They are not as nice looking as the Pearse picks that are polished and have the tortoise pattern and the thumb depression. Lots of people comment to me about the looks of the Pearse picks.

Out of the bag, the Fenders sound a bit better than an unmodified Pearse. Some of that may be I don't have Pearse picks this thin. The shape of the Fender is more useful for re-working as the thumb depression on Pearse picks limit using anything but the point.

After beveling, the Fender holds it own with a beveled Pearse. Same time as I got the Fenders, I also ordered 4 more Fast Turtles as I have to use separate picks if I want a sharp or rounded tip. I'll still primarily stick with the Pearse picks but you could do a lot worse than the Fender at the price.
