Review: Terrific flat Jazz 3 shaped picks in Ultex - I quite like these.. They are pointy and therefore accurate in fast passages. They last longer than tortex picks of the same outline. They are flat, unlike beveled Ultex jazz3s and so many players will prefer this aspect of these picks to what is really the standard. If you like the undersized, medium sharp jazz3 profile, these might accidentally be the best ones on the market right now. They are actually slightly larger than regular jazz 3 picks and i like them more than primetones which are noticeably smaller... The only pick of this profile i like more is the regular Ultex version, (Oh wait, and 205s, if those count. Those are truly great for fast passages too) and that mainoly comes down to the bevel of those picks- They are thick in the center and thin out toward the point. They wear superbly. These wear decent, as they are flatpicks, many player will like these more. They don't take a bit of a learning curve to use if you've played other jazz3s, like beeveled picks such as ultex3s or stubbies.. The textured surface keeps them in hand and I actually quite like the polished edges (This is a feature of some pricier Flow picks and now, having gotten used to it, i think all picks should have polished edges). I think they are universally good picks for fast, single-line playing and associated genres such as bluegrass, jazz and metal. You really don't even have to know who John Petrucci is to appreciate them. I've watched a number of my students switch to these as they play faster music. I, myself, have used these and ultex 3s exclusively when teaching electric guitar for the past two years. I will go out on a limb and call them the best artist series pick ever released. I think that's true..
Review: Definitely one of the best picks (in my opinion). - First and foremost, I want it out there that I've had these picks for a while, so this review takes into consideration the breaking-in period and whatnot. Long story short: These picks are amazing and well worth the price to even try them. Also, this is just my personal opinion. Different people like different types of picks, but this one is just fantastic for me and seems to fulfill everything I want in a pick: (in no particular order) 1. Durability/Material/Grip 2. Thickness 3. Size 4. Pointedness 5. Versatility 6. Price 1. Durability/Material/Grip: First of all, these picks are made of Ultex. Lemme tell you: If you're frustrated with picks that seem to wear out too quickly, you should get these picks on that basis alone. These picks will not wear out, or at least haven't worn out on me. I haven't even worn down one pick yet, and I've had them for quite a while. That's how durable these are. BUT, some people like being able to wear down a pick to their liking. I like my picks to stay fairly consistent in wear (or lack thereof in this case) so my tone can stay consistent. Also, there seems to be a general consensus that authentic tortoise shell is the best-sounding material you can have for a pick, but we don't want to be killing those tortoises, now do we?! And although I have no experience with legitimate tortoise shell picks, I've heard from others that Ultex material is as close as you can get to that authentic tortoise shell sound. Again, I have no experience with that, but I can tell you that these picks do sound quite amazing. Lastly for this category is grip. I really appreciate the raised JP logo grip. It gives enough grip to keep the pick in place, but not too much grip to prevent it from moving around when you need it to. It's a great compromise. However, if you want more grip, just get a file and file to your heart's content. 2. Thickness The thickness of these picks are similar to the Max Grip Jazz III Carbon Fiber picks (if not the same). So maybe about 1.38 mm, give or take. Not too thin and not too thick. It'll stay rigid during leads, but it's also very appropriate for strumming. I've found that thicker picks generally give more control to players, so they don't have to worry about how the pick will react when striking the strings. 3. Size These picks are slightly larger than your average Jazz III picks, which I prefer. Although Jazz III picks are fantastic for leads and articulate single note playing, they can be a pain when strumming. However, the slightly larger size of the JP Jazz III brings the best of both worlds together. Articulate lead playing and strumming isn't a problem with this pick. 4. Pointedness Another thing I've found over time is that pointier picks also give more control to players. They offer great articulation for lead playing, but they also work just fine in a strumming situation. This pick offers that for me. 5. Versatility This one is hard to quantify unless you just try them out for yourself. It's an amalgamation of all the above factors. 6. Price A pack of 6 is about 6 dollars on desertcart. That's a little more expensive than some of the other Dunlop picks, but it's totally worth it in my opinion. When you think about it, those "boutique" picks like Red Bear and Blue Chip can cost over $20 for just one pick! Here you get 6 quality, long-lasting picks for less than 6 dollars. Can't really go wrong. Again, this is just my opinion, and I probably seem extremely biased, but these picks are really that good. Once you break them in and get used to them, which doesn't take long at all, you may never look back. HOWEVER, if you're simply not a fan of Ultex, jazz, pointy, thick, etc. picks, then don't get these unless you wanna see if they'll make a believer out of you :P. Enjoy!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for Electric playing, Less good for Acoustic
*by K***O on May 14, 2022*

After a couple decades of playing guitar, I finally started exploring a variety of picks, with the goal of finding my ultimate pick (why did I wait so long to start exploring this crucial aspect of plectrum based guitar playing?). I love these for electric guitar playing in a variety of styles (I tend to play clean, in jazz to indie/alternative styles, but other things too). I find the tone and playability generally superior (for my purposes!) to the regular red or black Jazz III's. The red jazz III comes close... albeit with a different, lighter sound (also very excellent, in my opinion). For acoustic (nylon or steel string) I absolutely prefer the red Jazz III instead, and don't particularly care for this pick. All of this is pretty subjective, and so the best thing one can do is just buy a bunch of different picks and see what works best. For me, red Jazz III's are some of the best picks, but for electric playing, I think these JP JazzIII's may just slightly have an edge. It's a close call. I personally don't love the Jazz III XL's (red or black) - found them both disappointing. Red and Black regular Jazz III's are great, but I prefer the red. JP Jazz III is fantastic for electric guitar. I will say that the JP Jazz III is a little bigger than a normal Jazz III, both area wise and thickness wise. But smaller in area than a Jazz III XL (but still thicker). I find the size to be fantastic... a little more secure than the little red Jazz III, but still small and nimble compared to "normal size" picks. I definitely recommend giving them a go! In my experience (YMMV), Jazz III's in general are some of the nicer picks out there, and any of them I've tried (red, black, XLred, XL black, and JP) are better than many other picks out there, by far. These generally just feel good in the hand (maybe with some adjustment period for the smaller picks, like the red III's), and the tone is really special, I think. Enjoy experimenting!
