Jim Dunlop 486PHV Gels Heavy 12 Player Pack - Red (Pack of 12)

I've tried loads of different plectrums / picks, but have settled on these as I love the bright jangly sound that they produce. I use them on both lead and bass guitars. Each pick lasts me a few months before eventually splitting at the tip. A bag of 12 will last me years. The image shown makes the picks look very transparent, so I was worried these might be fake, but when they arrived they were darker blue and not fake.

I like these picks, although I find the tips wear down quite quickly. I hold my picks so the edge of the pick is hitting the string, so the gauge doesn't really matter and I prefer lighter picks.The gels have a certain attack which I like. They impart a different tone when compared to nylon - not as warm as nylon and a little bit brighter than Tortex. If you want to experiment, and try something new, then I would recommend any of the Gels picks.

I can't play the guitar and these haven't imbued me with magical skills to suddenly turn into Slash overnight, which has made me a little sad. These are pretty solid little pluckers and I'm happy with them though other more seasoned players are probably more qualified to comment on these.

How many picks is enough? (It's a trick question). I like Jim Dunlop picks. These are as good as ever.

nice thickness, feel good in hand

Work well for me

É engraçado como são as coisas da vida. Quando comecei a aprender a tocar violão aos 12 anos de idade, foi a primeira palheta que tive acesso. E lembrava como ela era boa, só que Nunca mais consegui encontrar e comprá-la novamente. Só agora, certa de 23 anos depois, lembrei de procurar nas promoções da Amazon e encontrei num preço que não fosse absurdo. Meus amigos, pra mim são de longe as melhores palhetas do mundo: pegada, material, espessura perfeita (não dobra demais, mas tem uma pequena maleabilidade), é uma palheta que não se desgasta com facilidade e não pega memória como muitas outras... Enfim. Eu sinto que toco bem melhor com essa palheta, é coisa de louco hehe.

I'm one of those players that has to try different guitar picks, and my collection is about 500 various picks that I have collected over the years..of all the brands and types,Fender celluloidPlanet WavesD'Andreacustom imprint picks from online merchantsPickboyand of course Dunlop...everything from jazz 3, Tortex, Delrin 500 to some of the signature models (Petrucci, Hetfield, Andy James, etc...)You know what? I KEEP coming back to the Red Gels (Heavy) picks. To me they are the most secure and comfortable to hold. Some have mentioned that they feel rough around the edges, but after a few days of playing, they round out enough to provide a smooth release...they are just slightly smaller than the typical 351 shape (eg Fender), and to me that makes them a little more comfortable, and from my perspective, they slide off the strings a little smoother than standard celluloid picks.I'd say they flex more (ever so slightly) than a Fender Heavy...but you will only notice this in a side by side comparison, and in my opinion upi need some flex to do certain techniques...For example, I find it much harder to palm mute with a Jazz 3 than with a Std. Heavy pick...but that might just be me.in any case, I tend to use the Gels then another pick suddenly feels better, for a brief time, and then guess what, I end up going back to the Gels.

ne ho fatto scorta.

Awesome product. Just go for it. But just do some research. The pectrum which suits me might not suit you..
