Dunlop Nylon Max Grip Jazz III Stiffo

Been round the boutique block and back again and these guys still rock the block!
Plain they’re great, but bevelled, like the many boutique picks or the classical guitarist nails, then they glide thru strings. Just shredded on a Taylor 414 with 12-53 gauge and they’re great. Les Paul with 11-48s or Ibanez with 9s, either was, they play the day.
One of these will last as long as a gravity acrylic pick or an Ibanez jtc, so for about half a euro, they’re well priced.

Bevelling is worth it, cos it improves playability!

Well done JD, you’re still the best!

I'm not an experienced player but I bought these in addition to a variety pack of more flexible picks after watching a Danny Gatton video where he recommends trying a jazz pick (he says Roy Buchanan suggested this.) It's a lot stiffer than ordinary picks, which means it doesn't flop around or 'give' much when it crosses the string. This helps when playing fast, intricate lines, but has the disadvantage that there is less margin for error. When playing chords the pick will tend to 'hook' the strings if you aren't careful. It forces you to play more precisely. Seems okay to me - the point is to get better, right? But if you are a beginner or want the best pick for playing chords, you might prefer something more flexible. Even so, picks are cheap and beginners should experiment with different options, so you owe it to yourself to get a pack and try them. PS These picks SOUND BETTER to my ears. It's a more cutting sound, seemingly capturing more of the sound of the string and the neck than floppier picks.
