It give a great special tone that you can't get from any other material i have every tried.

I wish they just made one that was a bit thinner, but i am sure that htat would wear out and bend to quick.

Very durable, takes forever to wear them out.

They cost alot, but they last much longer than the amount of nylon pics you could buy for that price.

I don't know about sex appeal, but it is definatly something that gets noticed by those that know their guitars, and accessories, true players.

20 year guitar player, Play alot, though nothing professional.

If it comes written in sheetmusic i play it.

the look is not only compeletly rad, but the sound it preformes on my guitar strings is awesome!! it has a smooth sound, but at the same time a nice accented one. i think for live preformances this baby would own, but like i said, i dont own one so i cant use it on stage. im considering buying a few though. Right now im using a Fender with this pic and it's quite comfortable and ear settling, but i used it on my friend's Jackson and it sounds awesome!! maybe it's her guitar, who knows...but im a fender kind of gal so i like playing it on mine. i dont have any tips sorry; well maybe a little grip where the finger placement is...thats it. farewell!! -JET-

If you are a fan of Brian May of Queen or Phil Collen of Def Leppard, you know how amazing a metal pick can sound. They increase your dynamic range dramatically, and they also increase the frequency range of the sound coming off the string. They add a very pronounced attack which isn't for everyone, but I happen to love it.

I'm giving them an 8 because on the pro side: out of all of the metal picks I've tried, they have the least amount of chirp, which from what I can tell, is due to the grooving/ribbing in the cymbal metal. NOTE: The thin and extra thin do not have this grooving. Rather the thin/extra thin have a smooth surface. On the con side: I'm not giving them a 10 because they come in a limited amount of styles and sizes.

It's a little easy to over play with these, but after you get over the learning curve it becomes second nature.

These things slowly wear in like a baseball glove. I own several, but my main pick is one that I've been using for 10 years. Yes... I've mostly been using the same pick for 10 years.

This pick has more to do with my pre-preamp tone than my pickups or stomp boxes. Considering I've been using the same pick for 10 years is a tribute to its value.

I've never had to deal with their support, but it doesn't appear that they have a website at this time so I am giving them a 5 in that area.

I think they appeal to a limited audience.

The sound was hollow, no sustain or body.

It immedietly wore groves in my strings and Completly Killed the sound they produced. It made my guitar sound like a Complete Piece!!!

SUCKS!!

I drilled a hole in them and made necklaces!

It will RUIN your strings and the sound you are trying to get!

Did not try!

It looks cool.
