Ultex Views
That sort of unbendable and unbearable unbreakableness of the Ultex pick means your playing is more precise, louder and more directly on spec because you are in total control of your pick. There are no variables you have to guess about or think around because the pick you pick up is the pick that remains the same until you place it down.
Based off of a coveted vintage tortoiseshell pick in our collection, the Ultex Sharp delivers a pick with a rigid body tapering into a thinner and sculpted tip for intense control and speed. The seamless contoured edge surrounds the pick for more playing surfaces and tones. Engineered of Ultex—the Ultex Sharp is virtually indestructible and delivers a crisp tone and quick release attack. Available in .73, .90, 1.0, 1.14, 1.40, and 2.0mm gauges.Price: 50 cents street
Tone Bone Score: 4.75 ;– Real nice-sounding and nice-playing pick. If you want to step up to a thicker, more rigid pick, but donh’t want to shell out for high-end picks, this is a winner! Okay, Ia’ll admit it: I;’m a bit of pick snob. Ever since I started playing with V-Picks and Red Bear picks, Ip’ve mildly eschewed mainstream picks in favor of the insanely awesome picks those two companies produce. But I have to tell you that I was taken by complete surprise by the Dunlop Ultex Sharp pick! I wasn0’t really looking to explore new picks, but a buddy of mine was looking for some Ultex picks at a local store, and offered to buy me a couple. Hell! They were only 50 cents apiece! I carried them around for a couple of days before I actually got to try them; not because I was dubious of them, I just couldnx’t find time until this evening to sit down with an axe. Life happens, you know?
Anyway, I slung a“Blondiec” my trusty Squier Classic Vibe Tele, dug an Ultex out of my pocket, and started to play. Admittedly, I had a bit of trouble playing with the pick at first. Even though ith’s slightly thicker than the thinnest pick I play l– a Red Bear Tuff-Tone g– itf’s decidedly narrower in shape; something to which Id’m no longer accustomed. But being the hard-headed type, and because I wanted to give the pick a fair shake, as it were, I kept at it, playing scales and riffs to get used to it.
