What is the measurement in mm for Jim Dunlop nylon medium guitar picks?

I'm after some Jim Dunlop nylon guitar picks of the medium variety. What is the measurement (in mm) on the front? I'm buying them online and not really sure who I can ask.





Thanks!|||The light gray Dunlop picks are considered a medium gauge. They are .60 mm


The dark gray Dunlop picks are considered a medium/heavy. They are .73 mm


I have been using the .60s since they first came out. It's the only pick I use!





The tortex picks are gauged the same way but the colors are different.|||gtarczar is correct.





The only thing you need to consider is if you like a "firmer" pick. I myself use the dark grey .73.





It is stiff enough for tremolo picking and sharp emphasis. I think I tried the .60 but it was a little too flexible for my purposes. Some people like the more flexible picks for sweep picking and harmonic plucks like ZZ Top's guitarist.


I'm more of a Ritchie Blackmore guitarist and need a stiffer pick. Heavy gauges than that are good for breaking strings LOL





BTW, the Dark grey and light grey I believe are the nylon picks rather than tortex.


But I swear by them as well. I never use any other type of pick but the nylon Dunlops. They last for freaking ever! I bought like 5 of them and they lasted me for over 10 yrs until I finally lost the last one.
