Anyone happen to know the thickness of Fender medium celluloid picks, the standard 351 shape?

Thanks for the link. They don't list the actual thickness though. I've used Sam Ash mediums for years. In the past whenever I tried Fender mediums they felt a little thinner. I know the Sam Ash mediums are .71mm.

Thanks Mr. Bill. That's a good answer. If they are the same or a little heavier than the Sam Ash mediums, then I'll probably like them.

How picky are we getting with tight tolerances?


Mr Bill nails it with + or - .002" :wink:

Gentlemen,

Thanks for the info (and for the pun Miami Mike). My reason for asking was that I am considering changing brands since the Fenders are more readily available. I was in the middle of ordering some stuff from MF yesterday and thought I would order a dozen Fender mediums if they were pretty close to the Sam Ash mediums.
