Acoustik Attak STEALTH XL Structured Guitar Pick - Large Beveled Guitar Picks, Unique Tone (10 Pack, Black)

I’ve been comparing picks that would be rigid enough for accurate fast lead picking, yet was thin enough for a good attack sound on the strings. I compared (all 1.5mm or higher thickness) Big Stubby picks, Dunlop nylon, expensive John Petrucci signature picks, and these small Attak picks. These Attak picks WIN in the comparison for me. The Big Stubby plastic picks tend to squeak a little when made contact with the strings and you hear the notes but little string attack. The Petrucci picks are very rigid (great for accuracy) and have a sharp point (great for tone), but the thickness doesn’t create the pick-attack sound I was looking for - mainly just the string note is heard. These Attak picks had what I was looking for lead guitar playing and heavy crunch tunes: rigidness, no plastic squeak on the strings, sharp pointed tip, and the right pick-attack sound on the strings. Only down point: some may find these picks as too small in your fingers, but I think it’s a plus for accuracy picking and mixing in pinch harmonics. My choice for strictly rhythmical playing is still Dunlop nylons .73 or 1mm though.

This is of course really a matter of personal taste, but they are very comfortable for me.Really small (in a good way) and just the right thickness.

This pick is amazing. I’d like to start by saying that I’m not one for leaving reviews on products often due to many reasons, the main one being that I just don’t want to make time for it. With that aside, I had to leave a review on these picks. The grip, the tone, the feel, and the weight of this pick have made this to be undoubtedly the best pick I’ve seen. I’m a beginner guitarist who came acrossed an advertisement for these, so I thought “why not” and pulled the trigger on these. Took a while to get used to, but man does it feel amazing once that happens. I thought that I may have been overreacting so I lended a few of these to my friends who play as well and after a day or two they said the same thing. It’s a fantastic product.

The XL is close in size to a standard pick which I like. It's a little shorter though but just a hair. Probably on purpose to make alternate picking easier. I really like how thick they are but beveled at the tip. I don't like the strumming side of it though. I just haven't been able to get comfortable with it. The color is fine as I don't care about color, only function. At $15 for ten picks, it is a bit pricey when they inevitably start to disappear. Four stars for the strumming side and price.

It sounds insane to say but I’d pay $100 for one pick. I play better with this pick. The pick glides like butter over the strings and the pinch harmonics are easier to hit. I use to struggle with the quick gallop e-string chug on Kiss of Death by George Lynch and now it comes naturally. Trill picking is a breeze with this pick.

Really comfortable pick! I love the grip and I will definitely be playing with these for long time. I play a lot of fast alternate picking and I don’t have to worry about the pick slipping. Highly recommend trying for fast alternate and economy picking.

I was skeptical but these have easily become my favorite picks over the normal Jazz III’s. The thickness and grip are excellent and they last oddly long even with extended periods of use. I will say though that the glow in the dark effect is so minuscule so not buy these if that is your main selling point.

These feel and play great, however the point does not last long at all. I thought the reviews were joking but I maybe got a couple days out of one pick.I went back to my jazz iiis, if they revamp these and become more durable I’ll give these a go again!
