Primetone® Standard Grip Pick .88MM - 3 Pack

I’ve played the JD .88 nylons for decades. These are even better. The .73 is very similar to the grey nylon .88 in terms of stiffness, but it’s much quieter (cleaner edges) and a little faster. Same good traction to hold onto. Definitely superior to celluloid.

These picks are fantastic. Lately celluloid picks seem to be wearing out and breaking incredibly easily, and that's amongst all the main manufacturers. I was looking at my options when I saw these and though skeptical of the price, I tried them out and they're totally worth it. After several days of frequent playing, it looks brand new. It would have been two or three celluloid picks at that rate. They feel great, the texture certainly helps with grip, though I wish the grip extended a little closer to the tip. This material is much stiffer than nylon or celluloid, so you may want a thinner size than you typically use. Now the only problem is not losing them.

Been using a Big Stubby 2.0mm for years, but always felt it was too slippery and didn't like the dent in the middle. The pick just seemed to move around a lot and I couldn't get a comfortable grip. So I decided to search for the perfect pick and Im glad I did. I like the feel and playability of thicker picks so I purchased and sampled a TON of 1.0mm - 4mm...and as I decided many years ago, 2mm is the perfect size and feel for me. Once I tried these Dunlop Primetone Sculpted plectras, my search was over! These are the only picks I use now with all my guitars. Great feel and tone. The pick just glides through the strings...really nice for lead runs and strumming and the raised lettering provided the perfect amount of grip. The only negative thing I would say is if you have a really dark sounding guitar, this might make it a bit darker.

Excellent pics. Smooth and articulate. Great feel and sound.

I'm here reviewing this because of the guys on That Pedal Show. In a recent livestream of TPS, Mick and Dan rather reluctantly mentioned guitar picks--apparently it's a topic they have actively avoided delving into at length on their show. Anyway, they both sang the praises of Dunlop Primetone picks--sculpted picks with beveled edges, about 1.4 mm thick. They like them because the pick material glides over the strings very well. So I thought I'd check them out. I always play standard, Fender-style picks between .60 and .80 mm. I don't play 1.4 mm picks, though, because those are more like a lead pick than a rhythm pick. I'm not much of a lead player anyway--I like picks with a little flex in them so they 'give' a little when I'm hitting chords. I was happy to notice that Dunlop makes Primetone picks in .73 mm and a traditional shape, which is ideal for me. I was also happy to see that the price was fairly reasonable--about a dollar per pick for a three-pack. I placed an order immediately. I've now been trying one out for the last week or so. Apparently the picks are hand shaped and finished, with the shaper's initials marked on the package. The material is smooth and it glides over the strings easily--they're very fast and accurate. They have embossed logos to help grip the pick--it's raised just enough to be useful without being annoying. The pick feels nice in the fingers, and so far it's a real pleasure to play. Pick noise seems to be less than other picks, but I will put more time in with them to be really sure. The picks are in a pleasant, root beer color, which I really like, but on my brown ottoman it virtually disappears when I put one down. I wish Dunlop could make these in brighter colors. Dunlop Tortex picks have been among my main picks for a long time, mainly for the feel of the material in my fingers--especially when they're brand new. Now I feel like Primetone and Ultex picks are gradually pulling me over toward smoother materials and faster play. So far, Primetones are a winner. Kudos to the guys at That Pedal Show for pointing these out.

Pro player here - These have a crisp tone and are easy to grip. A friend introduced them to me 10 years ago saying, "the cost is going to hurt a little, but you'll never go back to other picks." I really hate that he was right.

Nice bevel with smooth and snappy picking. Really great if you're a habitual flat-picker, but will take adjustment if you like to angle your grip. The material feels sturdy and dense, like a slice of jade. All the edges are very smooth and round, but the bevel gives it some kick.

A great pick natural sound excellent grip

These are the best picks money can buy. I have been using the same one for over four years and there is only negligible wear. I only bought more as it is the first time I have seen them available since my first purchase.

It is much better than expected. I am using it for my acoustic guitar.

Liegt gut und fest zwischen den Fingern. Guter Sound

I have 3 different gauges of Primetone picks and like the way they glide off the strings, The 1.0 is versatile, strum or pick. More money than the standard picks, but a nice upgrade.

Foi pro meu filho que toca violão. Ele gostou.
