Dunlop 449R1.14 Max-Grip® Nylon Standard, Carbon, 1.14mm, 72/Bag

I use a 1.0 thickness Dunlop Tortex pick normally. So naturally I ordered these Max-Grip picks in 1.0mm - I do love the grip and feel, but there is no comparison between the two picks. All 1.0mm thickness picks are not created equal, even if from the same company. These are way to flimsy for my liking. I ordered another pack in the 1.5mm (yeah, they're that flimsy) The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because IMO, a 1.0mm pick is fairly stiff and these (from the same company) were like using a .70mm pick. Dunlop should at least have a comparison chart so we don't have to buy over $20 in picks to get it right.

Max-Grip 60's -- and the Max-Grip series as a whole -- are simply the best guitar picks I've ever used. I had a previous favorite pick -- the Fender medium, in the confetti pattern (because it was easy to spy when I dropped it on the floor). Then I picked up a Dunlop (an earlier version), and never looked back. The Max-Grip texture is pure magic -- I don't think I've ever had one slip out of my hand. I can't even remember the last time I had to shake a pick out of a guitar body -- it's sure never happened with a Dunlop. I bought a 72-pack of the 60's, and now I have a lifetime supply.I use the .60 for two very different acoustic guitars, and it's perfect for both. My 6-string has D'Addario phosphor-bronze mediums, and that's a fairly heavy gauge. My 12-sting has D'Addario EXP38 coated lights. I get exactly the sound I want out of both, with the same light pick.I use the 1.5mm for my electric, and occasionally for bass. Another match made in heaven.My only gripe -- gray is boring, and the shades of the three thinnest are almost identical, and hard to tell apart. Make this in some colors and patterns please, Dunlop. My favorite color is still the Fender confetti.

I first encountered this pick when I saw one laying by the stage after a set by some performance artist. I had to know what the "pros" were using, so i picked it up and held it between my index finger and my thumb. It was almost as if the pick was glued to my fingers. Then I read on the pick "Maxi-grip" and said "oh". After buying a pack and actually playing with them, I honestly do not know if I will ever use a different pick.If you are a beginner or a novice, invest the $4 for a pack of 12, I prefer light picks but Dunlop makes thicker sizes to suit anyone's tastes. You will not regret it and you probably won't use anything else afterwards.Rock on!

I've played acoustic for over 50 years and I play a variety of styles from finger style to hard drive rock. It's here on hard drive rock these picks shine for me. When I employ hard, driving strumming I like two things: one a light gauge pick for rapid, deep string attack that will hold up without breaking, and two, a solid grip to keep the pick from twisting around, or worse, flying off. This pick, at .60 is the best I've found for this type of playing. Also like it for softer strumming and single note picking. Not too stiff and not too flexible. Perfect for my taste.

Picks are picks right? Select your material, select your weight, and you're done, right?No! these picks have this difficult to describe pattern molded into them... They "grip" your fingers... It's uncanny... They do not slip.I wouldn't touch anything but Fender mediums for years and years... Tried these on a whim... Not I have piles and piles of picks going unused... These are THAT good!

I do wish the grippy pattern extended all the way to the edges on the half of the pick that would be gripped - that said, this is the most grippy thin pick I've found yet. The maxgrip carbon fibre jazz picks are the best thicker pick.I used the 73 nylon after I found a bit too much clacking in my acoustic recordings - the softer nylon and more give seems to do the trick - I don't think you can go much thinner unless you are using it purely for strumming with zero picking - if you're going to do a mix of strumming and picking, the 73 is good.I also tried it on bass on a lark and that was kind of amusing. I found that playing over away from the bridge, with the right setup, it was a pretty cool tone - despite how weird playing bass with a thin pick may seem.Anyway it just goes to show it is always a good idea to experiment with different pick sizes, thicknesses, and materials for different tones. When people talk about tone being in the hands of the player, they may be neglecting one of the key contributors that stays with the player regardless of axe - the picks they use. you hand any guitar to Brian May and you know what he's going to pick it with...

These picks honestly surprised me. I have been a heavy Tortex user for years and decided to try these one day on a whim, and boy am I glad I did! These picks play AMAZING and are super comfortable to hold. When playing my hands get extremely sweaty, meaning I have definitely had my fair share of pick mishaps. I can't even begin to count the amount of times that I've been playing with a band, and an angry little bead of sweat grabs the pick out of my hand and throws is on the ground! HOW RUDE! All kidding aside, the grip on these is actually great. If you are thinking about buying these or converting your ways from another brand, just give it a shot! They are great picks not to mention the are CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP!!!!

I love these picks but to each their own. I am sure that if someone is used to some other material, these will take some getting used to in application. **** I have compared the Max-Grips with the standard Dunlop nylon picks and found a significant difference- They seem to be of different formulation in material as the same thickness Max-Grips are noticeably more rigid than the Standard nylons. They are also slightly larger in size.***

Started using these picks about three years ago. It's down to personal preference I suppose but I won't buy anything else now. Grip is fantastic. However, like ALL picks, if you drop one on the floor, the Plectrum Goblin will grab it the second it hits the ground and whisk it away to it's secret lair..

If you suffer from sweaty fingertips and dropped plectrums (a common complaint for gigging musicians), these Jim Dunlop picks offer the perfect solution. The grip is rougher than many other plectrums I've used, but not uncomfortably so, meaning you can maintain a good hold on the pick while you perform. The thickness is ideal for bass players or guitarists that prefer a little firmness with just enough flexibility for expressive playing. As soon as I used these I knew I couldn't go back to smoother plectrums, so I bought a bulk load that I hope will keep me going for years to come!

I tried a huge range of picks at some expense before finding this, my perfect beginners pick. I was attracted to others because of the colours, who wouldn't want a designer pick, but I found myself not hitting clean notes, online guidance clearly indicated that beginners should find the right pick and the rest would follow. I initially dismissed Dunlop picks because, let's face it they are not attractive, but what they are is very effective.... Would I like a beautiful colour, absolutely, but what I really want is to be able to play the guitar and deliver clear accurate notes with fluid strumming that sounds good.I didn't pick it for its looks, but as we all know looks can be deceiving......

I ordered these on Tuesday and received them on Thursday - you can't argue with that. They turned up exactly as ordered - a dozen guitar picks. I've used this type of pick in this gauge before so I already know that they're exactly what I want and will do the job perfectly. I was particularly impressed by the way that the supplier had punched twelve pick-sized slots in the printout of my order and carefully slotted a pick into each of them!It may seem daft to some, but I thought that it was really nice that the supplier had taken to time to present the picks in this way - a little quirky, but it shows that they take time over their orders - however small. It brought a smile to my face anyway as well as prompting me to leave a review on something that I wouldn't normally comment on!

Iv been using .60mm Dunlop picks all my life.I seen these with extra grip. I thought this would solve the problem of me dropping picks while playing.As soon as they arrived, I picked them up and they are definitely more grippy. So thumbs up for that.The main problem I have is they are 100% not .60mm.I have a box with around 20 picks. Most of them Dunlop .60mm. Some never even used.These grippy “.60mm” are way more stiff than any of my picks. I won’t be purchasing these again.
