- Players who want the classic 351 outline in a stiff gauge
- Rhythm players needing consistent attack without pick flex
- Anyone restocking a familiar shape in bulk
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who like a thin pick that bends into the strings
- Anyone needing textured or gripped picks for sweaty hands

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
351 shape
The standard rounded-triangle outline most players learn on. One primary tip, two rounded shoulders.
Detail 03
Celluloid
Bright top end and audible pick click. It is the traditional material, warmer than acrylic and slicker than nylon.
Detail 04
Shell pattern
The tortoiseshell-style mottling is in the material itself, not printed, so it does not rub off with use.
Detail 05
Vintage series
Follows the older celluloid formula and outline rather than a modern shaped or beveled profile.
Detail 06
One dozen
12 in the pack. Enough to leave picks in a case, a stand, and a pocket without rebuying.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Loose picks only — no tin or storage included
- 02No grip hole or textured surface; celluloid gets slick when wet
- 03Celluloid wears faster than delrin at this gauge
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How is this different from the triangle version?
This is the standard 351 shape with one main playing tip. The triangle gives three usable corners and a larger grip area, but is bulkier to hold.
02Is 1.21 mm good for lead playing?
Yes. The stiffness means the tip does not deflect on fast single notes, so picking stays precise. Some players find it too rigid for strumming chords.
03Will the black shell finish wear off?
The pattern runs through the celluloid rather than sitting on top, so it does not wear off. The tip itself will round off with playing time.
04How does celluloid compare to nylon?
Celluloid is brighter and stiffer at the same gauge, with more pick click. Nylon is grippier and softer, and flexes more against the string.
