I bought one of each and prefer the 205, 206 and 208 as these have pointed ends similar to "Big Stubby" picks which I also like in 1mm and 2mm guise. My preference would be the 205 for tone and feel. Not expensive, just try all five but do try a Big Stubby too

You wouldn't think that such a small and inexpensive part of a guitarist's kit could have such a huge impact on playing the instrument but then what you use to agitate the strings is, not surprisingly, pretty crucial. Music shops local to me only seem to stock the usual brand picks upto 1mm so it came as a revelation to discover jazztones. Now, these are the ones! Go back to what I used before? Absolutely not. If tone, single line control, articulation and sweeping are important aspects of your playing, then these picks will really assist you.

I've tried quite a few different picks, but for past 5 years have been using the very good Dunlop Speedpick. I tried this out of interest based on the reviews and am astonished. I didn't find it took getting used to - it was terrific from the off. The sound is so much brighter, cleaner and more musical than any other plastic pick I've ever used. Also, these are without any doubt the quickest, easiest pick for lead I've ever used. They slip beautifully between the strings - great for arpeggio and rapid picking of a single string. I've ordered more. Try one - it's only 50p. Your playing will improve and you'll be back for more.

Bought the 208 just to try it out. As one of the previous reviewers said, they're a bit weird to hold at first, and i really thought I'd wasted 50p. HOWEVER! it's now my favourite pick, it's big and beefy and produces a really nice warm tone, and the attack you can get from it is awesome. I use it to play mostly Erik mongrains stuff mostly, I know he uses a standard dunlop pick, but for me the jazztone works best!

I decided to try the 208 after reading some of the reviews and when I first tried them the tone was unbelievable, however the texture of the pick is very different to what im used to, but after playing with it for a while I have gotten used to it and it is now one of my favorite picks to use and it makes my playing seem effortless, as it can be used for picking or strumming. Highly recommended.

they feel lovely, like polished pebbles found on a volcanic beach and they produce a warm and full tone whatever the strings you are using. great for jazz picking but i would use other picks for any other style of music.

These are possibly the most underrated pick ever!, I absolutely love them.# I have tried Gator Grip, Tortex and Delrin and these are the best, as a previous reviewer said, they have an almost ceramic feel and your tone seems better, they are very good for rhythm and lead, they don't have any give so you can play with less effort and still get an aggressive attack.

When i brought these puppies is was looking for a pick that had more rigidity and was slightly smaller than the Dunlop Jazz III picks to make for faster picking and easier pinch harmonics in a rapid riff. I brought all 5 types of the Jazztone and fell in love with the 205's as it met all the requirements as well as being extremely versatile to many types of genre e.g. heavy metal, Jazz, reggee and blues. Another great thing about these picks is that it take eons for them to ware down, like my first 205 jazztone played it 6 hours a day for six months and its barely blunt. The 207 and the 208 are the larger of the five and i generaly use these for strumming on my acoustic. The 204 i use for softer music and the 206 for somthing slighty harsher. As i've stated in the first couple of paragraphs i prepher to the 205's as they suit my style the best. So in summary i highly recomed these picks to any guitar play who likes to play fast, accurate and groovy.

I tried a few of these just to see what they were like and I've fallen in love with them. They make your tone rounder and has clearly improved my tone slightly. They're great for lead playing. Some might find them slightly on the thick side (not as fat as some of the Stubbys) but they definately are a great pick.

Tried these on the advice of someone on the Hot Club website who was recommending them as a cheaper alternative to Wegen Gypsy Jazz picks. They feel pretty weird, almost a ceramic sensation and I couldn't get on with them for lead playing but they do give a nice warm tone for jazz chord/melody and rhythm playing. As for Gypsy stuff, the Wegens still rule for me, but the Jim Dunlop Big Stubby (the 3mm) worked passably well as a vastly cheaper substitute.
