick for better grip and control. These did not disappoint. Brilliant grip and has sped up my picking no end.

I love these plectrums. Bought a few a while back to try out, just because they looked different. I’d always previously gone for the standard pick shape and I was curious about these. Wow! I’m never going back to a standard pick again. These are just perfect. I can imagine they might not be for everyone, but you don’t know unless you try. I genuinely believe these have made my picking smoother, faster and just overall better.

Love the thickness between my fingers when holiding them. The taper to the tip is great. Good grip, good price. Just need them to make a 5mm thick version!

I've always found thick picks to provide the best attack and control for fast alternate picking, excellent for dynamics but most I've tried sound not so good and produce this chirping sound when using high gain a lot of the time. This pick material is excellent and sounds great so provides me with everything a want in a good guitar pick. Highly recommend these.

These picks are truly fantastic. I've been using the previous (slightly thinner) Dan's Guitar Store picks for a couple of years, and was always interested in trying something thicker, for a little more attack. The slight bevelling on the edges of the pick allow it to roll off the string in such a way that it doesn't "catch". It's these little details that make a pick like this stand out from others. As with previous models, the grip is fantastic. You don't feel worried that it's going to slip out of your hand, even when a little sweaty. The little details of a pick are so important, and Dan's Guitar Store have nailed it with this one. I think there's an even thicker model that I'll definitely be trying too!
