Jim Dunlop Primetone® Triangle Grip Pick 1.5MM - 3 Pack

I like the feel/grip and sound of the picks. They definitely catch and release the strings more predictably than most. The sound is mellow and fairly dark. For my taste they’re great for rhythm playing but when playing melodies they don’t produce a clean cutting tone. For most types of playing they’re great, particularly at their price point. For those looking for a Blue Chip-like pick these aren’t them. If I want a clear clean tone and a pick that allows me to play faster and smoother than any other pick I’ll always grab my TAD40 or 50 and leave the Primetones at home. "For those looking for a Blue Chip-like pick these aren’t them." OK, so I may very well be wrong. I just got done playing a bluegrass set on my D-18 with a new set of Martin Retro Bluegrass strings using a 1.4mm version of this pick - the guitar sounded amazing and keeping tempo was no more effort than a BC pick. Depending on a person's taste and gear setup, the Primetone may meet all your needs. Clearly at a more budget friendly price too!

I've tried tons of different picks, including some of the boutique ones that sell for pretty jaw-dropping prices. These are more expensive than really base level picks but not crazily so. They're easy to hold, have very nice sculpted tips, barely wear out, and are very rigid with almost no flex. This is the perfect pick for me for most applications. They aren't great for strumming kinds of things and my guess is they'd be uncomfortable for beginners or early intermediate players because this heavy a pick really requires a developed picking hand and a light touch. But for lines or more downstroke jazz or metal style chord work, they're perfect. They work great on both acoustic and electric guitars or on a bass if you're willing to risk the time in Bass Purgatory.

3 sided and rather large. I didn't think I'd like them, but the size is a big plus. I don't lose my grip on this and if it slips a little its so much easier to control. A little pricey..... but worth it to me.

Okay, fellow Amazon shopper... if you are just beginning your adventure with guitar or mandolin, you will be shocked to learn that some folks pay $35 or more for a single guitar pick. (Blue Chip and Tone Slab are two of the popular high-dollar options, and they truly are phenomenal quality. Go buy one of those when you turn pro.) The Jim Dunlop Primetone family of picks offers a variety of shapes, sizes, and thicknesses. I like this shape and thickness for my mandolin. The edges are nicely beveled for smooth action against the strings, and the thickness allows the sound to come from the strings rather than from the pick flopping around. You might also like the Golden Gate "Clown Barf" picks. They are equally nice sounding, and they don't hide in the bottom of your instrument case! Blue Chip and Tone Slab picks definitely have their place, but if you are on a budget (who's not these days?) the Primetone and Golden Gate picks are excellent alternatives for a FRACTION of the price.

It's not a Blue Chip but it is a nice pick. It doesn't stick to my fingers like an acrylic or Blue Chip pick does but at the price I've experimented by drilling holes in some to help the grip and ordered the textured models like this one.

What pick you choose is subjective and personal. I find these very comfortable with nice tone and thickness.

These are a real step up from run-of-the-mill picks. Less slipping and the triangular shape saves you anyway. It Ain't a blue chip but its 1/10 th the price and not a bad stand-by if the Blue Chip gets lost.

Functional

I play Dreadnought guitars with these large triangle picks. I thought they would be too big, but they're fine. The first picks I have owned that stay put in my finger grip.

Zeer goed plectrum voor de mandoline. 👍👍

Love these picks,they are perfect for me!

Was soll ich sagen, ich hab recht große Finger, daher mag ich fürs Strumming eher größere Pleks... Dieses liegt mir gut in der Hand und es klingt tatsächlich gut für meine verwöhnten Ohren. Ich hab schon so viele Pleks in der Hand gehabt, aber nur ein V-Pick vom Thomann ist vom Klang so ähnlich, aber ein wenig schriller. Dieser passt mir momentan am liebsten, selbst wenn es sich mal dreht, was mir nicht mehr so oft passiert, ist es ja abgesichert. Gut zum üben für Anfänger die bisher nur ganz dünne Picks fürs Strumming nehmen. Klanglich für mich recht ausgewogen, die Leute die es bisher gehört haben lobten den Sound auch.

ピックのエッジが使い込んで丸まったあの感じに研磨されており、最初から馴染んだ感じで弾けます。
