    They seem very interesting. I think I will order some.

    Jon, you have some of these then? What's better about them in your opinion?

    Hey, Robert!

    What's good about them? Just about everything...

    The tone is wonderful for most styles. I like the fact that they are sensitive to attack. They can be very mellow hybrid picking. The V-Pick will emulate the tone of your fingers and create a very even sound. When you dig in, they will get "angry" when you want them to. Some of the reviewers who are shredders don't seem to care for them as much, but then again some do. They "glide" across the strings very well for arpegiating, chording, or single lines, and actually have a kind of "sexy" feel as you play. And they are VERY COOL LOOKING.

    I have met Vinni, the Prez of V-Picks, and he is a straight up dude. A real nice guy and AWESOME git player. He has picks in the hands of Robben ford, Gabe Manzo of Malo, maybe Jorge Santana, WCR pickups guru Jim Wagner, etc. If you order some, tell him John Dean said to throw in an extra. Vinni would appreciate having you in his corner. I think you'll really dig them....Let me know. (I sound like a salesman, don't I. I'm just really stoked on them.)

    Check out vinni's sites.

    Take care,

    John

    I've tried Davas years ago, but I don't know about the Master Controls. In my opinion, there is really not another pick like the "V". If you like them at all you'll get to loving them real quick and probably be hooked.

    I didn't know Vinni was on this thread. I'll email him and have him chime in and answer questions. Check out the PRS birds and Moons site, PRS Gear Page site, and the Axe House Consortium site to check out what people are saying. Vinni has answered a lot of questions on those.

    Oh, and Robert, I finally got a Bad Monkey.....TIGHT!
