DunlopUltex Sharp Picks - 6 Pack 2.0 mm
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A six-pack of 2.0 mm Ultex picks with a sharpened tip. For players who want a stiff pick with a precise point for fast single-note work.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Fast alternate picking and tremolo where a flexing pick lags
- Players who want articulate note definition on single-note runs
- Anyone who wears through thinner picks quickly
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Strummers who want the pick to give under chords
- Beginners still developing a light picking hand
- Players who prefer a rounded tip for a softer 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
Ultex material
Stiff and slick with a bright, hard attack. It holds an edge longer than nylon, which softens as it wears.
Detail 03
Sharp tip
The point contacts less string surface, so notes speak faster and cleaner. Less pick noise on strums than a wide tip.
Detail 04
6-pack
Enough to keep spares in a case, gig bag and pocket, since these are the easiest thing on stage to lose.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Ultex is slick — if your hands sweat, look at a gripped pick instead
- 02Jumping from a thin pick to 2.0 mm changes your attack; expect an adjustment
- 03Yellow is the color for this thickness, so packs are easy to tell apart
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is 2.0 mm too thick for a beginner?
Probably. A stiff pick punishes an uneven picking hand because nothing flexes to absorb a heavy stroke. Most players start thinner and work up.
02What is Ultex made of?
It is a stiff, hard polymer Dunlop uses for its brighter attack and wear resistance. It is harder and slicker than nylon.
03Does the sharp tip wear down?
The point rounds off with use, gradually softening the attack. Ultex holds its shape longer than softer materials, but a sharp tip is still the first thing to go.
04Will these work for acoustic guitar?
Yes, though 2.0 mm is stiff for strumming an acoustic. It suits flatpicking single-note lines better than open chord work.
