Jim Dunlop Primetone® Triangle Smooth Pick 1.5MM - 3 Pack

Insanely good picks. I play a tele custom into heavy distortion and usually there's lots of chirping in the bridge pickup from my usual flow 1.5mm and these have minimal chirp and are super grippy for a non textured pick. I had no slipping during band practice even with sweat. They're comfy and seem to be holding up nice to very aggressive picking. I love how they came pre tapered on their edges it naturally follows my picking angle. Worth every penny

This is my second favorite pick after my Bluechip. If you know what a Bluechip is, then you know what I’m talking about. I like using hard picks because they give more control and more pinpoint accuracy while playing. This pick is great for picking melodies and strumming chords. Also, there is almost no noise from the pick itself on the string. Some of the large triangle picks make a loud “clicky” sound as it hits the string and rolls off. These are almost silent (Bluechip is quieter). The large size also gives you lots of room to grab and hold on to the pick and some flexibility on how you hold it because there is so much real estate. The pick if very durable and I’m yet to wear one out. I usually destroy a celluloid pick in about a week of solid practicing. I also like the bevel of the tip and the angle. Too wide of a tip makes single line melodies sound muddy. Too pointy makes the tone harsh and slows me down on fast runs. This pick works really well for both acoustic guitar, 12 string guitar, mandolin, and electric guitar. I haven’t tried it on a bass yet but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work on a bass.

Good quality pick for strumming.

Here's the deal, my friend: The Dunlop Primetone pick is about 1/10 the cost of a high-end boutique pick, but the feel and sound are almost comparable. Everything is relative, I guess. The 17-year-old me would never have dreamed of paying $4.00 for a guitar pick! That was decades ago, and back then I played with whatever kind of pick I could find... even cutting some out of old credit cards! But the pick is vital to good tone, and it makes sense to use the best you can afford. Go ahead and pay $40 for a boutique pick if you can. They're worth it. But I'm very happy with these Primetones!

My new favorite guitar pick!

Surprisingly excellent. This pick immediately improved my playing. I'm not exaggerating at all. I also have two BlueChip picks that cost 10X as much: this Dunlap is not quite as good as those, but it's close. Highly recommended.

Going from guitar picks for mandolin to this was a HUGE difference!!! Doesn’t get hung on the strings and it improved my tone!!! Also, way louder!!! I highly recommend these for mandolin!!!

I think people compare these to BlueChips simply because they have a similar appearance. However, they are made from a different material and really have very little in common. I returned them and will stick to my tiny collection of Blue Chips. However, if Blue Chips did not exist, and I only knew cheap picks, I will tell you, these are a radical improvement over those. They also cost a bit more, which might have annoyed people in the past. Most of the cost comes from hand beveling the picks, but frankly, if you play a pick enough, they bevel themselves anyway... So yeah, these are great. They could change your picking entirely, for the better. They are not as good as BlueChips, though, not in feel, not in the way they glide through the strings, not in their durability or sound. It is a small difference, between BlueChip and Primetone, but it is a BIG small difference. The playabliity and glide are also rather large differences.

Nice plectra. I found it great for playing my Mandolin.

フルアコの音を柔らかくする。またコードを弾くにもグリップ部分がギザギザしているのでズレない。高いピックだが、ピックを大切にする様になった。

Fantastic pick for mandolin. Slips on the strings for for fast action and provide great tone and volume. Good on guitar too but a little brittle sounding for softer strumming. Well worth the premium price tag.

Perfetto, il mio mandolino ora ha un fantastico timbro bluegrass
