Well, good to know what they were anyway. I've always used the .50mm, the others are too thick for me, but I'm always looking for new picks to try out, so maybe I'll check out those Ultex ones you recommended.
Yeah check them out man, theyre supposedly for Acoustic guitar playing. I really like them, theyre the only ones I use now.
Do they make them in .50mm?

Dont think so. .60mm, .73mm, 1.0mm, 1.14mm is all I see.

Get the Acoustic Ultex ones, Ive been using mine forever. I prefer the feel and tone to the regular (orange) ones and the black ones.

I could never play for 5 hours. I get bored and distracted too quickly. I don't enjoy playing guitar much anymore though :cry:

how heavy are the .60's...i read on the site that they feel heavier than an avg .60...do you feel it limits your strum? do you notice a lot of wear? and how are the oranges different from the blacks besides the obvious color?

i've been using .60's since i started playing and i tried many many picks...i must say that tortexs are the best...wonderful grip and u dont feel em in ur hand...the only problem is that after a couple of songs they start turning around in ur fingers b/c they lost their nice grip...i actually feel much better w/ tortex than w/ each other pick...
