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
Small shape
Less material between your fingers and the string, which some players read as more control and directness.
Detail 03
10-pack
Enough to seed a case, a gig bag and a mic stand without reordering for a while.
Detail 04
Black finish
Hard to spot on a dark stage floor or inside a black-lined case.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Gauge and shape are personal. Ten of the wrong pick is ten wasted.
- 02Extra heavy picks are harder on strings than thin ones.
- 03All ten are identical, so there is no gauge variety to test.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is extra heavy too stiff for strumming?
For most strummers, yes. A stiff pick does not flex across the strings, so chords come out loud and percussive rather than smooth.
02What does the small shape change?
It gives you a shorter pick body to hold. Players who grip near the tip often prefer it; players who like a broad surface to hold usually do not.
03Are these good for bass?
Extra heavy gauge suits bass, since heavier strings push thin picks around. Whether the small shape works for you is a matter of grip preference.
04How long will ten picks last?
That depends entirely on how hard you play and how often. Heavy picks wear slowly, but they also get lost far faster than they wear out.
