Tusq picks form Graph Tech

[Charles E.]

I am familar with "Tusq" being used for nut and saddle material, has any one tried their picks? Any thoughts?

[Mandolin-Tele]

From what I've read they sound good but wear very fast

[Nick Quig]

Yes they wear VERY fast! You'll notice the wear straight away!

Thanks for the info.

I`ve been using them for about 6 months and really like them. They are relatively stiff for their thickness. I`m using them on my mowry f hole strung with thomastik heavy strings and I find my picking seems more precise at faster tempos and I like the tone i get. Had previously used dunlop ultex 0.74

I tried some. Thin picks and very rigid. I didn't care for them.

I wrote to them and they sent me a sample. I think I just tried it a few times and it was all right.
