T3-GripEX Samplers Grip Exotic Trilogy Bone/Horn Guitar Picks

I really like these picks. Pros - comfortable and easy to hold. Very secure. And, while tone is subjective, I find that I really like the tone I get. Cons - well, not many. They do wear quickly so just expect that you'll have to replace them from time to time. They're obviously more expensive than most of the picks I've used in the past. This just means that you'll be more motivated to keep track of them. :)Each of the three picks is different (so it is a variety pack), but I like them all.

Restocked my supply; not available in most brick and mortar stores.Easier pick escape for speed picking. The material is extremely smooth and stiff.The tone of picking on a fresh set of heavier Phosphor Bronze strings is unique. True piano clarity, dramatic attack. This is a difference maker on even less expensive guitars; you just need a spruce top, heavier gauge and some right hand effort.The French indentations ( the original design came out of France within the Gypsy Jazz community, I think) make it easier to hold the pick lightly. After using regularly, the skill of holding the pick with a lighter touch does transfer to standard picks with the effect of better picking accuracy. These are righthanded.Negative: Not all the picks are polished to a sharp point. I have bought three packs so far; true for all.

The finishing steps were better than the larger pack of similar picks that cost less from another seller. You get what you pay for, I really like these especially the amber horn.

I've always had problems with the flat plastic picks "turning" in my fingers since I prefer a more relaxed grip when I'm playing. The 'finger indent' on the back of these picks solves that problem. If you're not used to playing with with a heavy, stiff pick - you might want to look elsewhere. I started using heavier picks after reading an interview with Frank Zappa. Stiffer picks retain their shape as opposed to thin picks that take a micro second to snap back. And they don't get any stiffer than these!

Normally not a fan of picks that are these dimensions, but these feel and sound great. Ordered another set for a friend and one more for myself.

These pick are comfortable in the hand and produces a more punchy twangy sound. Great for single note playing or when you need a high treble output and volume.

The picks are novel and cool to have as conversation item. Unfortunately they are unuseable as they come from the package. The bevel of the edge makes a lot of noise especially on wound strings . I have been able, with sanding and polishing, to get rid of the noise on the horn pick. I will also work on the other two.On a positive note, the depressions ground into the picks on the front and back make for a very comfortable grip.

The best picks, EVER. Ordered on a whim and thought they would be nice for something different. These are now my go to picks. They re so comfortable, just the right thickness, they have a "divot" on one side for your thumb and a perfectly placed and angled finger width indent running across the back. Plastic picks are thin and hard to hold onto and have that annoying slap, slap, slap on the strings. Not these babies. No picks flipping out of your fingers while you shred. Totally love these and very highly recommend them. The hard part will be hiding them from your buddies once they try them out.
