The trouble with a celluloid pick is that it makes an acoustic guitar sound just like an....... Errr....... acoustic guitar!
Now we can't be having that can we? About 80% of those picked and strummed tracks from the last 100 years that we love were most likely played using celluloid picks.

I used to. I'm all about the vespel and casein. I'm still bitter that Charmed Life can't do vespel any more. His were rougher than Blue Chip, which sounds much better with my OM.

Like many members here I have a tackle box full of different picks. I like Ultex and Primetone a lot. If you want a different sounding guitar just use a different pick instead of buying a different guitar. Nothing wrong with lots of guitars though.
I like celluloid picks for their smoothness off the strings and warm sound. I used Fender mediums, a little too bright, Fender heavy, a little too warm. Wade turned me on to D’Andrea MH picks, .84mm. They split the difference, the Goldilocks of thickness, feel and tone. You can get them at Strings by Mail among other places. |

Tried most of the usual suspects, keep coming back to good old Fender mediums.

I use medium Fender celluloid picks. Particularly purple celluloid. I'm going to try light tortex though. The celluloid is so slick that my pick moves after a few minutes of playing. My hands also sweat a lot so that's the likely culprit.

I dont because I stopped using picks a long time ago. Back then I was using a genuine tortoise pick. Now those have toooone and are easy to grip.

Some people just don't get it. Picks? Celluloid picks, for me just seemed to explode in my fingers. Gigging in the 70's, with 9's on my electrics. And a Celluloid pick wouldn't last for 2 songs. Intro Nylon Herco Flex40. I loved those picks. I would buy them by the hundreds. I never broke one. Lost thousands. .40" so floppy, but if you squeezed it a bit, would turn into a nail. for quick leads. Alas they stopped making them for some reason or another. I bought so many. I'd have thought just me, would've been reason enough to keep making them. I went back to Celluloid for a bit, when I found I could get personalized picks. Re-enter the explosive pick. Now, doing acoustic sets. I rarely use a pick. When I do, it's .60 Nylon Dunlop. I find them hard to hold though. They spin in my fingers, and eventually end up on the floor. |

Fender celluloid 351 heavy picks are fine for me. I've bought more expensive picks and tried other people's even more expensive picks. Admittedly, I can hear the difference, but none of them have sounded better to me. I guess I'm just a cheap date by nature as well, I would rather have a hamburger than a steak. I can't bring myself to spend a lot of money just to get a pick that sounds different.
