Title: Fancy lookin' picks
Post by: Lew on September 22, 2013, 11:54:17 PM

Just ordered the Dagger. I've used Dunlop Jazz III for the last 15 years so I hope the size is as similar to a Jazz III as it looks.

I can't imagine alternate-picking with these.  Down pick only?

Oh well, I got a laugh out of the product names at least....

Quite surprised by the negativity, it's just a pick, not like I've ordered a set of EMGs ;-)

It was sent today so we'll see. If it outlasts 10 JazzIII then it's worth the money. It's made out of some really durable hard wearing plastic.

I imagine that it certainly is durable, but I'm just surprised that people find a pick of that thickness useful on a guitar.  Let us know what it's like to play with

From what I understand it's only the bit you hold that's really thick. The bit you use is tapered thin.

Although, that's not the case on his biggest pick  :lol: :lol:

Same material as my hufschmid pick, after initial wear in it'll last for absolute ages... also a lot cheaper than my pick too :/

Used it for a bit tonight. It's alright. The grip on it is excellent but it does feel a bit like I'm playing the guitar with a spoon. I'll get used to the size before I decide if I love it or hate it. The tip is really elongated which makes it feel quite different to a JAZZ III even though it's a similar shape.
