Jim Dunlop Max-Grip® Nylon Standard Pick .60MM - 72 Pack

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 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.

Now listen, these are all right picks. They do their job. I just ended up using them as disposable extra ones instead of my primary kind. They're somewhat flimsy, and they give somewhat when I pluck a string rather than staying rigid. I don't quite get the attack sound or feel I'm looking for. These are easy to hold though and would do in a bind, but definitely not my prefference.I also slide a pick into my guitar strings so I don't lose it when I set the guitar down and go do something else. I tried that with these and the pick seemed to be bent permenantly from its short stay between some strings.

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 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...

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.

These aren't for me, 5 stars though as to product itself. You can't go wrong with these if you're looking for a sticky pic, MAN! I mean they stay put! It feels like they're glued to your finger tips; I found myself constantly adjusting them just to make sure they weren't lol! Alas, I do need to adjust the positioning of my pic too often as I bounce back and forth between picking and strumming. But I'm weird...I use very lite strings and pic. If you're a thicker picker and like your pic to stay put then these are for you, I doubt you're gonna find a better deal.

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 am just a beginner and mainly playing acoustic. I have lots of different picks that i have bought (some for look, some for varying thickness) I found some without any embossing to be very slippy in my hand, even to the point I had to score them with a stanley knife to increase grip. But when when strumming faster tunes still found them moving around in my hand. Even the standard Jim Dunlop nylons (with raised logos embossed) would slip between my fingers. I haven't dropped any but found they were moving around and making me try to contort my hand to use effectively! (maybe I need to grip harder !!)These ones are very grippy and so far no slipping. I haven't played for long periods but they are better than i have so I just ordered more in different thicknesses. If they are genuine? I don't know - they are ever so slightly "rounder" at the tip than my other Dunlop picks, but TBH I don't really care, they work well and were cheap enough.

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......

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..

These picks are a little heavier than I've been accustomed to using, but they're flexible enough not to create the clattery sound that can come from a heavyweight plectrum. Also, as they're slightly softer material than the typical thin pick, there's less impact noise, which allows the guitar's resonance to be heard more strongly over the percussive hit on the strings.I bought these at the same time as a 10-pack of Dan's Guitar Store plectra. Those are good too - equally good IMO if you're picking individual strings or playing lead. For hard cross-string strumming though, the Jim Dunlops are definitely superior. The grip is more positive and the slightly longer nose keeps your fingers a little further from unintended hits on the strings.

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.
