Jim Dunlop 447PJR1.38 Guitar Picks

Really love these picks. They are expensive but they are brilliant for all my playing styles from Slipknot style heavy shredding to clean and precise melodic riff picking. The custom design is spot on. Traditional shape body with a Jazz III tip and just the right amount of grip exactly where you need it from the offset 4 and 9 point star logos. They are thick but they also have a nice amount of give in them and they do nicely flex a little which is cool for such a heavy gauge pick. Nothing like any other picks this thick that I have used. I am not sure I want to go back to using anything else. Jim Root uses them himself (they featured on his latest Premier Guitar rig rundown vid on YouTube) and has put his name (number) on them as his signature picks and that is all the endorsement I need.

Fantastic plectrums. Took me a while to pull the trigger on these as they are expensive for a pack of 6 however they are great. These are my go to pick for all guitars/genres I had been using jazz 3 xl and still found them a bit small. These are the perfect size (for me) being closer to a tortex and offer a nice sharp edge for flow but a nice size for strumming. Fairly hard wearing and easy to file a new edge if you wanted. The offset star and number four are well placed to give enough grip without restricting ability to move the plectrum about. I’ll certainly buy more once these are done.

I'm not a slipknot fan but I had to try this. If you love a full standar size plectrum then I urge you to try this. The etched logo design helps greatly with grip without being grabby on your fingers. The nylon material is very durable and lasts much longer than ULTEX and tortex for me. The best thing about this plectrum is nylon material paired with that Jazz III tip. The nylon gives a full well rounded EQ which is a perfect base to craft your amp and FX tones on top of. The Jazz III style tip is very durable and allows you to really dig into your strings for super heavy palm muted chords but also there is a buttery smoothness to the nylon which allows it to glide over strings with no drag or catching making fast runs and solos easier to play. Also being nylon it doesn't have the annoying chirp of denser materials. It's pretty much a nylon verion of Hetfield's Black Fang and it's a must try for anyone who uses standard sized plectrums. I really can't see any negatives to it.

Picks feel great to use, solid, with a good sharp guitar tone. My only extremely minor gripe would be that the design/logo isn't as prominant or contrasting as it appears on the listing, although they still provide active grip without feeling abrasive even after extended use

Cant comment too much as im a beginner but I like the feel of them, ive tried quite a few picks and tend to prefer a sturdier, sharper pick and these fit the bill, comfy to hold and dont slip out my hand, good if you like thicker picks

Thanks to James Hetfield's Black Fang picks, I will only use picks that are the standard shape with a sharp point. I got the Jim Root picks to directly compare to the Black Fangs, and I really liked them. Being nylon, there was a bit of burred plastic around the bevel of the pick but nothing some sanding on your jeans won't sort. I think I still prefer the Black Fangs which have a matte finish, but the Jim Roots do make a nice change with their raised logos for grip. I have zero regrets buying them.

I cant make up my mind. I like them and are a pleasant change from the 1.4mm tortex I buy. The tortex provide more mids and bass and have a fuller sound. However these ones feel nicer, and when new slip over the strings better than tortex. I would buy them again but at this price not sure if I can justify it.

I have been using these picks for a couple of months now, my band practices every weekend plus I play a lot during the week, and from the first moment I used them, I knew I will never need to try any other pick again. They are perfect. If you like the Jazz III but find them too small then try these, you will not be dissapointed

Now I know why Root uses them. They wicked. The logo on each side helps holding it too. Does not slip outta your hand.

とても弾き心地が良くなるピックです。本当にJim Rootのシグネチャー製品は質が高い物が多いですね。

Precisissimo e perfetto per il palm muting

Jazz 3 Picks waren mit eher zu klein, dann habe ich dieses Pick probiert und spiele seit über einem Jahr damit. Die "4" und das "Slipknot" Logo sind geprägt und bieten Grip. Anfangs dachte ich es könnte mehr Grip sein, aber man gewöhnt sich schnell daran.

Ideales para tocar metal y tienen una textura antiderrapante única.
