- Players who wear through nylon or celluloid picks quickly

Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Strummers who want give and a softer attack from the pick
- Players who prefer thin picks for acoustic rhythm
- Anyone who finds heavy picks stiff and hard to control
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
Very stiff and hard-wearing. Brighter and snappier than nylon, holds its edge far longer than celluloid.
Detail 03
Sharp tip profile
Narrower point than a standard shape. More defined note attack and easier string-to-string accuracy at speed.
Detail 04
Six-pack
Picks get lost and dropped constantly. Buying a pack means a consistent feel across your case, gig bag and stands.
Detail 05
Yellow color
Easier to find on a dark stage floor or inside a soundhole than black or clear picks.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Heavy picks feel very different if you normally use medium — expect an adjustment
- 02The sharp tip is brighter than a rounded tip at the same thickness
- 03Ultex is slick; grip can suffer with sweaty hands
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is 1.14 mm too thick for strumming?
It's on the heavy side for strumming. There is almost no flex, so chords come out louder and more aggressive. Many acoustic strummers prefer something thinner.
02How does Ultex compare to nylon?
Ultex is stiffer, brighter and much more wear-resistant. Nylon flexes more and has a warmer, softer attack. Ultex holds its tip shape far longer under heavy playing.
03What does the sharp tip actually do?
It concentrates the contact point on the string, giving a more defined attack and clearer note separation. Useful for fast alternate picking and tight palm-muted riffs.
04Will these wear out my strings faster?
A stiff, pointed pick can add wear compared to a soft, rounded one, but the main factor is how hard you play. Normal picking won't noticeably shorten string life.
