I've been using Dunlop Ultex .73mm for 10 or 15 years, and I pick with the rounded corner, instead of the tip.

Had them printed and give them out at trade shows - has nothing whatsoever to do with my industry, but I get to meet other guitar players!

Blue Chip CT-55. I have three. Then Blue Chip TAD-1R 60 which is ever so slightly thicker and has one rounded corner. I have one of those.

I have been progressing to increasingly thicker picks over the years. I am now happiest with a 1.4 Large Triangle. I have been using the Wegen TF140's, Dunlop Primetone 140's with beveled edges and a DAddario Chris Thile 1.4 recently.

I want to order a couple Charmed Life nt-1.4's when Scott has them back in stock. The grip holes make all the difference to me.

Tried Blue Chip and now Casein. Still sticking with my Fender 346 Extra Heavy Celluloid. They bring out the EQ in my guitar I want to hear and they are cheap.

I've got a couple of those. I found them a bit clicky the first day I played them, but I must have adjusted my technique to them and now I'm loving them.

They make a standard version that doesn't have a sharp tip. That is what I like to use. I use a 1.0mm on my electric.

I like the Primetone 1.0 smooth for sound and feel, but I find myself using Ultrex 1.0 Sharps because of the shape more often.

My favorite as of late has been the end of my fingers.

My leather-like fingers. So much so that when I use a pick I over play the hell out of it and can’t keep a steady volume.

Yes, I know that means I should practice with a pick. You can’t make me!

I've bought some of these and find them very bright and harsh on my acoustics. They just don't suit my playing style.

And then there is somebody asking for the best 150,- $ guitar! :-)
