A friend gave me a handful of these a few years ago, I really like them.

I'm trying out a few Jazz III style picks and I'm thinking I'm gonna stick with the JD black ones with my stippling job.

For years it was only the green turtles, but recently I decided I liked the textured picks and switched to Jazz III and really like them.

Lately been buying the M/H variety packs of Dunlop, it's amazing how new shapes, thicknesses, and textures can affect playing style and sound.
If I had to just pick one or two, it's be the .88 Tortex (green) or Jazz III for electric and acoustic. These are nice too:  |

After having used Primetone, Flex and TUSQ picks...I'll never go back to Tortex. At this time, TUSQ has the edge. |

I do keep going back to 1mm and 1.14mm Tortex but lately trying the 2.0mm variety for chugging. I just can't get good attack for leads with a pick that thick. Somehow I never tried the .88. hmm. |

Decided to try something new. Dunlop Adamas Graphite 2mm. These have a really soft attack that I like. Really changes the sound of my 00015m. I recently started using Martin monel retro strings on this guitar and these picks may be a little too soft with these strings. Haven't yet tried them with an electric.

Purple Jazz III are what I'm currently using. Tried a variety of different Tortex pick shapes and the Jazz III kind of stuck as the best all-around shape for me. |

90% of my picks are metal.
Stainless, copper, & brass. The brass ones are probably my favorite but stainless is the ones I have the most of. |

I generally play Dunlop Flow .73. I've recently tried their Gator Grip as well, looking for better grip.
Well, my MIL, being a Sharktank addict saw these and bought me some for my birthday https://www.tikpik.com/ I actually don't hate them. I wouldn't stick them to my guitars but they grip well. |

Okay so to follow up I'm actually really liking the Dunlop JazzIII Max-Grip. The issue I get with my own stippling is that it is too aggressive until it gets worn in a bit, and sometimes I have to shave the stippling back down with a razor blade or hit it on some sandpaper to cut down the edges. These are pretty much ready out of the box but I can tell I'm going to need to replace them more often. When I get sweating pretty good I may need to keep one or two of my old stippled picks on the mic stand for shows but not having to break out the soldering iron is a huge plus.
Also pictured are the Fender Mediums I use for playing acoustic.  EDIT oops forgot pic. |

Best pick I've ever played in my life. After discovering them several years ago, I left behind all other picks for electric guitar. Best tone, best feel, and they last forever. There Can Be Only One. |
