The standard wide teardrop with a rounded tip. Most common pick shape, so grip and attack feel familiar.
Detail 02
Little to no flex. Attack is firmer and more precise, with more volume per stroke and less strum-scrape.

Detail 04
Easier to spot on a dark stage floor or inside a soundhole than black or tortoise picks.
Final check
Product questions
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
Heavy is Fender's stiffest of their three standard gauges, above thin and medium. It barely flexes under a hard strum.
Yes. It is the most widely used shape and gives plenty of surface to hold. Beginners often start with a lighter gauge, though, since heavy is unforgiving on strumming.
Yes. Pick choice is about feel and attack, not instrument type. Heavy picks give strong attack on both, though some acoustic strummers prefer more flex.
Heavy gauge works well for bass since thinner picks flex too much against thick strings. Some bass players go even heavier for a firmer attack.
