How Thick's Your Pick

[Big K]

56's>88's depending on the instrument and feel..

I haven't really experimented all that much with picks. I generally use .73mm or thinner, i just like a little bend to my pick. After reading all this and checking out some reviews I am really interested in checking out some v picks

I'm assuming the answer is "yes," but do all the V-Pick users really think they're worth $4.00 each?

The Fender picks I use are $4-5 a dozen. I can afford to have a "critical mass" of them around so I always have one or two when and where I need them - in my car, in my gig bags, in my guitar cases, etc. And I can afford to wear them out and/or lose them, which I do on a regular basis.

I don't think I would want to do that with V-Picks at four bucks each...unless they're dramatically, amazingly superior to anything else. Are they? And if so, why?

Before this one spirals out of control, I will say that it's an individual thing. I think they are a good pick and others are higher on them and find the value worth the cost.


My favorite pick is the Big Stubby's at about $5.00 per dozen.

Edit: I don't think you will wear out a V pick, but you may lose a couple (they're clear), plus your friends might walk off with them.

2.0 baby. You have total control over the sound that you make when you hit the string. You have great recoil which makes it so much easier to play fast. My buddy had a thin pick that I tried to use...and to me it felt like I was trying to strum with a piece of paper.

I was in the same boat. After trying a couple I came to the conclusion that I just liked it better. For reasons, I mainly listed them here. There's a bunch of other reviews in that thread as well.

I use either Fender Heavy, or Clayton picks at .80 thickness. I tend to switch around with picks alot though and will use a Fender medium once in a while, or a Dunlop Tortex at .73.
