1.0 out of 5 stars poor quality, September 23, 2010

First, I thought these were the standard 351 shape and they are not. They are smaller and the tip is more blunt than the 351 making them a "slower" pick. But my real complaint is quality. As a former sheet metal punch press programmer these are my observations. Small parts "oil-can" when created with a single punch operation. These are "oil-canned" and not flat. No attempt was made to flatten them out. They are bowl shaped and the edges are square. Not beveled like the picture. I read another complaint before about this and it is true. For the cost I expected some quality. These picks literally cost about a penny a piece to manufacture "as-sold". You know how a machine gun sounds on auto-fire? That's how fast a CNC spits out parts like these.

4.0 out of 5 stars Durable But Not Versatile, July 31, 2006

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Ice Pix Stainless Steel Guitar Picks - 3 Pack Heavy 3-Pack

Hey these picks are very strong and durable. Because they are metal, they produce very twangy sounds, especially on acoustics. They are also extremely sturdy, and a pack of three is plenty to last you a while. The only problem, is that they can't produce a wide variety of sound. Their lack of versatility will come back to haunt you when you want to use different picking techniques to add some flavor to whatever it is your playing. These are great for metal though, because they are sharp and strong sounding, but for anything like prog, these picks make it difficult.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cool 'Pix', Okay Feel, Cool Sound, but Might Need Modification, January 7, 2012

This review is from: Ice Pix Stainless Steel Guitar Picks - 3 Pack Heavy 3-Pack

After reading through the reviews of this products on a few different websites I went ahead and ordered some of the stainless steel guitar picks. I really like how smooth the beveled edge feels compared to the usual delrin or plastic picks, but they're a little bowl-shaped, so I'm having to go back and flatten them out myself (which I am not enjoying), and I don't like how one side is beveled while the other is not- this means I'm getting more of a scrape-pluck-scrape-pluck sound when I'm using alternating picking. I'm going to see if I can get my dad's help to make them really flat, a little more pointed and beveled on both sides. (He's a machinist.) I would recommend anyone buying them to consider doing the exact same thing (though, to be perfectly honest, you shouldn't have to go to this trouble at all). Again, they're good picks, and maybe I just got a lemon (which I'll have no trouble fixing, really), but if the rest of the picks coming from Ice Pix's manufacturer are the same as mine they'll need to be modified in order for you to get the full benefit, so don't fret. (Pardon the pun.) Now while you could, if you wanted, go and buy a 351 or jazz pick punch for about $25 ([...]), and get plastic sheets, in varying thicknesses, designed specifically for being punched into guitar picks ([...]), they're plastic, NOT metal, which has a completely different feel and sound! Anyway, try these metal picks out! They'll last you a lifetime and then some! I've heard some neat things about their brass picks, too, so maybe I'll those out a little further down the line.
