Your Preferred Plectrum Thickness?

[rllink]

I don't know. Fender celluloid heavy. Maybe someone has been curious enough to measure one

On the few occasions when I use a plectrum, I like thin ones. I don't know about measurements; I just go by the feel.

Current favorite is the Ultex.88. Good tone, nice tactile grip.

Started using these on electric decades ago and they're great for acoustic too. Half a dozen different brands. Sometimes I scratch the sides with a compass point to get scoring that makes the grip better but my acoustic playing at home doesn't get as sweaty as my electric gigs used to get!

O.73 to 1.0. I rarely go over 1.0.

As time has gone on, I've started preferring thicker. Celluloid heavy picks which I think are around 1mm. Sometimes Dunlop tortex. 88mm. Can't imagine playing 2mm and such, but if I'm using a pick I'm strumming.

1.5mm is my goldilocks thickness.

[Brent Hutto]

That's category of 1.01mm-1.75mm is so broad it includes picks too thin for me to have much luck with (1.01mm) and picks way, way beyond any thickness I could get to work at all (1.75mm). Almost all the picks I've ever found to work well on acoustic guitar are between 1.2mm and 1.5mm with the best ones closer to 1.2 than 1.5.

flatpicking only with 2.0 - 2.5

1.20 hits my sweet spot. Wegen, ultex, or celluloid.

[FrankHudson]

Actual answer varies. I will use a thinner pick sometimes, but generally with acoustic I'm at 1 mm or some fraction of 1 mm plus.

I'm almost always thicker on electric, not the survey asks. I have a 2 mm pick that I favor most often currently.

Dunlop Primetone .88 is my pick of choice for acoustic and electric guitar.

[CharlieBman]

I keep trying picks I think might be better, but invariably I come back to my old Dunlop nylon 1mm. I've used them for so long anything else kind of feels foreign.
