I recently changed from just folk singing to a variety of styles, and started needing to strum my acoustic guitar with a pick, instead of finger-plucking. I had trouble holding onto the picks, and constantly lost them in the sound hole, so I began to look for something I could hold onto without having to constantly think about it.These Big Stubbys were among the different types I tried, and for the Acoustic, the smooth way they rolled off the strings without catching on them and producing that nasty popping sound I hate so much was a thrill. The guitar just "thrums" with full-bodied debth I can't get from any other pick. I got the 1.0 thickness, and it works perfectly for me. I prefer another type and stiffness of pick for my electrics, but they never took well to finger-plucking anyway, being as they were designed for another purpose. However, if you want your acoustic Country axe to sound it's very best, I highly recommend Big Stubbys. I've been using the same pick for over a year, and it shows no sign of wear, so how the reviewer who wore his down in a few hours did so is beyond me!

I was looking for a heavier pick to use as my bass pick, but didn't want something too thick, so I went with a 2.0 mig stubby. Reviews said it would be pretty good, but when I got it, it just didn't fit the job. For me, it's muc better using the regular guitar picks I've been using, rather than these thick ones for a bass guitar. Stick with what you got, or get more "regular" guitar picks. Dunlop Tortex are great! :D

Nice feel. A bit hard for pointed-picking. I slant a bit, improved function & sound.

No opinion. Musicians' Friend must have mislabeled these picks. Each time the order was delivered they were the purple stubby picks which are made of Lexan, not Nylon.

Comments about Dunlop 475 Big Stubby Guitar Picks:
Generally I like these picks for their feel and am happy with the tone they produce. I've tried all three sizes and for some odd reason the biggest one tends to make my hand cramp a bit (maybe I'm giving it a death grip, not being used to the added width).
These picks feel really fast and I've always favored less give but I have switched over to the Jazz III series because of the Stubby's lack of durability. I don't know what the material is but I've literally blown purple dust off of my bass after shows. They will have worn considerably after each performance and while there is a lot of pick there, that nice tip is the first thing lost. I'd still have to say that dunlop knows how to make a nice pick.

Comments about Dunlop 475 Big Stubby Guitar Picks:
I've had my 2.00mm Big Stubby pics for over a year now based on some reviews at amazon and general advice on the internet. Some people waste this wonder material on frivolous things like bulletproof glass and aquariums, but Dunlop's using it as superhuman guitar pics which is its proper use.
They are the best pics I've ever used. The thickness where thumb and finger meet is aided with finger-friendly divots to make it easy to hold these pics in a secure, yet light and relaxed manner. The edge that meets the strings is glass hard, so the only give is from your soft tissues. That combination of lightly holding the pic and delivering picking force to the strings with minimal energy bleed results in better control of the material played (including more speed when desired).
Anything that can make it easier for me to do what I should've been doing years ago is a plus and these pics are a bag of plusses because of it. The 2.00mm ones have been so great that I want to try the ones and threes, too.
With many gift-giving occasions coming up in the Winter, throw out obnoxious hints that you wouldn't claw your eyes out if a loved one or friend got you some of these demonically wonderful pics. And some for me, too. Tell 'em I want some more and mail one of yours to me if you're too shy. Mail two of yours to me if you need me to obnoxiously drop the hints for you.
I've recently been using these with a guitar strung with Dunlop strings and the results have been very pleasing. Don't know if Dunlops other pics would work that way (and I don't want to go back to Tortex to find out), but it was like that time-travel effect when you put instant rice in a microwave. Only, with clean, ringing, crisp sounds and a lot less constipation.
If you're an alternate-picking addict or string-skipping smarty, you owe it to yourself and to everyone who might ever hear you (especially future generations) to use Dunlop Big Stubby pics. Even if you hate yourself and feel you deserve to be bitten on the nose by an angry bull hippotamus more than you deserve to make beautiful, brutal music, your obligation to this universe is using these pics.

Comments about Dunlop 475 Big Stubby Guitar Picks:
I recently started tuning down and using heavier strings. I usually use medium picks because I don't like the attack of heavy picks. But mediums will crack at the tip after tremolo picking or fast strumming. The big stubby picks attack like a medium and are more durable than heavy picks. They do take a while to get used to because of the rounded shape.

Comments about Dunlop 475 Big Stubby Guitar Picks:
Funny thing it was a student that brought Big Stubby to my attention. I'm a Fred Kelly speed pick guy 1st, but realize that though you can do almost everything with it, not totally everything. Enter Big Stubby. My student plays HARD & uses the 3.0's. Eventually I came down to the 1.0's & love 'em. But regardless of thickness, IMO Big Stubby is a well thought out, well balanced pick. The "quick release" tip lets you fly thru the strings with the greatest of ease. And I've found the 1.0's get my "highs" back without sacrificing firmness.
I still go back to the 2.0's on occasion, but the 1.0's are becoming the straight pick of choice when not using the Fred Kelly speed pick (thumb pick). Matter of fact I'm going to stock up on some 1.0's now. ;-)
Comments about Dunlop 475 Big Stubby Guitar Picks:
I bought the 1.0mm picks. The indentation on each side of the pick makes it easy to hold, less slippage and rotation than typical shiny/slippery flatpicks. The sound against the strings is bright and loud, the 1.0mm's require a lighter touch that I usually use.
Comments about Dunlop 475 Big Stubby Guitar Picks:
Good
Like the feel of the picks, they have some grip. Also the indentaion is useful for grip.
They are plastic...
Got what I paid for so I am happy.
