Not with that particular one.
I use the Large Pointed Ultra-
Lite.

You can hear a definite difference
in the tone. It gives the guitar a
warmer sound. At least to my old
ears.

I like the small pointed. They had them on special a while back for $2.50.

I've been looking at all the local stores for them. I don't really want to order them if I'm not going to like them.

I got a set of 6 different ones - and they are pretty cool. They feel great to hold, but for me the range of sound they offer isn't radically different from dunlop chubbies or ultex jazz etc.

I have a variety of sizes, and I like all of them. I like the first model he ever made the best.

I ordered a few (freakishly?) large ones, they sent a couple other popular sizes in there too. Turned out that the screamer is the exact size I was looking for.

Don't let them only being mail order scare you, it's only a few bucks!

I use a variety of them & absolutely LOVE mine,great company.
They take a litlle getting used to but once you do, you won't wanna go back to whatever you were using before.

I've tried a million picks and always go back to Fender mediums. Are they similar to the medium?

I've found the Ultra-Lites to be the
closest to the Fender Mediums.

I found the V picks to have a very "chirpy" atttack, particularly when used with an archtop or acoustic guitar. The ultra-light is the least chirpy. It's a bright sounding pick if that is what you're after.

One positive I should mention: V picks do feel great in your hand -- they don't slip or move around, even with a light grip.

i still have my original 4 (2 small rounded & 2 small pointy) and usually go to a screamer.

great picks, Vinni's a nice guy, and fantastic service

the diamond looks a bit too much though.

Must be pretty hard to find if you drop one though.
