These picks work fine when it comes to strumming and picking the strings of a guitar, and that's pretty key. Still, I have to give these a two-star, "I don't like it" review based on aesthetics.The black ink used to print the label smudged like newsprint. I played for 10 or 15 minutes and looked - black ink smudged all over. Maybe I'm just a sweaty guy - okay, I'm definitely a sweaty guy. Still, the pick looks disgusting and left black ink on my thumb. Jeez.
