Beveled Dawg pick

[Stoler]

I have heard good things about Dawg picks but just never could get used to how quiet they are. After beveling one, I am a fan. Give it a try.

Thanks Stoler, I'll have to give them another tryout. Bevel it is. I have a small stash of Dawg picks and dismissed them pretty quickly as being too similar to the Golden Gate picks. Thanks for posting a picture as well.

I have experimented with different bevels. It gives it just a bit of brightness that I think those picks are missing. The pick punch sanding block works really good

Please explain how to bevel a pick. Thanks

[Stoler]

Find one that is already beveled and try copying that on the Dawg pick. It takes a bit of practice to see what you like. You bevel one side on the front and back. The big thing is getting a sand block so you have different grit paper to smooth it out. Those are pretty cheap

Is it actually worth the effort?

[Stoler]

It does not take me too long and I prefer this pick to a Bluechip. For me it is worth the 10 minute investment of time, but others may disagree.

Just that Bluechip is a different plastic ...
bet they'd make one in that shape & thickness if you asked.
