1.0 out of 5 stars for the price and shipping, it's a rip-off, July 30, 2011

Dunlop .73 picks are the best picks in the world as far as I'm concerned. At a music store they range from 25 to 40 cents each. The description for this item does not show a quantity. Now that I received it, I find you get a dozen for less than four bucks, which wouldn't be bad, but then with the cost of shipping I ended up paying close to nine bucks for twelve picks. I did not see anywhere in the description of the item where they told how many picks you get, and I was hoping for more.

Ever since I started playing the guitar, I've used the nylon Dunlop picks. They're better in a thicker size (1.0mm or larger) but the .73mm size is about the same thickness as a regular Fender pick. They're flexible and easy to pick with, but the biggest plus about the nylon picks is that they will NOT break. You'd almost have to melt one of these things with a lighter to harm it -- so one pack of them will last you yeeeeears.

Also of note: the price keeps going up on these here on Amazon for some reason -- don't pay more than $3-4 for a pack of them, as you can get them at your local music store for about that.

5.0 out of 5 stars My default., February 28, 2011

I've been using these since I started playing 12 years ago. I often venture out and try other brands, styles, thicknesses, but I always end up coming back to the light-gray Jim Dunlop .73mm standard.

In my earliest days, I liked them because they didn't break like the Fender brand and whatever-else-I-was-using did. Granted, it was poor playing technique causing the problem, but the standard nylon Dunlops held up, where as others did not. Also, the .73mm has been the perfect thickness for me, too. It gives enough for easy rhythm, but I'm able to play lead easily with it. I like the .80mm just as much, and use it when I'm playing an acoustic or a more lead-focused set, but the .73mm is my personal classic and therefore my default.

Each player has to determine what works best for them when deciding on a plectrum, so this is my input on these. They're my default and are the standard to which any others I try are compared. The printing on the pick helps you hold on easier, they wear down but don't break, they're always affordable, and they're versatile for lead and rhythm.
