Members Chris Loeffler Posted August 14, 2017 Members Share Posted August 14, 2017 http://www.harmonycentral.com/expert-reviews/v-picks-acrylic-guitar-plectrum-round-up I was more than a little surprised how quickly I bonded with the Euro and Fusion.

Members Grant Harding Posted August 17, 2017 Members Share Posted August 17, 2017 Artist signature picks? These look like they have a LOT of marketing hype behind them. I don't have a pick problem (Dunlop Ultex sound the best IMO), but if I develop one I'll think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 1001gear Posted August 17, 2017 Members Share Posted August 17, 2017 I use Clayton Acetal 1.52s. They have a very warm attack and are grippy, wet. Have difficulty picking fast but that's a technical problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members humbuckerstrat Posted August 17, 2017 Members Share Posted August 17, 2017 I've used a lot of V-Picks, the last one being a Snake with a "Ghost Rim" or unbuffed edge. I liked their tone and feel a lot, but found that they're not so good for speed-strumming octaves. I needed a pick with a little more flex than what a 4.10mm Snake had. Also, one of my favorite guitars that I own is a Strat-type with a single humbucker in the bridge position, and I found out that the Snake would make a loud clanging noise when it would bang against the pickguard when I picked with it. Right now I'm using an .88mm Brain pick. It has a good grip, is also good for strumming, and it doesn't make a clanging noise against my pickguard.

Members r0bo01 Posted August 18, 2017 Members Share Posted August 18, 2017 been using them for several years, also ended up with the snake pointed (4 mm, tho the vinni graphic is gone...). tremolo picking needs less of a grip (allows the snake to "rock" back and forth in the fingers a little) and an overall lighter touch. i stopped using the ghost rims after seeing them worn smooth after (say) 7 or 8 sessions. definitely takes less force to get the same volume and/or pinches, etc... if you like them, you like them. if not... ain't life grand? update: now i'm lovin' the psycho smokey mt. (5.85 mm!)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
