Thin. Bends against the strings, which evens out strumming and softens attack on individual notes.

Dunlop421P Ultex Guitar Picks .60 mm 6-Pack
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Ultex picks in .60 mm, six to a pack. A thin pick for strumming and rhythm players who want a stiffer material than nylon.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Acoustic strumming where you want a bright, clear attack
- Rhythm playing on electric with light resistance
- Players who wear through softer picks quickly
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Fast single-note lead lines — .60 mm flexes too much
- Heavy palm-muted riffing that needs a rigid pick
- Players who prefer a warm, muted 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.
Detail 02
Ultex material
Stiff and slick with a bright top end. Holds its point longer than nylon or celluloid.
Detail 03
6-pack
Enough to stash picks in a case, gig bag, and pocket without reordering right away.
Detail 04
Yellow
Dunlop color-codes Ultex by gauge, so yellow reads as .60 mm at a glance in a pick jar.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Ultex feels harder and more slippery than Tortex at the same gauge
- 02Thin picks click audibly on the strings under a mic
- 03No grip texture — sweaty hands may want a gripped pick instead
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is .60 mm too thin for lead playing?
For most players, yes. It flexes on single notes, which blurs attack. Look at 1.0 mm or heavier if you play lead.
02How is Ultex different from Tortex?
Ultex is harder and brighter with a slicker surface. Tortex has a matte grip and a softer, warmer attack at the same gauge.
03Will these work on bass or acoustic?
Acoustic, yes — .60 mm suits strumming well. On bass, .60 mm is very thin and will feel flimsy against heavy strings.
04Do they wear down fast?
Ultex resists wear better than celluloid or nylon. The tip holds its shape rather than fraying, though it will eventually round off.
