0.73 mm thickness
Medium. Enough stiffness for controlled single notes, still enough give that hard strumming doesn't feel rigid.

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
Stiffer and harder than nylon at the same gauge. Brighter attack, more note definition, and it resists tip wear.
Detail 03
Sharp tip shape
The point concentrates contact into a smaller area, so notes speak faster and more precisely than a standard rounded tip.
Detail 04
6 pack quantity
Six picks. Fewer spares than a dozen pack, but Ultex tips hold their shape longer than softer materials.
Detail 05
Yellow color
Ultex picks are naturally amber-yellow and translucent — easy to spot on a dark stage floor or in a gig bag.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Sharp tips wear to a rounder point over time and the attack softens
- 02The stiff, bright attack is noticeably different from nylon at the same gauge
- 03Picks only — no holder or case
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What's the difference between Ultex and nylon picks?
Ultex is harder and stiffer. It gives a brighter, more defined attack with less pick flex, and the tip wears down slower than nylon.
02Is 0.73 mm thick or thin?
Medium. Thicker than the light 0.60 mm gauge, thinner than the 0.88 mm and up that lead players often use.
03What does the sharp tip change?
It puts less material against the string, so the note starts faster and cleaner. Good for picking out individual notes, more aggressive on strums.
04How many picks are in the pack?
Six, all 0.73 mm.
