    What picks do you use?

    I'm all about the Ultex 1.0

    http://www.jimdunlop.com/products/pi...tex/index.html

    The material is a little harder than regular picks, brighter and more attack without having to actually attack the string, if you know what I mean.
    My Guitars:
    Taylor 914c Martin J41S PRS Archtop R8 Historic 56' Relic Strat

    I use thick metal picks, and sometimes thick plastic ones. Im not too picky about brand, as long as they are unbendable...........

    Red Dunlop Jazz III's are the way to go. And for acoustic I use whatever I have lying around, generally Dunlop matchpiks, .80 I guess.

    Amen. The reds are better than the blacks, they feel so weird to me.

    If I know your uncle, they're at least strippers.

    Usually Dunlop Gator Grips (or whatever they're called), .78 (or whatever - the lighter purple ones) or Dunlop nylon 1.00. Lately though I've been using those Dava hybrid picks.

    I make my own picks from Coconut shell, aluminum, brass, silver(from a 1964 silver dollar), ebony, rosewood, plexi glass, and bone. Basically I copy dugains $10 picks :D

    Takes me 2-3 hours to make 1..I'll post picks as soon as I get my camera back:(
