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.

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.

I think the product doesn't look as appealing as I expected, but it works fine. I would say that considering the price I would expect something better, but I was not very disappointed in any sense. It's okay for a beginner pick.

Product works as advertised. After reading product descriptions I decided on this particular one because of name brand and a love for Dunlop picks. Dont think i have ever broken one.

I've used the .60mm and .73mm Dunlop Nylon picks during my entire professional music career. I rock hard. Acoustic, electric, and Bass! I've tried almost every other pick on the market and they break far too easily. Dunlop's Nylon picks don't break, and once you find the thickness that fits your needs, you'll find that they have excellent string attack and are easily kept in grip. I rarely ever drop one of these picks while preforming. Maybe 5 times in my entire career. Buy these picks.

Have been using these picks for over 5 years now. I mainly use them for my Epiphone Dove (acoustic) with Ernie Ball Slinky (electric) strings (10 gauge). Great string attack. Very comfortable compared to the Tortex picks. However, it's a preference. Would recommend for you to pick some up and try them and see what's best for you and your taste.

I have been using Dunlop picks for a long time. Good feel, grip and not too heavy or thick. Good deal.

It seems that I am not the only one to have settled in on Dunlop nylon .73mm picks as my pick of choice. They're often hard to get in the local music stores....first size to run out. I was happy to find them online for a good price. Started using these 7 or 8 years ago, and never looked back. Nothing plays better or lasts longer. I have never broken one or worn one out.... I just lose them eventually. Try them.... I know you'll like them!

I have been using dunlop pics for the last 20 years. The .73 are my favorite because they are easy to grip and not too thick or too thin. I play acoustic guitar and have found them to be the most comfortable to use.
