Right now i'm playing with a .60 Yellow Volcom pick that i got in the mail. I love Volcom, you send them a S.A.S.E. and they send you shit, and the bigger the envelope the more stuff they give ya :wink:
I usually play with a .60mm, whether its martin, fender or Dunlop. Whichever sports the coolest looking label, kinda like the way i pick out wine :D

I like a nice worn in medium, although I've never actually purchased picks before, I usually just accidentally steal my friends 8)
