I haven’t tried those but I do think that folks fail to properly appreciate the utility and importance of the pick. You know, the thing that actually causes the majority of our sounds.

Conway would say I’m just trying to justify my $30 hawk picks :)

Um, most of them are a Jazz III?

The "custom bevel" is going to last how long?

Also the bevel is caused by your own technique so I don't see the purpose of using a pick with someone elses bevel on it.


TL;DR
Dunlop Jazz III FTW

A Jazz III that doesn't wear out?

OK, I'll put some of those in my cart next time strings and beyond does a free shipping promo.

I use a 50c coin. The thickness can vary a little; some of the earlier 2006 coins are a little thinner than the current ones and I prefer these.

How about that for picky :lol:

In the past, every time I ordered something I’d throw in a couple of 12 packs of 1mm tortex. I’ve got a zillion now, and always lose them before they wear out...
