Ernie BallNylon Guitar Picks Medium 1 Dozen
1/3
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A dozen medium nylon picks in blue. Nylon flexes more than celluloid and has a textured grip surface, so it suits strumming more than fast lead work.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Strummers who want a softer, quieter pick attack
- Players whose picks slip during sweaty gigs
- Anyone who loses picks and wants a dozen at once
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Fast lead players who need a stiff, unbending pick
- Players wanting loud, sharp pick attack on acoustic
- Anyone who dislikes the click nylon makes on wound strings
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
Medium gauge
Middle ground. Enough give for comfortable strumming, enough stiffness for single notes without folding over.
Detail 03
Textured grip surface
Nylon picks are molded with a raised grid so the pick stays put under sweaty fingers.
Detail 04
One dozen
Twelve picks in the pack. Enough to stash in cases, pockets and mic stands without rationing.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What thickness is a medium nylon pick?
Medium sits in the middle of the range — noticeably more flexible than a heavy pick, stiffer than a thin. If you strum chords and also play single notes, it is the usual starting point.
02Are nylon picks good for acoustic guitar?
Yes for strumming. The flex and softer attack smooth out chord work. If you want loud, articulate flatpicking, a stiffer pick projects better.
03Why do nylon picks feel grippy?
The surface is textured rather than smooth, so your fingers hold on better than with polished celluloid, especially when your hands sweat.
04Will these work on bass or electric?
Yes, both. On bass the flex softens the attack, which some players want and others find too soft for aggressive picking.
