DunlopUltex Sharp Picks - 6 Pack 1.4 mm
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Six 1.4 mm Ultex picks with a pointed tip. Built for players who want a stiff pick and precise, articulate attack.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Fast single-note lines where a flexing tip blurs the attack
- Metal and hard rock rhythm needing a tight, defined pick attack
- Players who wear through softer picks quickly
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Loose acoustic strumming — 1.4 mm barely gives
- Beginners still learning strumming control
- Players who want a soft, rounded attack
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
Sharp tip
The pointed tip concentrates contact into a smaller area — faster string release and a brighter, more defined note.
Detail 03
Ultex material
Hard and stiff with a bright top end. Resists wear well, so the tip point stays sharp longer than softer plastics.
Detail 04
Yellow color
Ultex is translucent amber-yellow. Easy to spot, and you can see the tip wearing down before it changes your tone.
Detail 05
6-pack
Enough to keep spares in your case and pockets without buying a full dozen.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is 1.4 mm too thick for a beginner?
It can be. A stiff pick punishes imprecise strumming because nothing flexes to forgive a bad angle. Start thinner if you're still building your right hand.
02What does the sharp tip actually do?
It reduces the contact area with the string, so the pick releases faster. The result is a brighter, more articulate note and easier tremolo picking.
03How does Ultex compare to Tortex?
Ultex is harder and brighter with more attack; Tortex is matte with a softer, warmer feel. Ultex also holds its tip shape longer.
04Will these work for bass?
Yes. Stiff picks suit bass well since heavy strings would flex a thinner pick. The sharp tip gives a defined, clicky attack.
