Tone hounds -- how far are you willing to go?

[JamesHealey]

Purple Dunlop ones think they're just over 1mm thick, been using these for a while.

Reasons:

A, I can buy them anywhere
B, They're cheap as horse shite
C, NO GUITAR PICK ON THIS PLANET WILL MAKE YOU A BETTER PLAYER!

Artificial tortoise shell for a tenner a pick?

Sure my local petshop would sell you a terrapin for a fiver.

Bloody difficult though to do an arpeggio with a terrapin.  I'd recommend a small mollusc for that.

The picks are reviewed in this month's Guitar Player magazine.  It isn't on the web site yet though.  Suffice to say that the reviewer is now using Red Bear picks!

Was he given them for free for the review? I'd use them if they were free, too!  :D

Not all picks get lost, broken, or worn out. ;)

Now that's just a silly statement

Is your wedding ring much bigger than a guitar pick? Has that ever got lost? If you take care of it, it doesn't get lost, and if it's hard enough it doesn't break or wear either. If I ever lose my stone picks I'll let you know.

I really have trouble seeing what's so outrageous about spending $20 on a pick when most of us gladly spend $400 on a pair of pickups. Can someone fill me in on this one? Is it just that "I lose picks all the time so what's the point?"

It's a little known fact that all plectrums come with small, invisible legs and a mind of their own. When not being used to play guitar they get bored and go off looking for something more interesting to do. They can often be found getting it on with your loose change, chilling out down the back of the sofa or forming an integral part of your son's or daughter's lego constructions.
