The Small Pointed is the pick I use now instead of the Jazz III
Welcome Vinni and great picks you are doing there
What about doing a lesson for us ?
I really like your tone in your videos
Nearly every single Jazz III players that have tried our Small Pointed say that they will never go back.
Kris said that was a possibility for me. I would enjoy doing that. I'd need some help in finding out how to do that.

Vinni! I'm just about to order some, and I'm not sure what to get either, I've been using Jazz III's and love them, so maybe something similar to that? Screamer? But I don't want to miss any mid range.
Our Small Pointed gets TWICE the mid-range of the Jazz III's. You'll be very happy.

Nancy and Vinni:
Thanks for the replay - A couple more questions and then I'lll get an order in.
I understand what you are saying about strumming harder(acoustic) with a thin pick to overcompensate and that a thicker pick will help you play softer(But will produce louder results) but up until now, I have always had a hard time with a thick pick as I felt they didn't cut across the high tensioned acoustic strings the way I like when strumming, causing a bit harse sound - I think the thinner Nylon pick flexing compensated for this and gave me a smoother strumming sound- Is there any validity to this, or can it be chaulked up to bad technique on my part(Which is very likely). I do notice you are now offerring thinner acoustic picks as well - When are those a good option.
Lastly - Where does the Screamer fit in that everybodies talking about, related to the medium pointed V-pick?
Thanks,
Michael
Good questions! Thank you!
If you like a softer sound on your acoustic, then the Ultra Lite V-Picks will be perfect. They have plenty of flex and give. The do not assault the strings as hard as the Acoustic model does. They still have the wonderfull V-Pick feel and "grippage". I think you will like them a lot. If they are too thin for you then graduate up to the regular Lites, which are 1.0mm. They ask more of the strings and give a much louder, forcefull sound. Maybe good for you, maybe not.
The Screamer is the exact same pick and the Acoustic. I made the Acoustic for a couple of years and even though it was great on an electric, my electric artists would not order it because of the name. So, I gave it the second name, Screamer. Voila! They started selling like hotcakes! We guitarists are a weird bunch, aren't we?
Anyway, the Screamer has a mid-range scoup to it's sound. I am not comforable with a pointed pick, therefore I do not use them but I have a lot of customers that will only play the Screamer. Lots of harmonics and some say they can play faster with them than the rounded picks. I personally have always played with the rounded corner of any pick. I learned that from Robben Ford. Much fatter tone and faster action. But that is just me. My opinion and $2 will buy you a cup of coffee......
Hope this helps.
