I haven't bought a pick in years since I switched to BlueChip. I've used the same IBJ55 (oversized jazz) for electric and the same CT55 (big triangle) for acoustic for several years. They really do last forever, and are definitely worth their price. They're also easier to hold onto than normal picks, glide through the strings easier, and sound awesome.
I've been eyeballing these for a while.Red Jazz III for everything. Heavy use of hybrid picking.
I’ve tried growing the nails out and I can’t keep nails on my middle finger to save my life. I’m not down with acrylics so I have to settle for flesh
Oh I remember those. The premium ones sound nice but that starter kit price, ouch!I've been eyeballing these for a while.

Yeah, that's pretty much why I haven't pulled the trigger. I can't justify that kind of spend when I'm such a lousy fingerstyle player.Oh I remember those. The premium ones sound nice but that starter kit price, ouch!
CUSTOMized Dunlop Tortex 0.88 ... with pointy tips.
I can re-sand the edges several times until the pick gets too small.

80# for shapingI have a bunch of those triangular picks, but haven't been using them for a while. I might try that to see if I like it. Are you just doing it by hand with sandpaper? What grit?
