This pick is insane, but it works

Picked (pun intended) up one of these on the recommendation of several musician friends. It's 8.85mm at the thickest but tapers beautifully to the tips. I'm using it a little each day as an exercise in picking touch and accuracy: you gotta be bang on or the thick parts get ya. I don't know if anyone actually uses one of these monsters in actual performances but as a training tool it's working quite well for me as I work soloing and focused picking chops. Long way to go but a fun journey. :side:

Man, Vpicks are infamous! They have really clean glassy tone. But personally I prefer Wegen picks. They are boutique picks made in Holland and not only do they never wear down, but they have incredible grip and are made for acoustic players. Anybody looking for a super comfortable pick and great tone should check them out!

Cool, I'll check that out, Max. Thanks for the tip!

For actual playing I generally use DAVA picks but I'm never averse to exploring new ideas. :side:

No problem! I could never get used to Dava picks, for most cases I use a Dunlop Jazz III XL Ultex
