Dunlop Tortex Jazz Pick M3

I've heard many good reviews about the tortex picks and they all live up to the praise and hype they get.

Pros:
- Very strong and resilient, despite how thin they are + how much you chug away.
- The reasonably sharp point allows you to play a little softer whilst still having great attack when you strike a string.
- These picks have a good texture to them and haven't slipped out of my fingers so far!

Cons:
- These kinds of picks aren't for everybody
- Depending on your experience with picks, the size and thickness may be harder to adjust to if you're used to playing with thicker and less-pointy picks, it'll take some time to get used to (especially in my case)

I'm no expert with guitar or picks, but honestly I'm very satisfied with my purchase. Would totally recommend this for anyone looking to try out different picks!

One rule i have been trying to use when choosing instruments or musical accessories is to try and find out who are my favorite sounding musicians and what do they use. This was the case when i ordered these picks. A Jazz and Americana guitarist whose work i love has been using mainly these picks for years. I ordered them convinced that they would probably not work for me (i usually tend to use more flexible picks), Boy was i wrong!
Although these are not ideal for strumming, what a tone you get with these - be it in a Strat, Tele, Archtop...

Pros: Great Tone, perfect grip
Cons: None

I've been around the block with picks. Bought so many styles and materials. From stainless steel to boutique plastics, this is the one I keep coming back to.

Pros:
Thin but very little flex. It almost feels like you're picking too quickly switching from thicker picks to this one at .88mm when I was used to 1.5mm and thicker.
The jazz 3 shape makes it easy to pick precisely and neatly.
Because of the material and thinness it sounds great on an acoustic and when strumming. It doesn't sound dead like a thick pick.

Cons:
The wear on it. The tip will shred down quickly if you're like me and you dig in. It also does not like pick slides that much and the sides can get worn in.

This is a great plectrum with a matte finish that makes it easy to hold onto. Its a useful all-rounder plectrum for playing any style from rock to jazz, country to pop. Its very sturdy and doesn't bend at all when hitting the strings, so probably better for single line solo work than more singer songwriter strumming of chords. The firmness of the plastic provides a tight attack which is very useful for playing rhythmic passages and improving time feel with more precision. The bright green colour makes it easy to identify and find if it is dropped at any point. But I don't drop this plectrum very often because the surface seems to cling to the index and thumb very efficiently.

I use these picks on a variety of string gauges on my fenders (thinnest 10-46, fattest 15-64) and they perform brilliantly. Grip is tremendously good, I don't know when was the last time one slip out of my fingers, even though I slam the strings like an idiot. Maybe that's the reason they get abraised a bit sooner than i would like to. But then again other picks i used got worn out even quicker. I've lost them more than i have destroyed that's for sure.

Build Quality is great and consistent, no problems whatsoever, though the dunlop logo gets erased from them quite fast.
