Ok...so I recently purchased a Les Paul with Classic '57's installed. I run it through an Analog Man TS9/808 silver mod, to AnalogMan Boss DS1 pro mod (which really provides some nice, warm, and creamy classic rock lead tones when run AFTER the TS9), finally into a '65 Twin Reverb RI. Sounds like a great recipe for some beautiful guitar tones, right? Well...I must admit that I was REALLY disappointed withthe Les Paul's performance as far as tone is concerned. I couldn't seem to get any clear and sharp notes from the neck pickup without cranking the treble on the amp, in turn making the treble pick up virtually unusable and my overdrive pedals sounding thin and papery...every note I played seemed flat and rounded. I tried altering my pick attack, as I'm a newbie to the Les Paul world, but to no avail. I finally reached the point of listing my '65 Twin Reverb on craigslist.com in hopes of getting money for something "more suitable" for those beautiful Les Paul tones that I love (ala Dickey Betts in the Allman Bros. days, Peter Green, Mike Bloomfield). But then I stumbled upon this Dunlop Stubby 3mm pick....literally...I actually stepped on it in the back corner of a stage at an outdoor venue my band recently played. I picked it up and put it in my pocket, and didn't think about it again until today when I found it in my guitar case. I thought "Eh...let me just see what this thing feels like.". Notice I said "feels like" and not "sounds like". I certainly was not expecting the difference in tone and clarity that this pick provided. It instantly provided that clear and glassy tone (both clean and overdriven) that I've been fretting over since I've owned my Les Paul. I was previously using the old faithful Dunlop Tortex 1.14 picks, and I could not be happier that I gave this thing a shot. I will be a user of this pick for life.

.Small Lexan pick. Flex is just right. Great for pinch harmonics.

I picked one up at my local guitar shop (I always get new picks when I go in for exactly this reason) and loved the way it sounded on my acoustic.

At first I thought it was plastic so I was really surprised - they're nylon. A bit harder attack than the tortex I usually use (much softer than plastic).

They do have some 'give' to them, so if you're looking for a 'shreddy' pick, this probably won't work for you. For me, it's just enough to let me strum steady rhythms and play single note lines.

I don't know how fast they'll wear out, but at 2 dozen a bag I'm not worried about it. I keep an extra in the little pocket of my baseball cap along with a few others.

My 1.0 teardrop tortex are still my 'go to' pick, but these are starting to get a lot of use on my electric as well. Different songs need different sounds.

.Nice sound & control. Easy to hold on to.

.I use this pick every time I pick up my mandolin. It is the perfect thickness for me and helps when I am picking. The only problem is that since its a thinner pick it wears out quicker than a normal pick. Other than that I love it.

.I have 2.0mm Big stubby's -these 1.0mm are jazz style and significantly smaller and thinner - Lexan makes the clearest sound I've heard so far but the big stubby's ring out better than these thin ones.

.Fast, smooth picking, positive solid but lite grip.

.These picks allow for you to hold it very close to the tip, which I like. It allows for me to play faster and also makes it easier to pick out notes. Overall, it's a great pick.

.I love these picks. Most picks deform as you pluck the string. The deformation makes speed picking less controllable. These picks do not deform at all. They also have a smooth release. The only down side is you can hear a little "tink" as the pick touches the string. Outside of a stone pick (which have a loud "tink" when you touch the string) these are the best for speed picking. I use Fender 358's when I want tone and these when I want speed. Ok, I use the stone pick when I want maximum speed, but a stone pick is very expensive; I don't want to lose one at a bar gig. Try it you'll like it.
