I use the XH (1.2mm) yellow picks. They are indestructible. When I do quick picking shreds like Zakk Wylde licks, these picks stand up strong. In contrast, when I use Fender "California Clear" Heavy picks, they form grooves in the plastic, and the tip wears down very quickly. In about an hour of shredding the Fender pick will wear down, but the these Dunlop XH picks have lasted me for months without getting any grooves. Superior durability.

.i bought a dozen over a year ago (XH yellow) and have yet to see a "splintered" effect. they just wear like normal picks. smooth sound, great grip (better for me than the textured nylons even). i play them on electric, nylon and steel acoustic. i have no problem playing very aggressively on the steel acoustic either. i am very happy with these picks.

.I've used this pick for going on two years. I tend to abuse, lose and chew on my picks and of all the ones I have, these have held out the best. The tones I get with these picks are cleaner and brighter than with others, even within the Dunlop brand, and the picks just feel better in my hand. I've used them with both acoustic (Ibanez) and electric (Fender Stratocaster) guitars, and love that I can use the same pick without it snapping or sounding tinny.

.These picks are among my favorites. Easy to hold on to, great tone, easy to see if they fall on the floor. The light and medium/light (blue & green) in particular are not as durable as some other picks, but they do sound better than most. I like a pick that sounds clear & crisp and not muffled. I don't want a pick where the bass sounds muddy and these provide the tone I want. I like these much better than any other pick. The only other picks I really like as well are the Dunlop Ultex.

.Dunlop never lets me down. These picks are great. They have a different kinda feel and with the X-Heavy it gives such a deep powerful sound. They look cool and the gel texture gives it great grip and feels nice.

.I found one in my stash and I vaporized it down by a good 1/4" after only 10 minutes on Power Slinkys. It made me feel like I was Dick Dale. Might be ok for melodies, but if you're rockin' some chords, you're going to waste your money.

.I like the M-L picks (the lime green ones). they have the right strength + flexibility. they don't slip out of my hand much, but I can do one day of hard playing and wear a groove in or totally round out the tip. but these don't get notches in them from sliding your pick down the strings. these are pretty good picks, but I think i'm gonna go to tortex ones.

.Excellent product that I would highly recommend.
My challenge was I wanted a thicker pick so you don't get that flex while playing which makes playing articulate difficult. But other thick picks have that rounded edge which deadens/muddies up the sound. I also like the traditional larger pick size of Fender. The Gel solved my problems. I play the heavy to extra heavy versions but can still get that crisp ring and harmonics of a thinner pick when I need it - especially with distortion. But you also get the bass too. The other advantage of these picks for me is that they make playing effortless especially when playing fast. I play fairly light so I don't have the wear issues on these. Great product. If you use the sides of this pick - you won't believe how fast you can play - it will be your fretting hand that will have to keep up. These picks changed my playing for the better.

.These are great picks (well, the green medium light ones anyways). I picks feel comfortable in my fingers and sound great when I strum and pick. A down side is that the tips get worn out and dull fairly quickly. And also, sweaty hands or excessively dry ones will give you trouble. But it doesn't interfere with my playing too much. Just need to grip it a little tighter. I would definitely recommend you get these picks if you want a good tone with reasonable control.

.I'm happy with the picks.. i just wish Custom Guitar's Friend would have taken the 15% off... I guess I had to put in a "code" or something. 'just seems to me if you're going to give a sale, you should just do it! and not make people jump through hoops to get the discount. I know, it was probably just a buck and some change that I missed saving. It's not the money, it's the principle! what if I had spent considerably more??? just very irritating
