Planet Waves Black Ice Guitar Picks Pack of 10 - Heavy

Good plectrum. At 1.10mm they are slightly stiffer than Fender Heavys.Shape is the same as Dunlop John Petrucci picks (which I normally use) but is ever so slightly more flexible.Good feel and tone when playing.These will probably become my pick up choice.Not badly priced either.

I have moved from Jazz III XL to these and prefer the texture and attack. They are less grippy though which took a little while to get used to. Good value for 25, should last a while.

Quality picks at a decent price.

These are thin jazz shaped picks made from a matt tortex-like material. Sized between jazz III and Jazz III xl.Having come from acoustic Fingerstyle guitar to learn electric, I became quickly frustrated with using a pick and the how much harder it was to get the variety of tone I was used to with my fingers. I soon built up a tin of picks of every size, thickness and material in the search for what I wanted.I settled on Dunlop jazz IIIs for single note work , but was still unhappy with the standard Dunlop nylon picks I was using for rhythm work. Whatever gauge I used, they weren’t quite right. The tortex equivalent were slightly bigger and even worse.I wanted something a similar size and shape to the jazz IIIs but much thinner, slightly bigger and with slight flex for rhythm. Instantly much easier to play with, easier to handle to achieve more variety of tone. Very happy.Having come from nylon picks, I miss the raised grip, but these are thin enough to hole punch cleanly and easily which helps.I also sometimes cheat and use red dax wave and groom wax (very stiff hair wax with a high melting point - way cheaper than gorilla snot) to add that extra bit of tack!

Good all round pick

Been using the Dunlop 1.5 for ever and just tried this on a whim because I saw Jeff MacErlain using them and he said there great for dynamic playing! Well he’s not wrong, now my go to pick! Can play super soft then dig in and has great dynamic range! Doesn’t move in my hand at all and great for chords, lead and fast (ish) picking! Very impressed ! Looks similar to a jazz 3 but much more comfortable

I'll admit, I first heard of these picks through Tosin Abasi, and being a fan-boy, I started using them myself. Tosin has moved on to some other brand now but once I started using these bad boys, I couldn't care less for any other gauge or brand of plectrum. The matte finish gives a solid grip, despite being soft to the touch, and the durability of one pick, no matter how much I abuse it, has been equal to none. I am a very happy customer and don't see myself ever changing brands.

Seem well made but a lot smaller than standard picks
