Fender Premium Celluloid Guitar Picks 351 Shape, Abalone, Thin, 12-Pack

This is the old reliable for me. I'd say that a pic is a personal choice, that depends on the size of your hands & fingers, and the kind of tone you get when you play. In other words, there isn't a right or wrong, so much, but it's more a matter of personal preference and taste. I'd also say that, as long as your strings aren't buzzing, and sounding "bad", then it's ok to get whatever you want. But please, don't just tear off a piece of cardboard, it sounds terrible, buy a pic, they are super cheap, so no excuses. Then we can hear you play instead of the embarassing cardboard! This Fender Heavy pic is my favorite pic that I use all the time.I just tried a whole bunch of different types of pics in the last couple months, since I thought I'd see what's out there, and see if there's something new out there for me. I ended going right back to these, my old reliable choice, that I've used since I was in high school, and ordered a new batch, because they really are the most comfortable for my small hands, and I like the sound, it's a clear, crisp, and not too muddy, nor overwhelming sound that these pics produce in my hands. I've used these Fender Heavy pics on my acoustic guitars for the last 40 years.Pics are easy to lose, and so I got a little Pic holder, which I'm really liking, since it helps to not drop the pics into a black hole. Some accessories truly are worthwhile, while others are unnecessary, the pic holder is a very cheap bargain, like $2-5, you can get them at your favorite music store, retail or online, that is proving to be useful. Instead of dropping the pic I'm using, I put it in the pic holder instead, since when I'm playing, I switch between finger picking without a pic, and strumming with a pic, it's a ripe time for dropping pics into the black holes of the front yard, or under the couch etc. The pic holder is helping me keep track of that pic.The Fender Heavy pics are nice and sturdy in my fingers, and I don't like the lighter kinds (including the Fender, and other brand's, lights & mediums) that ended up flying out of my hands when I'm playing, and they sounded tinnier, & more like a bad piece of cardboard, instead of a quiet, unnoticeable pic sound, or the professional pic sounds that pop out, now and then, and is perfectly ok to have. I'd say the biggest thing about returning to these pics is the fit feels perfect in my hand and fingers, I don't have any issues holding it. It's solid, and nothing but solid, in my hands. Doesn't slip around while I play, as some other kinds did. And it makes, no cardboard, no plasticky yucky sound, just the strings come through like a clear song. That's it. It feels great, and it sounds good to great. Simple & reliable.Your choice may be completely different with your hands & fingers. Keep in mind also what you want for your criteria, like a loud or soft sound, and you'll find the best pic brands & styles for you. I do recommend trying a variety, just to see what one likes best. They are cheap, so for $25 you can try a wide variety. Some people do use different pics for different kinds of guitars and different songs. You can read all about that as well, I did too, and found it fascinating to read, and watch, what my favorite stars use, and why. Dave Matthews, Pete Townshend, and other stars I love use a variety of pics for different sonic effects. But in the end, for me, I found out that all I really like, and need, is the old reliable Fender Heavy pics, for my Yamaha Eterna acoustic guitar.

They look good ,they work good ,and they sound good.

I am not a professional guitarist, but I have played on and off for decades. I have occasionally tried other brands of picks, some of them have gimmicks like odd shapes or surfaces, and I always come back to Fender brand. I know a number of professional guitarists and many seem to like heavy picks. I had always used medium, but someone left a heavy in my studio and I tried it and liked it. It takes a little adjusting, but I think it's a little more precise because it's more stiff. You can get a little more volume out of an acoustic with the heavy as well.It's just a pick, but they do make a difference and I have always found Fender to be consistent, reliable, and some of the best quality.

These were super affordable and cute picks. I ordered the abalone and honestly thought they were gold and white from one of the pictures but they are more mermaid colors. Perfect for rhythm playing. Would buy again.

i was learned guitar for the first time and these are actually something i wont forget, as cheap as they are, they are really nice and good on the fingers. not to mention, they have good design and look yummy.. dont eat them though..

You can’t go wrong with this purchase. It’s a bunch of Fender picks for a low price. Always good quality.

I've been using these guitar pics for many years.. These pics are the perfect size and shape for my style of playing.

I have used this for years now, I love the colors, I love they come as many as they do, I love fender brand and I loved the price. I think its an item exactly for me and my needs and it’s great also as gift, to beginners and professionals.

Sturdy guitar picks. Not too flimsy, and not to hard.

This was a gift for my niece and she absolutely loves it and is encouraged to play her guitar more.

Threw out all my other picks when these arrived. Perfect size, perfect thickness, perfect width, perfect colour.

These are the best picks. Period. Tried countless others, and always come back to Fender for the superior tone and playability.

The blue colour match my guitar, the soft flexing is a good choice for a beginner like me and I like the Fender logo for my Fender Squier Stratocaster guitar.
