The Ibanez line, up and down, are all really solid instruments. They are not much to speak of, acoustically, though, which is the only reason I didn't recommend them to the OP.

Haven't tried the D'Andrea Pro-Plecs or 2mm Dunlops yet. I might try both of those. I am happy with the 1.5mm, so I may not switch, but I will look for other picks to test when I can.

Thank you.

Got a dozen D'Andrea 1.5 mm Pro-Plecs. They are sweet. Possibly the best I have used so far. I tried some others that I thought were good or to what I thought was a waste of money. Thanks for all the input.

That is still available. I wish I had some discretionary cash right now.

Frankly, I'm surprised it lasted this long...

Glad you liked them. I absolutely hoard them, in case they ever dissappear.

How fast do they wear out? I might get a few dozen more just in case. So far they don't seem to wear much though I only have 10-15 hours on one pick with flat wound strings. Probably not enough for any sort of wear understanding. Probably lose them faster than I wear them out.

Might grab another dozen or two just in case. Probably a limit of five units because of the virus, so I better act fast. Thanks again.

I've never worn a pick out in my life, always lose it before
