Ernie BallNylon Guitar Picks Thin 1 Dozen
1/3
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A dozen thin nylon picks for guitarists who want flex and grip. Cheap enough to scatter across cases, gig bags and pockets.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Strummers who want the pick to give under chords
- Players whose fingers slip on slick celluloid picks
- Keeping spares in every case and coat pocket
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Lead players wanting stiff, precise single-note attack
- Anyone chasing a bright, hard pick click
- Bassists — thin picks flex too much for heavy 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
Thin gauge
Bends against the strings, so strumming evens out but fast single notes lose definition.
Detail 03
Textured nylon surface
Nylon grips dry fingers better than glossy picks, which matters when hands sweat under lights.
Detail 04
Pack of 12
Picks get lost constantly. A dozen means you stop rationing them.
Detail 05
Blue
Easier to spot on a dark stage floor or inside a case pocket than black.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Thin picks wear down at the tip faster than heavy ones
- 02No pick holder or case included — just the picks
- 03If you strum and pick lead, buy a heavier gauge too
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How thin is 'thin'?
Thin nylon flexes noticeably under a strum. It's the light end of the range — you feel the pick bend against the strings rather than push through them.
02Can I use these on acoustic guitar?
Yes. Thin picks are a common acoustic strumming choice because the flex softens the attack and blends the strings together.
03Are nylon picks better than celluloid?
Different, not better. Nylon is warmer, grippier and more flexible. Celluloid is brighter and stiffer at the same thickness.
04Will these work for bass?
Not well. Bass strings are heavy enough that a thin pick folds over instead of driving the string. Use a heavier gauge.
