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.
