Literally the best picks I’ve ever used on electric (haven’t tried them with acoustic yet. These are the large triangle version, in case anyone is uncertain. (I mistakenly bought the smaller triangles, which are great, but a little small for my liking.) I’ve pretty much tried every big triangle pick like this out there - the Dunlop Big Stubby (2mm), Gravity Picks Stealth XL (1,2, 3mm), Blue Chip TAD (1.4mm), and the Dunlop Primetone smooth version (1.4mm). This pick has the ideal combination of tone, grip, size and texture - great attack and speed, too. If you do a lot of tremolo, hybrid picking and generally switch techniques while playing, then your money is definitely well spent here.

I use these Dunlops (1.5 thickness) with all three of my mandolins. They are on the stiff side, which I like, and get a consistently good tone. The grip is great--I haven't had one go flying off yet.

I love these picks for playing mandolin. I have purchased several times and will purchase again.

Okay, fellow Amazon shopper... if you are just beginning your adventure with guitar or mandolin, you will be shocked to learn that some folks pay $35 or more for a single guitar pick. (Blue Chip and Tone Slab are two of the popular high-dollar options, and they truly are phenomenal quality. Go buy one of those when you turn pro.)The Jim Dunlop Primetone family of picks offers a variety of shapes, sizes, and thicknesses. I like this shape and thickness for my mandolin. The edges are nicely beveled for smooth action against the strings, and the thickness allows the sound to come from the strings rather than from the pick flopping around.You might also like the Golden Gate "Clown Barf" picks. They are equally nice sounding, and they don't hide in the bottom of your instrument case!Blue Chip and Tone Slab picks definitely have their place, but if you are on a budget (who's not these days?) the Primetone and Golden Gate picks are excellent alternatives for a FRACTION of the price.

he is getting into playing bluegrass and these guitar picks give him perfect accuracy and a good hold. he said he can feel the vibration in the pick…it’s says on the package you can feel the difference. he liked that it was hand burnished with a signature. definitely no going back with these picks they take the guitar to a new sound and accuracy

I'm very happy with the quality of the pics, especially for the price. Added volume and tone to my acoustic playing. These were the 1.5mm, have since ordered the 1.4mm to check out the difference in sound. I purchased a Dragon Heart Pure pick after hearing someone rave about them. Total cost for one Dragon Heart was around $23.50, its going back in the mail today for a refund as it performed poorly compared to these Dunlops which were 3 for $16.12 total. The 1.4mm I ordered are $13.90 total for 3

I like the feel/grip and sound of the picks. They definitely catch and release the strings more predictably than most. The sound is mellow and fairly dark. For my taste they’re great for rhythm playing but when playing melodies they don’t produce a clean cutting tone. For most types of playing they’re great, particularly at their price point. For those looking for a Blue Chip-like pick these aren’t them. If I want a clear clean tone and a pick that allows me to play faster and smoother than any other pick I’ll always grab my TAD40 or 50 and leave the Primetones at home."For those looking for a Blue Chip-like pick these aren’t them." OK, so I may very well be wrong. I just got done playing a bluegrass set on my D-18 with a new set of Martin Retro Bluegrass strings using a 1.4mm version of this pick - the guitar sounded amazing and keeping tempo was no more effort than a BC pick. Depending on a person's taste and gear setup, the Primetone may meet all your needs. Clearly at a more budget friendly price too!

(This applies to bluegrass/old-time/fiddle tunes, etc. on a Martin.) I like the engraved logo grip. It slips much less than my Fender heavy picks (which I've used for a decade or two.) The triangle shape is too large for me, The 1.5mm is too thick. (I've just ordered a standard shape of the same type (Primetone sculpted), 1mm thick, to try that.)

J'ai pris ces médiators pour ma mandoline, en fait je me suis trompé, je voulais bien un "Primetone" en 1.5, mais c'était pour comparer à mon 1.3, qui lui est un "small triangle", bon, ce n'est pas grave celui-ci est juste un peu plus grand mais c'est la même matière et le même profil, et ça marche bien sur mes mandolines.Il a un son un peu moins "chaud" et riche que le 1.3 mais il me permet de jouer plus rapidement avec une meilleure définition, alors c'est tout bon, ces médiators exploitent bien la sonorité de mes instruments.Je l'ai également essayé sur une 12 cordes dont il exploite les sonorités de manière intéressante.Dunlop fait vraiment d'excellents plectres et ça valait le coup d'essayer celui-ci …

OK so imagine... best gear all set up to play the ultimate gig. Perfectly tweaked tube amp, flawlessly crafted guitar, now reach for... a bread bag plastic tab... Plastic is plastic... No wait that's not right. After years of strumming with various items and materials, I've finally found the perfect guitar pick. Dunlop, you are to be commended. These picks are, without question, the very best one could wish for. The attack and tone achieved are superb. And the grip with the raised brand. Excellent! Well done Mr. Dunlop... 😃
