Long Lasting/Durable Picks

[troyguitar]

I've never worn out a Jazz III. I still have a few from 2004 that I used regularly until early this year. The only reason I don't use them any more is because I switched over to the Max Grips.

If you want to get into the Acrylic picks I would recommend Gravity picks over V-Picks.

I find them Gripper, cheaper and more consistent from pick to pick.

Plus them come in all kinds of crazy colours.

Another echo for gravity picks. They are light-weight and extremely durable. The razor's have a nice sharp point to them that stay sharp for a very very long time. I went from dunlop nylon's to gravity pick's razors 1.5mm and it took a full year of abuse to wear down the tip to where it was useless. Does not leave plastic shards all over your guitar or shredded plastic all over the pickups after abuse - and i play 11-52's in D with a very heavy right hand.

I never liked Jazz III's, the gravity picks give me something to hold onto. Cant say enough about them - they are worth every penny. A package of 1.5mm's should last many many years.

I tried one of the gravity's first batches and hated it but im tempted to try again

I use these Rock Vibes when I can. If I can't find them, purple tortex is nice, but lacks the tone.

Honestly I don't know how people go through picks so fast. I use Max Grip Jazz III 1mm's and never wear through them. I pick hard too...

Anyways, metal or stone picks may be worth looking into!

You're not playing enough then

I've been using Ernie Ball Delrin picks for a little bit and they seem to hold up much better than tortex or any others ive used so far.

If you're doing it right, you should be losing them before any wear occurs!

I can't hold onto a pick for a phone call, let alone have it wear down.
