I'm really exited. I just recieved my v picks in the mail; one screamer and one "freakishly large" one. I played with em in one song, say floyd the barber, and played with all my other picks in floyd the barber. I thought, "Woah, these are f***ing awesome!!" They were the best of the lot. An I've got dunlop jazz 3's, and dunlop big stubby, it was even better than my home made pick!

Alot of people use v picks on here, so are they the best pick ever??Possibly the pick of destiny out of the tenaciuos D movie?

love 'em, the issue is every guitar player I show them to wants one so now from my last shipment I only have 2 left and I promised Vinni that I wouldn't give any more away, hard to say no to Bros, enjoy Riley. 8)

I have not used anything but V-Picks since Vinni handed me one to try out years ago!!


How many V-Pick users have tried the V-Pick Slide?

I've read about the dava ones, tell me a bit about em?
And yes, I'm struggling not to use my dunlop thumb pick at the moment, but i spose it'll grow on me.

I was thinking about buying one the other day, but i couldnt quite justify spending £6 on a guitar pick.
Maybe next month.

They are good, but like religion, I don't force them upon anyone...

Although I like the V-picks, are they the best pics ever...I had to say no. I do use them for strumming on the acoustic or Bluesy stuff, I always wind up right back with the my Dunlop Nylon 0.88 when playing Metal and Rock. I have been using these pics for at least 15 years and old habbits are hard to break. I just cannot articulate the pick the same way to get the tones I want to express.
