Jackson branded picks....

[xenophobe]

I thought they'd be a gimmick. They're actually quite decent. I bought some of the 1mm and I really like them. Very soft attack, very buttery... but they don't feel like very soft picks, maybe about the same as a tortex. They have a rubberized feel to them even though they're not rubberized. They're not going to replace my Ultex 1mm's but it's really amazing how different they sound. I think they compliment each other very well. Anyone else like them?

I agree, I bought some last year off Music123 in the 1.14mm and I love them. I bought them thinking the same thing, "I know im a schmuck for ordering them but..." and I like them.

[xenophobe]

Wow, nobody else has tried these?

[MetalHeadMat]

Didn't know they existed... I wonder if they make 3mm full size or jazz picks..

[Force]

Ive never seen 'em either...........I must have them mwuhahahaha

I usually use Dunlop 0.73

[xenophobe]

I usually use Ultex 1mm, various Tortex, Gator Grips, etc...

These Jackson picks are really different. More for shredding than rhythm...

xenophobe do you use these:

or these:

I was trying to find Ultex sharp a long ago but didn't see them at where I was searching, does anyone know if these are still on sale?

[Scooter]

They still make them as far as I know, I use the 1.14 sharp.
Didn't know about Jackson picks, I will get some to try.

[straycat]

I would try them in the 1.14 but that is still pretty thin a pick for me.
I use a V pick 2.75 most of the time.I have one that is 4.10.(not in pic)

They look like tortex gator grips.

You guys are making me feel like a fairy for using .7 picks.

I had some of these. I switched to them from Fender Mediums which I had used for years, I wanted something with more grip. The fact they said "Jackson" on them had little to do with my choice, in fact I didn't even own a Jackson guitar at the time. I only used em for a couple of months though before I fell in love with Jazz IIIs.

They're decent picks, but the attack was always a bit soft for my tastes.

I use the standard Ultex 1mm's. Like the 2nd picture. The Sharp are tapered and I don't like tapered picks. They still make both types.

They look like tortex gator grips.

Gator grips are matte textured tortex picks that have rounded edges. Jackson picks feel like the rubber coating on a phone or the Kindle Fire, for example... It's not plasticized rubber or rubberized plastic, but it feels like it. Very soft attack, rounded edges, but they're still quite firm.

I like them, they make running scales faster, but they have a really soft attack, so they're not great for rhythm.

Same here... I can't imagine playing with one of those V-Picks.
