    i would love to use dunlop heavy cores on my schecter c7! they’re not available here in mississippi (at least at guitar center)! i have used tortex .88′s since i started playing. these new picks would be awesome to try out! especially since the new Unearth album has given me a little bit of inspiration! also, the MXR 10 band EQ has given a great lead boost for my marshall full stack. I could REALLY use this stuff right now!!!!!!!! thanks for making a superior product! ( i really need this stuff guys……)

    Metallic! Slayer Anthrax and BLS…to many to chose one band from. I think the .88mm picks are the absolute best!! Ever since I met James Hetfield and saw he was using them in the 80′s. I bought some and  I havent used any other picks since!! they don’t break apart like other low quality picks,Tortex are the best…Doubt I’ll ever buy any other brand.They’re the Rolls Royce of guitar picks…They provide excellent attack for leads,great for rhythm and never fail…No matter how hard I play..they’re great picks!! Plus all the other products you produce..All top of the line
