Really comfortable picks, last long too!

Dunlop Copper picks (Hot Licks), 008s or 009s. Great picks, never break them, nice controlled attack. I've been using them for years, I can never use plastic again.

Tortex 0.73's. I have tried a ton, thicker when I played more metal, thinner when I played more not-metal. I always love the response I get with the yellow ones.

My favourite are the Jim Dunlop 3mm's. However, most of the time I find myself using the Dunlop X-H ones.

I usually play Dunlop Gator picks 0.88 or something like that.

I ordered some wooden picks once (www.woodenpicks.com) and they were really good - they're thin (around 1.0 I'd say) unlike most wooden picks I've seen which are sooo thick that I can't use 'em. Expensive, though.

Here are some of the picks I make, the first one is from a 1964 silver dollar, next is aluminum, brass, coconut,plexi-glass and ebony. I make them from alot of other materials, these are just some of the ones I have lying around, my guitar playing buddy's are constantly scooping them away from me :D

i like the JD nylon .88 - 1 works for me.. great action.. they last.. ive had old peavy picks that are now stubbs lol.. and the JD big stubbys dont cut it for me.. might as well use a breadtag

I hear you on those Ultex, Jeff. I had been using Tortex .73's for a while, and read about the Ultex on the FDP. Haven't decided between the 1.0 and the .73 yet. I know what you mean about the attack - I was really surprised by the difference.
