Customers like the sound quality of the picks. They say the sound is nice and crisp, the tone is great, and the pick brings tone out of the strings. The tornado material produces a better sound than plastic, and it's great for playing acoustic.

Customers are mixed about the thickness of the pick. Some love the material, thickness, shape, and color. They say it's thick enough for their aggressive style, yet not too hard that it'll break their strings. They also say it has different thickness sizes so be sure to choose the right one for you. However, other customers say the pick is too thick for their taste, too rigid, and a little heavy for electric guitars.

Love these picks - but leave black stuff on your finger!
I rarely write reviews but...I guess I'm just like Grandpa Simpson "Old man yells at clouds"....I love these picks - durable, get the job done. I'm a heavy handed amateur guitar player so the old-school Fender celluloide ones - I just break the tips off. Anyway - is it just me but the black logo ink wears off on my fingers. Ive tried soaking them but you literally have to wipe them off before use. I look like I just hanged my oil....that's my only beef.
