Is it silly to get excited about guitar picks?

I like ultex picks a lot.

I love the tortex yellow ones. Awesome picks.
I wish they had them in more colors though.

i switched from heavey big fender picks to ibanez pual gilberts.but recently i've been using heavy ibanez grip wizards. the have a pointier tip than the vais or the gilberts, and they have an oval sand paper type of grip.

I use so many different picks from time to time that i've got a massive collection. I prefer medium to light picks, but I am not sure on the actual thickness because the ink has worn off of all of mine. I lose quite a few picks every day, usually whenever I get up from my seat, they will fall out of my pockets. It's like I'm leaving a trail of guitar picks around.

I do take a file and reshape the picks to something I prefer a bit more... I round out one of the corners much more so its shaped more like a misformed P

i bought a 6 pack of the black ones back in March, and have only lost one since then. last month i bought an extra 6 pack, so that when my band starts playing out, i can drop at least 10 while playing before i have to start worrying

I use Pickboy Reefer 1.14mm's. Not for the pot logo, but i was drawn to them because they were thin (i was coming out of my .36mm phase) yet they were reassuringly stiff. Nice feel, and i never drop them.

Hmm, might have to give those Vai picks a go. I've known about them for a while, just never tried them as they're only 1.0mm. I've been using 1.14mm Dunlop Tortex's for about 3 years, but I'm moving over to 1.14 Ultex's as I use up the last of my Tortex's. Been using whichever comes to hand first for about 6 months now.

im a big fan of ebe's and yellow tortex too

Another 1.14mm Ultex user here. Mike handed me one of those at practice once, and I forgot that any other kind of pick existed.
