Agree with you bro!The pick is smooth to use and gives you clear fast single note picking. its also good for strumming despite the thickness where peoples always stays with thinner picks for strumming.

the three edges pick can help us saving from buying the new ones. One of my friends also use this types of picks.

I'm very selective about my picks also! I use .58 or .60 mm for the styles of music that I play, which is country, light rock, jazz, Tejano, rhythm and blues, and blues!
Certain types of picks I don't like and those are the soft nylon, that don't have any flick to them! I have to have Delrin, or the old plastic ones!
I play acoustic, electric, and bass, and a lot of the times, I use my fingernails as picks, depending on where and what I am playing!

Usually, I only use one pick, but I keep my little case handy, on top of my amp, in case I break one or drop it!
I also use light colored picks when playing in a dark place with a dark floor, so I can find it easy if I drop it, and when there is a white floor, I use a dark pick to see it easier if I drop it!
Right now I'm trying to look for some fluorescent ones that would be easy to see in the dark, I play a lot of dark places!

Isee.. Colors also play an important role when you're playing gigs..

How about when you're playing gigs, did you use one type of picks for rest of the gig or change it to suit your playing style?

I play my acoustic plugged in and I use the Dunlap Fins .43mm and pull and push the pick up and down the strings and it makes it sound almost like a twelve string. It's versatile and I often use the pointing end for the few lead licks I do.....

I have not try that pick. Yup, most picks for acoustics usually below 1.00mm thickness.

Jim Dunlop Jazz III picks are one of the best especially for shredding!
