Jim Dunlop Guitar Picks (23478135012)

Nice picks. To be honest, they were smaller than I thought they would be (figure half the size of normal pick), but once I got used to it I found that I had more control of the pick. Also, it did not "spin" as some normal picks I have used in the past to where it was almost playing with it on the side rather than the point of the pick. Very happy with these and they will become my new "go-to" pick for the future. Very durable at .73mm with enough "give", but not too much so that it feels like you are playing with a rock.

Dunlops have been in my guitar maintenance tool box forever and some more won't hurt lol,these picks help you pick faster vs the gator grips I've been using over the past 3 decades

Okay, let's get down to business: the Jim Dunlop 478P.88 Tortex White Jazz III picks have officially taken the top spot as my new favorite guitar picks, and let me tell you, they are not just for jazz aficionados. As someone who dives deep into rock, funk, and pop, I've found these picks to be incredibly versatile and a game-changer for my playing style.First thing's first, the size. These picks are on the smaller side, but don't let that fool you. For someone with big hands like mine, I've discovered that this smaller size actually offers more stability and control, allowing me to dig into grooves with precision and confidence. It's like they've unlocked a new level of agility in my playing.Now, about the material - the Tortex formula Dunlop uses is just fantastic. It provides just the right amount of grip and durability, and the .88mm thickness hits the sweet spot between flexibility and rigidity. Whether I'm laying down some funky rhythms or powering through a pop chorus, these picks respond beautifully, delivering a bright, clear tone that really lets my guitar sing.And let's talk versatility. Despite the "Jazz III" in their name, these picks are absolute beasts across a variety of genres. They've effortlessly adapted to my rock, funk, and pop sessions, proving that they're not pigeonholed into any single style. The sharp tip and stiff body give me the precision I need for fast licks and the durability to keep on strumming through the longest gigs and jam sessions.The 12-pack is also a huge plus. Having a dozen of these bad boys means I'm well-stocked for any session, and I don't have to worry about losing one mid-gig (we've all been there).In short, the Jim Dunlop 478P.88 Tortex White Jazz III picks are a revelation. They've not only improved my playability but have also been a massive boost to my musical expression across genres. If you've got big hands and a love for rock, funk, or pop (or really, any genre), do yourself a favor and give these picks a try. You won't be disappointed.

I'm never using any pick that isn't this one!when I opened to package and saw the size I was concerned, but then I played with one and I had so much more control, and picking ability!if ur looking for a pick u want to use forever use these!

I love the shape of Jazz III picks and the sturdiness. With thicker gauge strings (10-52) you need thicker picks, like these. Thinner picks need more travel since they bend more, which makes quicker precision playing a bit sloppy on heavier strings.They also seem to give me sweeter pinch harmonics on higher frets, around 10th-15th frets specifically, and pickslides (although I don't do them often) seem more consistent.They feel good to hold, and don't slip... Unless you're playing for a while and get sweaty, of course.The only thing I can fault them for, is how small they are. I've used larger Jazz III shaped picks that feel better, but it isn't as much of an issue as to reduce a star, for me personally. I have smaller hands anyway.Overall, these are my go-to favorite picks, in 1.35mm specifically... And I've tried dozens of shapes and sizes throughout my guitar-playing journey.

It's a Jazz III. It's Tortex. If you're looking at these, there's a very good chance you already have a few of the purple ones in your jeans pocket. But these are easier to find if you drop one or sit one on a dark colored desk because they look like they could be made from Imperial Stormtrooper armor. The shape makes for easy, fast attacks. The material has arguably the best feeling string "grab" of any material on earth. The only reason these don't get five stars from me is that they wear out pretty quickly. But for the looks, I'd still choose them over the purple. If durability is your thing, go have a look at the Ultex Jazz III instead.

I have played Fender medium celluloid picks for 20 years. I’ve tried various others but always came back to the fenders. But these Tortex Jazz iii’s in 0.73mm have changed my world.By keeping it the same thickness as my fender mediums I have that same familiar feel of the string response under my hand, but the slightly higher stiffness of the Tortex makes the attack more clear and precise, but still in a very musical way. It’s not harsh, and I still sound like “me”. The tone shift is very slight, which is what I was hoping for.I also find the ergonomics of the Jazz shape to be better for me. It just fits into the bend of my first knuckle on my index finger so it’s not sliding around at all.Finally, because the precision is so good with this pick, I am playing with a speed and fluidity that I’ve never found with my Fenders. That alone is worth it to me. The tone and ergonomics are a wonderful bonus.

They take some getting used to if you’re accustomed to bigger picks, but once you get a grip on them (pun intended), you just get more accurate and they don’t slip as much, because you can feel how little you have to work with.
