"My favorite guitar picks are the D'Addario Acrylux Nitra, 1.5mm. They provide a warm tone and nuanced attack, have a great grip, and don't wear down over time."

"Thick, clean tone, and ridged for that grip and bite on the edge. I love the Signature Guitar Picks and use them exclusively. They kick ass!"

Are all guitar picks the same?
Guitar picks vary in material, thickness, and shape. Popular materials include Celluloid, Duralin, Nylon, Cortex, and Felt. While most picks are triangular, they may be slightly wider or pointier. Guitar picks also vary in thickness aka gauge, ranging from light (.50mm) to thick (1.25mm).
