positive attack, mellow tone plectra, with some caveats
Han-earl 02.03.2019
Dunlop's classic positive attack, mellow tone, Lexan plectra. These are the heavier, rigid picks. Perfect if that you're looking for a percussive attack but with a rounded tone, and if your technique leans towards precision.
However, its rigidity means that there's sometimes a distinct acoustic *tink* as the pick hits the metal string. That's fine if you play electric (like I do), but may not work in a lot of acoustic guitar contexts. Also the grip could be better as Lexan can be slippery in comparison to other materials. (For those wanting the weight, but without the contact noise, and if you need a better grip, check out the nylon Stubby as an alternative.)
But for me, I've been using these for over twenty years, and despite periodically trying other plectra over the years, I keep coming back to these. I love the sure attack that you get from using a rigid pick, and the tone available because of the sculpted shape.

Stubby's rule!
Anonymous 07.07.2016
I must confess to being a stubby user for more years than I care to remember. Personally I'm a fan of the "chunky" pic and the great thing about stubby's is the little dimple for your thumb which means they don't fly out of your hand in the middle of your showcase guitar solo and leave you standing blankly for 16 bars. If Mr. Dunlop is reading this "Jim can you do them in white please, so if it does fly off I can still find it on a dark stage floor" I personally use the 2mm as the 3mm are a bit toooooo stiff for me (ooh err matron) The tips do wear down after a while even this size but if times are really hard I would imagine that you may possibly be able to re-point them?? Maybe some youtuber with too much time on his hands has the answer to that? All in all the best guitar pick in my very humble opinion.

My favourite picks

They last a long time, are good to grip. Buying in bulk is economic if you play a lot. Good value.

Best pics ever!

Exceptionally accurate pics!
They do not last very long, but if one very educated queen guitarist will realize they are produces, he will save a lot of coins and be happy. I assume, he was more busy with striking poses than looking for guitar pics.
I am using those pics since 90's (yes, I am not very young), and there been maybe two other pics that made me happy (another Dunlop and one Gibson). I always have Big Stubby 2.0 and 1.0 with me.
