Dunlop Primetone Semi-Round 1.3mm Sculpted Plectra (Grip) - 3 Pack Guitar Picks (514P1.30)

This pick has the best warmth I have ever heard from a pick. It is also easy to hold and with the rounded edge, it makes an amazing strummer! In fact, that is what I am using it for. When I play rhythm this is my go to. The texture of this pick makes it slide right off the strings.HOWEVER, if you already have a dark sounding guitar, this might not cut through the mix when you are playing lead. It really depends on the construction of the guitar and the string gauge you choose. This would make an awesome pick for a Taylor guitar that needs a little warming up. In my case I have rosewood sides and back and this seems almost too warm at times for playing lead. Unless, you are only on the higher strings.It is definitely, a great pick to have in your bag! It is solidly in the professional pick category.

I've been on a quest for quite a while to find a user friendly pick for the beginner mandolin player. I think I've found it here. Comfortable to hold without to tight of a grip, allowing me to loosen up my wrist and able to achieve a decent tremolo. I also really enjoy the tone.

The shape makes these perfect for strumming mandolin strings, giving it a warmer, fuller sound than I get with sharper guitar picks.I got a pack of these when I first got my mandolin about 8 years ago, and finally lost the last one a few months ago; I bought another pack and they're still quality. Love them!

These are a bit pricey. They're cut a certain way to give them a curved edge. They feel different from other guitar picks.

Since I purchased my first one over a year ago, I come to grow very fond of these picks. They're solid, and extraordinarily well designed. They're tough. Seriously, the one I've been using most will probably outlast me. The first ones I bought looked beautiful, gloss finish, with embossed imprint to aid gripping, and almost tortoise shell like in appearance. I had been using standard picks for years, and had grown accustomed to the Herco Flex 75's. The Primetone 1.3mm played entirely different than any pick I've used previously. Enough of a change that I almost tossed them. Something told me to stick it out and give them a good road test. Well after about a week, my hand motion adjusted to the shape of the pick and the curved/finished corners. Next thing I knew, my licks were picking up speed and efficiency, and the contacts were clean and clear. To be clear, I play guitar and mandolin. In a nutshell, my technique became more efficient in almost every respect. They've become my go-to pick of choice. Now, most recently, there's a wrinkle. The design has been modified slightly. No longer the slick looking gloss finish. The good folks at Dunlop decided to go with a matte finish. Well ... before, these puppies were flawless; now they're not. They're still great picks, but the ones with the matte finish just don't feel as good in the hand, and it crosses over into to the sound. C'mon fellas, why mess with perfection?

Great pick for mandolin rhythm. Picking, as well

Great picks for playing mandolin. In a market flooded with boutique picks at $35 or more each, it’s great to have Dunlop hand finished picks at less than $2 a plectrum. Very reliable, comfortable, “grippy” & a great tone.

I've been using the Delrin triangle (of various density and maker) picks for years, with the corners Dremeled down. I usually kept a few of these Primetone semi rounds for late night quieter practice. A year or so ago I bought a Yamaha LS-16 (rosewood, A.R.E. spruce top, OOO body) for gigging. Very nice guitar for the price. It was a little bright, and I kept moving up to a heavier delrin pick to mellow. For the heck of it I started using the Primetones on the Yamaha, and it seemed to transform the guitar. I was also starting to have a heck of a time hanging on to the delrins. The raised lettering on the Primetones have eliminated that issue. And, they just don't seem to wear out. I'd say they're well worth the price.
