What's your favourite plectrum?

[Tom Coletti]

I'm still trying out a bunch of picks to see which ones I prefer, and I'm currently using 1.4mm Dunlop Gator Grips for both a Breedlove FF and a Martin Style B, beveled to my preferences, and they're great little picks for 50 cents each. I've also heard that Jesse Cobb uses the 2.0mm ones with his Collings MF5.

New plectrums to try out:

[Lord of the Badgers]

Primetone 1.4 (grippy version). That's what I got, and this Badger ain't for changing....

[msargent]

Mandolin and acoustic guitar: Blue Chip CT55 or D'Andrea 351 extra heavy.

Electric guitar: Blue Chip TD50 or Dunlop 207.

[mandroid]

Generally

the big 'wankel' (curved triangle) ala 346 fender, shape. & the Dawg / GoldenGate more rounded points..

depending on the mandolin used

[Loretta Callahan]

Clearly my pick preference has changed since I posted on this thread in 2012. Now, it's the Dunlop Primetone

And the Blue Chip CT 55

[Joey Anchors]

PaPa's faux ivoriod 2.2mm

[DavidKOS]

the orange, thin one is my favo plec.

I'm using the last couple of months the thicker but softer Fender 1.14mm plec than the smaller, thinner right plec. It has a much better grip but gives a softer tone...well i'm getting used to it...

For once I can say I agree with the pick choice! The Ultex pick and the Pickboy mandolin picks are among my go-to picks. I prefer the .73 or so mm ultem picks and like the very pointy "Spike" version, but yeah, these are great, not too expensive (!) picks.

Wow, I'm almost speechless.

Depending on the day I use a Dunlop Medium (the yellow one). This is the same one I use on my Martin D35.
Also have good results with Broussard: http://brossardpicks.com/horn-guitar-picks/ or the
clear ones from Jazz-mando: http://jazzmando.com/jazzmando_v-pick.shtml

Happy picking.

My favorite pick is the one that best matches the instrument/music/venue I am playing.

The flat ones!

[k0k0peli]

I've been flatpick-agnostic for a long time. Probably because I'm mostly a fingerpicker, hey? But I've accumulated a flotilla of flatties over the decades, as well as cutting my own from credit cards, or using coins, etc. I've followed recent discussions on picks, read about Blue Chips, bought some buffalo-horn picks instead (they ain't bad). Then someone recommended Dunlop Jazztone 207's. A 6-pack just arrived today. My verdict: sounds good, but damn! Those suckers are small! I may need to drill holes to hang onto them.

What's my favorite plectrum? Probably still my old National steel thumbpick.
