Strong match

Who this is for

  • Lead players who want minimal pick flex and a tight attack
  • Fast alternate picking and tremolo where a big pick drags
  • Players who choke up close to the tip for control

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Acoustic strummers — small and stiff makes chords harsh
  • Anyone with large hands who finds small picks cramped
  • Players who like a pick that gives on hard downstrokes

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.

Dunlop Nylon Max Grip Jazz III Guitar Picks 6-Pack 1.38 mm construction detail

Detail 01

1.38 mm

Very stiff. Almost no flex, so all your picking force goes into the string instead of bending the pick.

Detail 02

Jazz III shape

Smaller body and sharper point than a standard pick. Less material between fingers and string means more control.

Detail 03

Max Grip surface

Textured all over, not just a patch. Holds position without a death grip, which matters at speed.

Detail 04

Nylon

Warmer and slightly softer-feeling than the plastic used in the red Jazz III. Slightly less click on attack.

Detail 05

6-pack

Six identical picks. Small picks are easy to lose, so the multi-pack is the practical way to buy them.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Small shape takes adjustment if you are coming from standard picks
  2. 02Stiff gauge exposes sloppy picking technique — nothing forgives for you
  3. 03All six are the same gauge; no way to try adjacent thicknesses

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01How is this different from the regular red Jazz III?

This is the nylon Max Grip version — textured across the whole surface for grip, and 1.38 mm rather than the standard Jazz III's 1.38 mm nylon feel. Warmer attack than the glossy plastic version.

02Is 1.38 mm too thick for strumming?

For most players, yes. It has essentially no flex, so full chords come out hard and clicky. A 0.60 to 0.88 mm pick suits strumming better.

03Why is the pick so small?

Less material between your fingers and the string gives more control and shorter travel between notes, which helps at speed. The trade-off is a smaller grip area.

04Does the grip texture help with sweaty hands?

That is what it is for. The Max Grip surface is textured across the whole pick so it resists rotating and slipping during long sets.
