Jim Dunlop 549P1.50 Guitar Picks, 1.5 mm

I think these picks combine some of the best features of other Dunlop picks and put them into one place. It has the the sharpness of a Jazz III, with a wider angle, bevelled, the slight Primetone grip, and made from the Ultex material.The wide angle of the pick really makes a big difference to the way the pick glides over the strings (hence the name “Flow”) which is especially noticeable when you switch back to a more normal pick. It makes it so that there is less of the pick that gets caught underneath the string, which without a doubt helps with speed and control. The bevelled edges only help with this, and they already feel comfortable like a slightly worn in pick when taken straight out the packet to use. You’d think this would sacrifice the attack you get from the pick, but I find the sharp edge still allows you to get same attack from a Jazz III.Ultex as a material is my current favourite, not only because of the clear tone, but because of how long it lasts. Ultex combined with the bevelled edges, and the sharp tip lasts so much longer than a regular pick, there’s no comparison (at least with the thicker 1.5mm which I purchased). Moreover, it’s worth mentioning that as someone who is not a fan of grip on picks, I find the grip on these is more low-profile and non-sharp feeling, so they’re more than bearable. Personally, after a long session of playing there is a bit of soreness that comes with using them, so I can see why Andy James and John Petrucci took off the grip on their signature versions which I’m curious to try.Overall, these are fantastic picks, and if you’re a fan of picks like the Ultex Sharp and Jazz III, then these are worth trying. Hope this review was helpful.

Bought these picks to try after someone recommending them to me, and I'm not disappointed! After using a Jazz 3 max grip pick for years I was pleasantly surprised how at home I felt with using the Flow picks.They glide over the strings making picking and playing a breeze, plenty of grip due to the raised logo and it's very comfortable to use for long sessions.

I bought these on a whim as the grippy picks I usually use weren't available at the thickness I like. I didn't expect much when looking at the pictures but my god was I mistaken.The picks do not move at all when you are playing, but are still maneuverable when you need them to be. I was honestly so shocked at how nice these are especially as I normally do not use Jim Dunlop picks. The 1.5mm picks have just the right amount of flex with plenty of grip. The shape is perfect for switching between chords and solos and even when my hands get sweaty the pick still DOES. NOT. SLIP.Honestly cannot recommend these enough, they don't dig into your figures like some other grippy picks do but still manage to not shift at all and sound great at the same time.

Like other Dunlop picks I have used these provide more grip than standard picks; these however play very nicely and I like the tone [these being slightly thicker than the one I had been using]. Not cheap but I would buy again. Personally I wouldn't mind if they were slightly larger just so that there was a bit more to get hold of.

Good sturdy picks with a rough grip on them so less likely to fly out of your hand.

(Jim Dunlop Flow Standard Picks 2mm) I love these picks, they felt strange at first because they are slightly smaller than my previous pick, but after i got used to them they felt amazing. The grip feels perfect, the curved edge feels perfect to me, and i can flow through runs really well now (my previous pick would kind of stick every now and then when doing fast solos). They are so effective for me that it almost feels like they are 'lubricated' compared to my previous choice of pick. They're brilliant and i feel like i've found exactly what i was looking for

Phenomenal plectrums. The Ultex material is my favourite and the bevel accommodates fast and precise playing. You will need to get used to it at first if you are coming from thinner picks but I had to get used to the Jazz III's at first too then could never go back to normal picks. I also ordered the JUMBO 3MM version since no one really mentioned what the difference was. The JUMBO 3MM is marginally wider from top view but is significantly thicker cross section wise. I find it helps get from string to string quicker than the Standard 2MM but because of that very fact, there is more room for mistakes since you might hit a string when skipping. As I mentioned above, all picks need some adaptation period. Give it at least 3 days of constant use and I'm sure it will improve your playing in every aspect. I would say the same 2MM comes out on top considering you get 6 for the same price but isn't to steep a curve if you're coming from 1.5MM or lower pick size. The tone from the 3mm Jumbo however is fatter and fuller. You decide.

Only guitar players with serious intentions can know what it takes to develop techniques advanced in precision and high speed,and the correct plectrum thickness is important,and after having shortfalls in accuracy despite concentrated focus over an extended period on the right hand and sage counsels from top players on YouTube,I finally realised that it must be the pick,being too flexible at 1.0.,and as soon as I tried this 1.5,even after just a short while,I knew that this is the answer,and even though guitar lords of shred Steve Vai,John Petrucci Guthrie Govan and Frank Gambale still have nothing to worry about in new contenders for their thrones,little old me will be a lot happier with his playing.So that's lovely then.Great stuff from Jim Dunlop.

Chegou rápido e sem avaria. A escrita em alto relevo realmente produzem um grip muito bom, mas se você tem o hábito de "esconder" a palheta entre os dedos e alternar entre picking e fingerpick, vai precisar "lixar" um pouco as letras para reduzir o grip, porque fica inviável deslizar a palheta entre os dedos.

Consider this an upgrade from my Max Grip Jazz III's. That's says it all. It's like a Big Stubby mated with an Ultex, with a bit of Jaz III. At 2.0 it's not nearly as cumbersome. You still get that glide, but with imporved grip, material and it allows for more accurate string contact. Solid 5/5. Don't know how Dunlop can top this one tbh?

Muy cómodo

Nice & thick. Good for shredding.

J'utilise des médiators fin pour le struming, je suis en train de monter progressivement l'épaisseur en même temps que je fais évoluer ma technique. Ce médiator est parfait pour tout faire, struming et picking en acoustique mais aussi guitare électrique.
