the 3mm pick that i love right now took me some time to adjust to.
but i had no other go as all my other picks were either lost or fucked and the nearest guitar shop is somewhat 230 kilometers away(seriously.... i live in a village away from all of the other human civilization...)

I tried the tortex 2.0mm & it was too much, it didnt give like the 1.0's did. Ive just always been confortable with the 1.0's & for me i think 3.0mm is way too much!

pickboy 1mm scorpion, 1mm randy rhoads polka dot, .75mm scorpion

i play black metal and death metal... these picks are nice because they are slippery which prevents that scratchy sound you get when you use a rough pick like dunlop... that and the tone is so much fatter.
