Precision Pick Mini

I gotta admit, these picks are really good! They're drop forged plastic of some kind, but they are tough, pointy and bright. I've dropped them a efw times and had no problems finding them. The Jazz III shape works for me, they're smaller than the normal pick, and the point makes it easy to strum and play. The grip works well on the, too! I wasn't expecting them to be this good, honestly, but these are good picks! I'll be buying some more if I ever lose these.

The best pick I've ever used.... EVER! Trying to build speed for years, I was introduced to the Eric Johnson Jazz III... I used them for years.... Awesome pick but it was missing something.... The sharpest edge possible... Man, I finally found these and I'm so glad I did. It's basically a Jazz III with a super sharp edge. Thickness, size, and edge and absolutely perfect!

In 31 years of playing guitar, this has become my favorite pick. I started playing guitar in the mid-90s (elder millenial) using normal picks, before my playing transitioned into learning legato, speed techniques, sweeping, etc by the early aughts when I moved over to Dunlop Tortex Sharps. These were my go to picks, especially as I learned economy picking. Later on, I would play around with thumb picks for hybrid picking (and of course, no picks when I properly learned walking blues finger style). At this point I moved to Dunlop Micro Stubbys before switching to a variety of Dunlop Jazz IIIs (the green one is a Kirk Hammett model). Then I tried the Acoustik Attak Stealth IIIs when those came out and they became my go-to... until I realized 1) how quickly the tips wear away and 2) how you can only order them in bulk from the company (Amazon only stocks smaller packs) and their shipping is atrocious (I had orders where I got half of what I asked for and they always take weeks to arrive). This led me to the Ernie Ball Prodigy Micros, which were almost perfect save that they run about $2 a pop and while they have a tacky feel, they don't have any grip. I was looking for an alternative and ordered a set of these when after jamming with a friend, he offered me some Dunlop Mick Thomson picks he had laying around, which he found too small. These quickly became my go to picks almost overnight UNTIL the Precision Pick Minis showed up! Long story short, these are very similar to the Mick Thomson picks only a bit more durable and a wee bit thicker. Pros: for economy picking, string skip runs, etc I think these are the cat's pajamas. The tips seem to hold up much better than the Acoustik Attak ones (misspelling that name makes my eye twitch). They're a better value, IMHO, than the Mick Thomsons though they are very similar (also I couldn't name a Slipknot song). Cons: the printed grip seems to pick up dirt pretty readily (see the second image). I don't actually care that much, but other reviewers are correct. In summary: I cut my teeth on "technical" style shred guitar and even though I play a myriad of styles, I still prefer a small, easy to grip, stiff pick with a sharp point. I rely on hand technique for tremolo picking over switching to another pick and often palm picks whilst two handed tapping or playing fingerstyle. I play all manner of guitars from acoustics to baritones with the same pick. If any of that sounds like you, these picks are the dog's bollocks. Wow, that's two animal idioms in one review! Such the bargain.

I guess I didn't realize just how "mini" these were going to be. This isn't the size for me, but Dan's picks always have great quality and grip. I love how sharp they are for precise picking and the thickness feels good. If you like your fingers close to the strings or if you have small hands, these are the picks for you.

Picks are very precise, there's a little bit of extra material left around them, usually on the tips, but some (top of the photo) have strands of plastic still stuck to them. These should be simple enough to remove but for the premium they shouldn't be there imo. Still giving 5 stars because of how amazing they feel, I cannot understate how much better these are than the 2.0mm Dunlop flows, the 2.0mm Ernie Ball Prodigy, and the 1.35mm Dunlop Tortex Jazz IIIs I have been using are. Another gripe I have, they taste bad. I don't expect them to taste great, but Jazz IIIs don't have a taste, neither does the Dunlop Flow. "Don't put your picks in your mouth" What are you, a cop? where is it supposed to go when I switch to fingers?

I've been playing guitar going on 15 years and I have now been using Dan's picks for 3 years. In the past 3 years, I try to use other similar picks and I keep coming back to Dan's. These picks sound better acoustically than anything else, are super durable, have the best dimensions, and pretty good grip. The only thing I would change is making them even more "grippy". With that said, the dimensions of the green "mini" is still the best. I only wish he would make them in different colors like pink because the pink is so easy to find if I misplace my pick. Dan if you read this... please make the mini in pink! The beveled edge is simply unparalleled. Other picks are either to slim or too wide at the apex of the point. Dan's picks have the PERFECT angle. They make me play just a couple percent better! I play mostly lead and fast single note rhythm metal for reference. I started with the generic Fender picks, moved onto the Jazz III, then went to Dunlop Flow, , Then Ernie Ball Prodigy, and now my search is over. I love them so much that I try to keep buying packs of them so I will never run out even 20 years from now if Dan decides to not make them anymore! I also emailed the man himself a while back because he wasn't selling the pink ones in the US. He let me buy them directly from him! Talk about making the customer happy! With that said, the dimensions of the green "mini" is still the best. I only wish he would make them in different colors like pink because the pink is so easy to find if I misplace my pick. Dan if you read this... please make the mini in pink!

I've played guitar for 30+ years and always searching for the perfect pick! I think this is it. It has the pointy bit of a sharp, the small of a jazz iii, it has the grip of a max grip, and the beveles of the earnie ball prodigy. If they do an actual sharp in this size, it would be the ultimate pick. But, that being said, it's still the best I've used! Thanks for a great product!

These picks are great. If you like the size of kirk hammett's picks then you'll love these. High vis so when they fall or you're looking for a pick you can find them fast. Looks like they'll last awhile too which is a plus. Amazing grip as well.
