Really Flow action, great attack, fantastic grip...

I was using Pickboy Carbon/Nylon Pos A Grip 0,88mm picks, as my main guitar pick. But a few time ago, I started to detect a strange buzz when touching the strings (specially open strings) with this Pickboy pick. I was annoying with that noise, and I decided to search for a new main pick model.

After tens of different models (always based in Jazz III / Jazz II XL shapes) and all the support from Carl (Lord Of The Strings), I got comfort with the Dunlop Flow model. Also, an amazing pick, and it lives up to its name… It really creates an excellent Flow in our action through the strings.

I’ve tried Dunlop Flow (Ultex) from 0,75 to 1,14mm. Also made my choice to the 0,88mm.

Slightly different attack angle, when compared with the Pickboy, but also with an excellent attack, great grip and smooth action with no over flexibility.

After a while, I found out that the “Pickboy buzz” was caused from the conjunction of the pick material (carbon) and a defective power supply and a specific hum, especially when using high gain or combination of modelling effects. I changed the power supply and return to use the Pickboy carbon/nylon Pos A…

But I was unable to forget the Dunlop Flow... So, now I’m using mainly Pickboy carbon/nylon 0,88mm, but sometimes, when I want some more strumming flow, I have the Dunlop Flow Ultex 0,88mm.

Conclusion:
Considering my playability, string gauge and plural music styles taste, I feel more than served with those two models of guitar pick.

Also, Lord Of The Strings service and availability is a must. All the support and experience share exchanged with Carl, were a great help.
I do not hesitate to recommend this shop.


Note:
I was a 009 and 010 string player when I start to use these pick models. Gradually, I became a 008 string player, and 0,60 to 0,88mm is more than enough for me.

More consistently and most of the time, I’m using the 0,88mm model. And I simply do not even remember the picks from 1 to 1,5mm that I was used to, in the past.

Both Dunlop Flow and Pickboy Pos A Grip are “Jazz III XL” shaped guitar picks with an excellent attack, great grip and smooth action with no over flexibility, even for the 0,60 model.

The Ultex type material is comfortable and stiff enough without compromising flexibility, which is for me the best of two worlds.
Honestly, those two guitar pick models are the best picks I ever experienced in 16 years.
