I seen an add on here, a while back advertising these picks. I ordered two sets of them. One set Gold, the other a Brushed Metal. I love them, and want to order more, but can't find who it was I got them from. They are just like the JF finger picks Jeff had, but not as heavy. I think the ones I got were 0.020, I would like to have them to be 0.025, as Jeff's were, but they didn't offer them. Wish they did, but I have become a little use to them. Would appreciate any information, thanks.

Dave thanks a million, it was the first I had see it, so thought it was new, sorry. I had bought several set from Jeff, so had stock, but it is getting low. I really do like these picks, maybe they will make a heavier gauge later, or do already, I may have missed. Thanks again.

I played them for a couple of months.
They have NOTHING to do with Jeff Newman. JN re-issued some "National" style picks at a time. They were I BELIEVE nickel sliver.
Here's what I like, and what I don't:
I DO like:
- THIN material. I wear 3 finger picks (+Thumb) and I can't have them rub against each other.
- The material (allegedly Titanium)... is almos Spring Metal like... Once bent in shape, the STAY in shape!
- they are LIGHT!
I DON'T like.
- The whole punch outs in the braces can irritate the skin after a while.
- since the material is thin, they have punch-shaped a rounded edge all around the blade and tip... it gives the blade stability and it stays in the shape bent... but it's TOO rounded and it eats some of the clarity. I think it would be not un-benificial to E9th players as they play a LOT on the plain and many thin gauged strings which at times are shrill to start with... but on my B6th and now C6th, I missed some "zzzing"... so I started to look further.
they are on the expensive side of non-vanity picks (there are custom engraved picks for over $50/piece being made)... but I feel they are worth the shot.
... J-D
