Matte black with the Jackson bomb logo, I thought I have to give them a try, even if I would not like them - I assumed they would be decent and complement my Soloist well. And I was not let down with them. Usually I play with Tortex and Ultex picks in the 1.0 and 1.14 mm thickness, and this 1.0 Jackson pick is very similar in texture and feel. The shape is the classic 351, so not the very pointy one, the attach is precise and well controlled. The surface does not get worn and shiny quickly, so yo get some pretty good shredding and chugging milage out of them. Overall a great pick, with a funny, not over-designed logo - a nobrainer to have a couple constantly in your pocket and guitar case.
