I just realized they don't make the classic extra-heavy any longer. Does the new 'wavelength' extra heavy play and feel exactly the same? Thanks.

Looks to me like the Wavelength is just the 351 with a funky wavey grip...so it probably "plays" the same since the dimensions of the pick (both size and thickness) have not changed; but "feel" is gonna be different because of the textured grip.
Back when I used picks (plectrums) I preferred the Dunlop Nylon Max Grip 0.73mm pick...so I liked texture, but 0.73mm would be more of the medium to medium/light in the Fender picks. I HAVE, in the past, used a Heavy Fender pick; but I have no idea what an Extra Heavy would even feel like, so can't help you there.

Seriously?
Buy a couple and decide for yourself. If you can't afford a couple of picks, you have far more serious problems than guitar picks.
Yes, I can be grumpy sometimes.

We can always count on FMIC to stab their customers in the back.

It seems like now I won't be spending a dime on anything Fender anymore.

Well, I'm 80, I live on social security, and I don't get out much.

Welcome to the Forum Paul. I use V-picks and Star-picks mostly.
