Dunlop Primetone Semi-Round 1.3mm Sculpted Plectra (Grip) - 3 Pack Guitar Picks (514P1.30)

This pick has the best warmth I have ever heard from a pick. It is also easy to hold and with the rounded edge, it makes an amazing strummer! In fact, that is what I am using it for. When I play rhythm this is my go to. The texture of this pick makes it slide right off the strings.HOWEVER, if you already have a dark sounding guitar, this might not cut through the mix when you are playing lead. It really depends on the construction of the guitar and the string gauge you choose. This would make an awesome pick for a Taylor guitar that needs a little warming up. In my case I have rosewood sides and back and this seems almost too warm at times for playing lead. Unless, you are only on the higher strings.It is definitely, a great pick to have in your bag! It is solidly in the professional pick category.

The media could not be loaded. I’ve been searching for the perfect pick for me. I had been using a more jazz-shaped oval in Medium, but lately due to my mild arthritis, I’ve had trouble holding on to them while strumming. I decided to try these out (the 1.3 version) based on the stellar reviews and its “grippiness,” and WOW, they are even better than advertised. Coming from using Medium picks, this thickness was totally fine and the ridges in the middle on both sides keep the pick in my fingers, as the reviews stated. The stiffness and shape of the pick not only strums like butter, but my single note picking is much cleaner, too. For $9.99, you really can’t go wrong. Give them a shot!

I've been on a quest for quite a while to find a user friendly pick for the beginner mandolin player. I think I've found it here. Comfortable to hold without to tight of a grip, allowing me to loosen up my wrist and able to achieve a decent tremolo. I also really enjoy the tone.

It's not a Blue Chip but it is a nice pick. It doesn't stick to my fingers like an acrylic or Blue Chip pick does but at the price I've experimented by drilling holes in some to help the grip and ordered the textured models like this one.

The shape makes these perfect for strumming mandolin strings, giving it a warmer, fuller sound than I get with sharper guitar picks.I got a pack of these when I first got my mandolin about 8 years ago, and finally lost the last one a few months ago; I bought another pack and they're still quality. Love them!

Since I purchased my first one over a year ago, I come to grow very fond of these picks. They're solid, and extraordinarily well designed. They're tough. Seriously, the one I've been using most will probably outlast me. The first ones I bought looked beautiful, gloss finish, with embossed imprint to aid gripping, and almost tortoise shell like in appearance. I had been using standard picks for years, and had grown accustomed to the Herco Flex 75's. The Primetone 1.3mm played entirely different than any pick I've used previously. Enough of a change that I almost tossed them. Something told me to stick it out and give them a good road test. Well after about a week, my hand motion adjusted to the shape of the pick and the curved/finished corners. Next thing I knew, my licks were picking up speed and efficiency, and the contacts were clean and clear. To be clear, I play guitar and mandolin. In a nutshell, my technique became more efficient in almost every respect. They've become my go-to pick of choice. Now, most recently, there's a wrinkle. The design has been modified slightly. No longer the slick looking gloss finish. The good folks at Dunlop decided to go with a matte finish. Well ... before, these puppies were flawless; now they're not. They're still great picks, but the ones with the matte finish just don't feel as good in the hand, and it crosses over into to the sound. C'mon fellas, why mess with perfection?

I've been using the Delrin triangle (of various density and maker) picks for years, with the corners Dremeled down. I usually kept a few of these Primetone semi rounds for late night quieter practice. A year or so ago I bought a Yamaha LS-16 (rosewood, A.R.E. spruce top, OOO body) for gigging. Very nice guitar for the price. It was a little bright, and I kept moving up to a heavier delrin pick to mellow. For the heck of it I started using the Primetones on the Yamaha, and it seemed to transform the guitar. I was also starting to have a heck of a time hanging on to the delrins. The raised lettering on the Primetones have eliminated that issue. And, they just don't seem to wear out. I'd say they're well worth the price.

#1 This pick is almost impossible to slip in your fingers or drop. I don't know who came up with the texture but it is unreal#2 Despite being on 1.5mm it is pretty stiff. Good for fast solos or runs#3 Because of the rounded edges, there is no sharp tip to snag when speed picking from string to string.So easy to jump across from one string to the next. It just wants to glide across them. It takes a littlegetting used to but I can play sooooo much cleaner and faster with these.p.s, They are not bring sounding. More on the mellow side, but hey adjust your eq. : -)
