Jim Dunlop478P 1.14mm Tortex Jazz III Guitar Pick - White (Pack of 12)

I've been playing guitar for more than 10 years and although I'm a bedroom musician but I can easily recall 8 years I've been using Jazz III's. They are phenomenal picks, they are smaller than typical guitar picks and tend to be thicker and more suitable for faster tempos like metal or thrash. I used to play the Jazz III's with the clear coating on them but moved away from them even though the branding and logos of the pick were elevated for grip I didn't like the coating and wanted something flat. I moved on to the Tortex Jazz III's and have been using the since, they are flat and the texture of the pick is enough for me to grip onto, like I said I'm a bedroom musician so I don't have the experience of using them on stage but I imagine they would do well. I also prefer white as if I drop it or am looking for one it stands out a lot easier.Overall one of my favourite picks, they work well for anything but are amazing for playing faster tempos with a nice texture that works well for me. Since using Jazz III's I find it difficult to go back to regular sized picks as the size feels excessive and unnecessary.I'm currently on a pick quest to see if I can find anything else I like, I've purchased the Green Kirk Hammett Jazz III's and John Petrucci's Jazz III's as well to give them ago and review them as well.Hopefully you found this review helpful and happy shredding.

Superb picks ,I recommend them highly

I never feel compelled to write reviews but this pick is a game changer.I've used the standard red Jazz III's for years. I love the shape, feel and tone. My only gripe would be that they would occasionally move about between your fingers so on hotter and sweatier gigs I would find myself re-adjusting my grip from time to time. I used to use 1.14 Tortex picks when I started playing guitar, I remember loving the feel of Tortex so when I saw these I had to check them out.To my ears, the tone is slightly more full sounding than a regular Jazz III. There is less of a "snap" when you strike a note, it just sounds thicker and more smooth. Perfect for jazz, blues and fusion style lead playing. The Tortex material is so grippy, even with clammy hands. Game changer. Feels even more controllable than the OG Jazz III and sounds better too. One of the best bits of gear I've bought in years, and it costs a fiver.

I personally use a nail file to take the edges off the and scratch the surface with a pin for grip (Im not marking them down for that it takes 20 seconds and it kinda adds to the versatility actually). Long lasting, great shape and size. Great value I love these picks!

Not much to say. They work well.

I originally bought the jazz III variety pack and really liked the green tortex jazz III that comes in that. I thought these would be basically the same and although the size and shape are identical there is one noticable difference. The print on the green jazz III is a bit raised and gives it texture and better grip. These white ones are completely smooth which makes them a bit slippery.

Sturdy and great for electric and acoustic guitars.

I have always been a fan of Jazz lll picks and also use the red or black ones. I have now since tryed the yellow ultex kind and now these white ones. The size of the picks are very similar to the yellow ultex ones but as a massive bonus if you manged to drop one these they are so much easier to find as they dont get lost in the carpet or if you play live gone forever on the dark stage. They worked out at around 70p each as I ordered 12 which is very reasonable.If i had to give them one fault it is that they are completly smooth so they dont have the raised sections to add a little bit extra grip. I havent found this to be a problem but you could get a sharp knife and cut a cross in either side if you wanted to add a little bit extra grip.All in all a great buy and I would highly recommend them. Hopefully I wont lose anymore pics when playing live.
