Jim Dunlop 462P100 Tortex III Player Pack (Pack of 12), BLUE, 1.00mm

I have use this pick for about 12 years now I will not change

I have used these picks for years but never tried the thicker gauge.I am a creature of habit and tend to stick with what I know so it was always the orange .60 gague for me. Thought I would try out some thicker plectrums after reading a bit about tone.These really make me attack lead sections in a more aggressive way and the stiffness of the 1.14 gague brings out some extra bite and brightness, I'm converted.They are more durable than the thinner gagues, the point on them stays intact for longer.The coating on the tortex picks ensures they won't slip from your grip and they are the perfect size between your fingers.I have 9's on my Tele and feel that these are a little too heavy handed for that guitar, they are best suited in my opinion to string gagues of 10 or above.

Great value for money

Having experimented with other picks and makes, I've returned to the best picks there is...big green meanies lol.

I have been using the 0.73 yellow one for a long time and wanted to try a thicker version. 1.0 mm (blue) came in and the logos on both sides are not bumpy so it doesn't help with the grip. they also go smudgy after 10 minutes of playing.

What can you say about guitar picks....? These Tortex 3 picks are the perfect size and shape for me and it’s taken me years to find something of this fit and feel that feels just right. They have got a nice sharp point for clear clean picking and I will keep using this model from now on because the Tortex 3 shape has actually helped me improve my picking hand technique. Pick shapes and gauges are entirely all a personal choice of course. I like the dry grippy feel of the Tortex picks when they are new.

Perfect thickness for me!

There are the best feeling picks I've ever used, but the durability is appalling. After a 45 minute set, these are visibly worn down, scratched and chipped. I'm playing pop punk with 9 gauge strings.
