Detail 01
Extra heavy gauge
Almost no flex. The string moves, not the pick, so attack is louder and more precise on single notes.

Who this is for
- Rhythm players who dig in and want minimal pick flex
- Anyone who loses picks and wants a dozen on hand
- Players who prefer celluloid's slick feel over nylon grip
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Fingerstyle players who rarely use a flatpick
- Light strummers who want the pick to give and soften attack

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.

Celluloid
Slicker and warmer-sounding than nylon or Delrin. Wears down faster and gets a rounded tip over time.

351 shape
The standard teardrop with a rounded body and medium point. Most common pick shape, easy to switch back from.
Detail 04
Shell pattern
Cosmetic only. Brown mottled finish, no effect on tone or stiffness.
Detail 05
One dozen in a tin
Twelve identical picks in a reusable container. Fits in a gig bag pocket or case compartment.

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 hard rhythm and single-note lines, no. For soft chord strumming it can feel harsh and click against the strings. Mediums are more forgiving there.
02What is the 351 shape?
The standard teardrop pick — rounded shoulders, medium-rounded tip. It's the most widely used shape, so most players already know the feel.
03How many picks come in the tin?
Twelve, all the same gauge and pattern.
04Does the shell pattern affect the sound?
No. It's a printed finish on the celluloid. Tone comes from the gauge and material.
