DunlopUltex Sharp Picks - 6 Pack 1.0 mm
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 6-pack of 1.0 mm Ultex picks with a sharpened tip, for players who want a stiff pick and a fast, defined attack.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Fast single-note runs where a rounded tip feels sluggish
- Players who wear through nylon or celluloid picks quickly
- Getting a bright, articulate attack out of a dull-sounding guitar
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Strummers who want the pick to give and soften chords
- Players who prefer a warm, rounded pick attack
- Anyone who likes thin, flexible picks under 0.7 mm
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
Hard and slick. Brighter and more clicky than nylon, and it holds its tip shape far longer.
Detail 03
Sharp tip
Narrower point than a standard 351 shape. Cleaner note definition and more pick noise on wound strings.
Detail 04
6-pack
Enough to keep spares in a case, a gig bag, and a pocket without reordering.
Detail 05
Yellow
Easy to spot on a dark stage floor or inside a soundhole.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Ultex is slippery when your hands sweat; some players scuff it or add grip tape
- 02A sharp tip makes string noise more audible under bright amp settings
- 03If you strum hard, 1.0 mm may feel stiff against light-gauge strings
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is 1.0 mm too thick for strumming?
It works, but it doesn't flex much, so chords come out with a harder, more percussive attack. Strummers usually prefer 0.6–0.8 mm.
02How does Ultex compare to nylon?
Ultex is harder and brighter with almost no flex at a given thickness, and the tip wears down much more slowly. Nylon is warmer and grippier.
03What does the sharp tip actually change?
It concentrates the contact point, so individual notes come through more defined. It also picks up more scrape noise across wound strings.
04How many picks come in this pack?
Six, all 1.0 mm.
