Hetfield's White Fang™ Custom Flow® Pick 1.0MM - 6 Pack

I bought these arbitrarily along with a few other different picks and wound up liking these the most. They're a bit smaller than your standard pick (see photo for comparison) and both sides have "grips" in the form of a circular area containing dozens of very small, uniformly arranged raised dots while the non-raised areas feel like your standard solid color Dunlop Tortex. These are not the same thing as the Black Fangs -- the Black Fangs are a bit larger (roughly the size of Ernie Ball Ever-Last and Ibanez Steve Vai picks), completely smooth, and have a slightly different shape. I personally prefer the White Fangs because nothing about the Black Fangs really stands out from other picks. I think the Spider Fang art looks cooler than the wolf, but that's entirely superficial. Anyway, good grip, good feel, withstood me pounding away at the strings on my Mustang. I personally like the feel of the "grip" bumps even though they don't particularly serve any purpose for me outside of feeling nice. I had bought another brand of "grip" picks that were green and had a picture of a dog on the package and they were awful. These are much better. If you're looking for something a bit bigger than the Ibanez Paul Gilbert picks, but a bit smaller than the Steve Vais or Ernie Balls, then these are a pretty good bet. The Metallica branding and the artwork of the wolf are pretty goofy, but if you don't care about what's on your pick and just how it feels, then it doesn't really matter, and it's also a really nice sort of off-white color. Despite being 1.0mm thick, they feel a bit more like a thinner pick, just considerably stiffer. This might be a pro or a con depending on the person, but for me, I like it.

The hold part (where it says Metallica and the wolf) is perfect. Not to “grippy” and after dozens and dozens of use they still hold. What I really like about them is the slip easier on the strings both bronze for acoustic and nickel for electric. It’s the best pick I have ever used and I have tried a lot. It’s now the only pick I use for all music styles.

Caveat: I'm a beginner and have only been playing for just over a year. With that said, I've already tried all sorts of picks. These are by far the best ones yet. They feel like the green Tortex picks that I had been using (which were a huge step up from the super cheap ones you can buy by the hundreds on this site) but with the addition of a textured grip. For me, this means that they are more likely to stay in place between my fingers while I'm practicing. This is especially helpful when I try to practice faster picking.

If you do any technical guitar playing or heavy riffing this is a great pick. This is my preferred pick for playing covers of Pual Gilbert, Jeff Loomis, Jason Becker, and similar difficult instrumental rock tunes. It is also great for playing any thrash. Everything sounds more crisp and clear with this pick. Other picks I have used listed best to worst for this style of playing: Jim Dunlop White Fang V-Pick Traditional Light V-Pick Traditional Ernie Ball Prodigy 1.5 Dunlop John Petrucci Jazz III Gravity Sunrise Standard 3 Gravity Sunrise Standard 2 Gravity Classic Standard 3 Fender Medium Gravity Sunrise Standard 1.5 Dunlop Gator 2.0 Dunlop Tortex 1.4 Dunlop Big Subby 3.0 Dunlop Tortex Sharp 1.33 Standard Celluloid 0.96 Dunlop Kirk Hammet Jazz III Dunlop Nylon .60 mn

I have absolutely zero guitar experience. Like… none. But the moment this signature pick hit my hand, something happened. I’m pretty sure my posture changed, my stance widened, and for a brief, glorious moment I became like the man himself... “YEAAAH-HEAH!” Riffs appeared out of nowhere and mosh pits. Neighbors were concerned. All jokes aside, this pick is actually excellent quality. Comfortable grip, solid feel, and it plays smoothly without slipping. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced player, it’s well made and does exactly what it’s supposed to do. 10/10 would recommend. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

-Great grip -but wear down really fast -also kinda flimsy for a 1.0mm

I love a good textured pick, and these are my current favorites! Perfect size and thickness for me, and they hold up well.

These picks work great for me! 😎🤘The smaller profile and custom edge makes fast down picking, gallops & PM’s easier to shred! The grip on both sides helps me keep hold of it while really thrashing🎸 Lastly they come in 1.0mm which is what I use🤩 I might be a bit biased - I started playing guitar 27 years ago because of James Hetfield🤘I had a deep need to emulate his guitar style,look,sound,etc…everything! I’d recommend these for any rock/metal players.

Exakt det man förväntar sig!

Great Pics. The delivery was later than expected.

Buena calidad y buen grabado. Perfectas para mi hijo fanático de Metallica y guitarrista.

Ganz klar 5 Sterne! Die Picks sind langlebig und lassen sich sehr gut in der Hand halten. Sehr schönes Spiel-Erlebnis.

Utilisation journalière , agréable à utiliser. Jolis motifs pour les fans de J Hetfield
