I've left the bend as is. The only adjustment I've made has been to widen the band to fit my fingers comfortably.

| I wear my picks similar to Paul so right of the box wasn’t going to work for me, had to bend them over the tips of my fingers to feel natural to me. This was quite a feat as these suckers are thick and do not bend easily. Happily they are perfect now. |

Got mine today, very nice. They feel slightly less malleable than the standard national clones I've been using. They definitely stay put.

I would think a company like D'Addario would be pretty good about getting them back in stock.

They're back in stock. You can use code MARTY20 for 20% off. Not sure how long that's valid for.

| As far as I know, he plays with fingerpicks with square holes (also known as the Jeff Newman picks). |

The code worked for me. Picks arrived Monday. I still can't play like Franklin 
I like the picks, but I've gotten used to Acri picks, so I'll have to give them a longer test period.

Out of curiosity, tried them...feel just like the NP2's..didn't care for them, but then again
not everyone likes the same thing..

Gotta try these. Multi-high ‘5’s (🫲) to PF for due diligence with D’Addario. Stretching out to create crucial, really useful, and improved ‘point’ of attack
items like these make Paul a stand up guy. (worth extra couple $, IMO..for that PF brand…not gonna make THAT much wealth). 😎
Steady on |
