Detail 01
.53 mm gauge
Thin. Flexes against the strings, softening attack and evening out strum volume. Less control on individual notes.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Thin .53 mm picks in a dozen pack. For strummers who want the pick to flex and glide across the strings rather than dig in.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Acoustic strumming where you want even volume across six strings
- Players who lose picks constantly and want cheap spares
- Light rhythm parts on electric where attack should stay soft
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Single-note lead playing — .53 mm bends and slows you down
- Heavy palm-muted riffing that needs a stiff edge
- Bass, where thin picks fold on wound strings
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Standard shape
The common teardrop outline. Fits any pick holder, and grip position matches whatever you already play.
Detail 03
Dozen pack
12 picks at this price is about 50 cents each. Enough to seed a case, a stand, and a couple pockets.
Detail 04
Blue color
Easier to spot on a dark stage floor or inside a soundhole than black or clear.
Final check
Know before you order

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is .53 mm good for beginners?
For strumming chords, yes — the flex forgives uneven pick angle and keeps the attack quiet. For picking single notes, a medium around .70 mm gives more control.
02How many picks do I get?
Twelve, all .53 mm.
03Will these work on acoustic and electric?
Both. The thin gauge suits acoustic strumming and light electric rhythm on either instrument.
04What's the difference between .53 mm and a medium pick?
About .20 mm, which is enough to feel. The .53 bends noticeably during a strum; a medium holds its shape and pushes the string harder.
