Dunlop421P Ultex Guitar Picks .73 mm 6-Pack
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Six medium-gauge Ultex picks in .73 mm. A cheap way to try a stiff, bright pick material without committing to a big bag.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players wanting more attack and less flex than a nylon pick
- Replacing picks that wear down fast during heavy strumming
- Keeping spares in a case, gig bag, and pocket at once
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who want a soft, flexible pick for gentle strumming
- Anyone needing thick .88 mm and up for lead playing
- Bass players; .73 mm is thin for heavy string tension

Detail 02
Ultex material
Stiffer and harder than nylon or celluloid. Brighter attack and it resists wearing down at the tip.
Detail 03
6-pack
Enough to lose a few and still have picks. Cheaper per pick than buying singles.
Detail 04
Yellow
Dunlop color-codes by gauge. Yellow means .73 mm, so you can grab the right one by sight.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is .73 mm thin or thick?
Medium. Thinner picks run .46 to .60 mm for light strumming; thick picks start around .88 mm for lead work. .73 mm sits between the two.
02How is Ultex different from a standard pick?
Ultex is harder and stiffer than nylon or celluloid. It gives a brighter, sharper attack and the tip holds its shape longer instead of rounding off.
03What does the yellow color mean?
It is Dunlop's gauge code. Yellow identifies .73 mm, so you can pick the right thickness out of a jar without measuring.
04Will these work for acoustic guitar?
Yes. .73 mm is a common acoustic strumming gauge, though the stiff Ultex material gives a brighter, more percussive attack than a flexible pick.
