Those are brand spanking new. I don't know if they have shipped from Dunlop yet.

I've got the Eric Johnson Jazz III's, they are a little bit bigger on the area where you put your thumb. absolutely perfect IMO.

tortex jazz in 1.14 FTW! the superior sound of the 1.14 (Purple) Tortex and the superior control of a Jazz III.

Dude, I love the Tortex myself but I just started playing the Ultex and I like the sharper point. But I hate how they dont have the grippiness too them like a tortex. Then I fourn the Tortex WEDGE! They have a nice almost sharp point to them with a wider top like a normal pick. Great for heavy "feel it" riffs and great for articulation! Awesome stuff!

I use a 1.5 mm Jazz model from Picks and Stones Gemstone Guitar Picks . It's based off the Jazz III but slightly larger and made of brazillian agate.
What's great about the stone pick is that it doesn't give way at all, all the pick momentum is transfered to the string. You can control your dynamics better and it "slides" more easilly from string to string.

Here's my secret weapon:
They wear out too fast, unfortunately, and are somewhat hard to find. But I get way better tone and feel out of these than anything else I've tried. The black Jazz IIIs feel somewhat clunky to me and sound muffled, by comparison.
The Metacarbonates allow me to achieve a great deal of evenness between my picked and hammered notes, which is important when playing in a legato style.

haven't read everything here, so forgive me if i'm rehashing, but.....
i used to use "Cool" picks..... they are white with grip in the middle, that says "Cool."
i know, the lamest thing in the world, but they are amazing..... i even had my own custom pics designed after them..... not saying cool though
when i was at berklee, i used the dunlop aligator 1.14, and would literally sand the pick into something wicked sharp! so, it would be big enough for my comfort, but sharp enough to almost poke out an eye...... you should try it

I have some of those Cool picks and they are awesome!
I've been using the 2.0mm Purple dunlop picks with the turtle on them, but they wear down so fast with how heavy I pick... however, I just found these and want to order some in a bad way:
Btw: Can we ban the douche bag that posted that grotesque picture in the post above mine? That disturbed me.

Check those guys out. They have a "Big Jazzer" shape which is excellent. It's a tad bigger than a standard Jazz III, but not quite the Jazz XL size, either. Picks last FOREVER.

Those Red Bear ones got a great review in Guitar Player. I haven't tried 'em for $20 apiece!

I LIKE JUICE!!!
What's this? Ultex picks with a sharper bevel? I need to look into these. They might save me the trouble of filing down the edges of my Ultex 1.14s like I do currently.

Yep, they're expensive, but they're a really quality product. They've lasted me quite some time now, and sound better than any others I've used. Maybe try out the Tuff-Tone picks. They're made of a different (albeit similar) material that's a little more durable, and only 10$ a pop.
They'll do custom shapes too if they don't already offer something you're in to.

I use good old Dunlop Tortex Sharp 1.0mm. Would never use anything else. They help me get great attack.
