Dunlop Jazz III Nylon Sharp Red 6PC

They do not have the most secure of grips, their points wear off faster than those on some of their counterparts, and what I dislike the most about these picks is that they often have molding marks around the perimeter. Sure, they can always be removed by rubbing the edges of the picks across the carpet, but Dunlop could have polished them in the factory. However, despite all of the flaws, they are still my favorite picks. Nylon has a distinct tonal quality, and if you like what it does to the tone, there is no other choice but to accept the disadvantages of this material. And if you are worried about the slightly smaller size of these picks, I can say that it did not take long for me to adjust to it. Unless you have very large hands, you should not have any problems. Personally, I found that their slightly smaller size forced me to concentrate more on my picking precision and thus made me a slightly better player.

so ive always used big picks, being a metal guitarist playing pantera, metallica, lamb of god, iron maiden, megadeth etc etc, and big picks wer great for this, then i watched a video with triviums singer matt heafy talkin about these small picks and then seen another video with kirk hammett saying matt heafy got him switched onto these so thought id give it a try..............LET ME JUST SAY i will never go back to using a bigger plectrum, you get such a better feel with these, takes a while to get use to but once youve played with them for a while i gaurente you will ever look back, its helped me play ALOT faster and i can get more power into my playing aswell, after trying out 10-20 different pick sizes and makes etc etc i will now be using these for life i can gaurentee!!!

After trying a lot of different picks made from various materials, I have finally returned to using red Dunlop Jazz IIIs. To me, they have the best balance of comfort, durability and tone. Due to the small size, however, they might initially be difficult to play with, but once you get used to them, you will probably never want to use another pick. I only wish the quality was a little better... Unlike the Jazz IIIs I bought a few years ago, these had injection molding marks all around the perimeter of the pick. I didn't want to wait until they wear off with use so I took a glass nail file and carefully polished the edges. If left unpolished, the marks usually produce an unpleasant sound that can be heard acoustically and through the amplifier.

I bought these as I previously owned the black jazz III which are great but sometimes hard to see when left on a black amplifier. These picks are good. I like that they are small and really encourage fast playing. It takes a bit of time to get used to these picks, especially for rhythm playing, but now I don't think I'll ever change to something else. I initially thought that the only difference with the black one is the colour but after I purchased the red Jazz III I realized that they are a bit different. It feels like they are a bit sharper and have more percussive attack on the strings. I still use them but I prefer the black ones.
