I looked into these V-picks a few months back, and couldn't get over the thickness - I currently play .73-.88 Dunlop Nylons, and like the little flex I get, but now I am feeling the peer pressure to try them out but I've never liked thick picks(Was using .46mm Nylons up until recently) Sounds to me like the screamers, and the medium rounded are the most popular, but what do you all recommend for acoustic(Anything different?) - Can't go by V-picks recommendations or I would end up spending over $100 for a few picks, and I already have so many other picks, including Jazz IIIs which I don't like because they are too small and slip alot.

So if V-Picks are just like Dunlop Stubbys I won't like them. Don't get me wrong, Tortex picks are still my favorite picks ever, but I'm still gonna give these V-Picks a shot, because if they are awesome I don't want to miss out on it.

I have corresponded with several of you when you ordered V-Picks. and I appreciate that fact that you have been talking so much about V-Picks. Kris has set me up to be able to take any questions that you might have. I can also help anyone who may not know which pick to try........I usually can point you in the right direction after I ask a few questions about your playing style, which type of guitar you play, what guitar pick do you play now, and more. Vinni, (my husband and the maker of the V-Pick) is a guitar player who looked for 35 years to find a pick that would do what he wanted. He made picks out of every type of material that crossed his path, ....wood, metal, plastics, glass, stones, coins, and much much more......just trying to get some life from his guitar pick. He finally found a material that worked, and then he started experimenting with shapes and thicknesses and the edge. After years and years of work and experimenting, we now have what we think is the best playing guitar pick in the world. We want to share this with everyone. Sure, we have made it into a business, but the passion for music is still there and will always be there for Vinni. It is exciting to see a guitarist play with a V-Pick for the very first time, strum a bit and then look up with wonder in his eyes and ask, "What IS this?!!!" We live for moments like this. It is not just a business to us. It is our joy to help others get more from their instrument. Vinni will be registering soon. He is a fantastic musician, loves the guitar with a passion, and loves to talk about tone and sound. So , if anyone has a question .....ask away. I'll check in later.

I can't say that I have any use for the hundreds of jazz III's laying around the house... any takers? I really like the screamer and med round. Maybe the med round a little better, but since I only have a couple hours playing time on them I can't say for sure. I'll be placing another order soon. Thanks for starting this thread.

I assume you don't do this, if you have slippage. it could have pig fat on it, it would not slip on me because of how I hold the pick. it was weird at first a year and a half ago, but soon I could not imagine holding a pick in any other fashion. I really believe it would be like that for nearly everybody here. Andrew changed to this way and I think feels the same way, as does MickeM. Thanks! You where right.
