4.0 out of 5 stars Good picks, good buy.
They're cheap, durable, feel good, look great, and there's really no noticable difference between them and more expensive teardrop picks except the price and the logo.

2.0 out of 5 stars Watch out for the shipping charges
Thought I paid a little more attention. Bought this item at the same time as some other items. Wasn't paying complete attention (my fault) but ended up paying an additional $4 for shipping... for the $2 picks.
Price should be listed as $6, not $2. Ordered on a Saturday, too late to cancel by Sunday, it said had been shipped even though the confirmation shipping...

5.0 out of 5 stars Great buy - Excellent quality and good price, January 15, 2007

As a relative beginner to playing the guitar, I can say these are great picks for the price. You really can't beat the price and quality. I have had no problem using them for casual guitar use/practice.

However when ordering this item on amazon you are not given the option for choosing the thickeness of the pick. When ordering this same item on other websites you are given the option to choose either, "heavy, medium, light" picks, but here on amazon when I ordered I received "medium" thickness picks. For the casual guitarist I think this isn't an issue at all. For serious guitarists I think they would want to specify the thickness.

Kind of a ripoff...

Edit Oct 2008
****Contacted by company and they decided to refund the shipping charges this time. It seems like they listened and tried to do the right thing which is appreciated. Thanks to Musician's Friend****

4.0 out of 5 stars Fender Knock Offs!, November 5, 2005
This review is from: Musician's Friend Standard Celluloid Guitar Picks 1 Dozen, Black Pearl Medium¹
You want a cheap Fender guitar you buy their lower notch brand Squire.You want their lower notch picks,well unfortunately they dont exist.Thats where these come into to play.They are cheap and somewhat durable.Celluloid picks have a tendencey to snap right across the middle though.

They wield great sound and if used right like any other guitar pick great potential.The looks are nice but i like the signature of a real Fender pick.After all these are the Fender pick shape and size.

I say buy these the price is a steal.I say avoid these if you plan to play metal.
(A very nice feeling pick)

I prefer medium thickness picks for my style of playing: Fender Mediums were my favs. These are perfect for me.

4.0 out of 5 stars Regular Guitar Picks, Cool Design, February 23, 2008

This review is from: Musician's Friend Standard Celluloid Guitar Picks 1 Dozen, Black Pearl Medium¹
The picks work fine, they're just your average guitar picks. The design is cool, looks holographic. Shipping is quite high, however, if you plan to buy these picks without another product from the same merchant.

5.0 out of 5 stars These picks served a dual purpose for grandson Johnny!, December 22, 2007
By Betty L. Dravis "BettyDravis@gmail.com, autho... (Silicon Valley, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Musician's Friend Standard Celluloid Guitar Picks 1 Dozen, Black Pearl Medium¹
I bought these picks shortly after buying my grandson Johnny his very first beginners guitar. I read about them on the guitar page; the price was right and they seemed durable, so I got them for him.

Of course, he used them to pick his guitar, but he also found another use for them. I couldn't suppress a grin when I saw a half-dozen of them on a necklace his girl-friend was wearing. It seems she collects guitar picks, so Johnny went to the music store and purchased some picks in various colors. Then using these black ones as the base color he designed a pretty, colorful necklace for her.

That took me back to my younger days when a young "swain" had made me a cross from popsicle sticks, so I couldn't complain when seeing my grandson's resourcefulness. Kids are certainly creative. And what the heck, I can afford to buy him dozens of these at only $1.99 per dozen.

5.0 out of 5 stars as good as the Fender picks, August 13, 2009
This review is from: Musician's Friend Standard Celluloid Guitar Picks 1 Dozen, Black Pearl Medium¹
I am not a pick snob. Usually just play with the standard Fender or Jim Dunlop picks. Like finding a bargain though and these are as good as those, if you buy in bulk. Some people have talked about the shipping charges being too high. Maybe. It costs something for a guy to actually put them in a box and send them to you though. :)

This is a good "standard" pick. Nice action. If you're like me and always losing picks, get a gross of these and you'll be good for a long time. You'll also save on shipping.
