Dava 1303 Delrin Grip Tips Guitar Pick (6-Pack)

I have been playing guitar off/on for about 30 years. I have always used whatever cheap picks I could find laying around or snagged from music shops -- the free ones they give you when you try out a guitar in the shop :) Always Medium gauge, for both acoustic and electric. I decided to try these Dava 1303's because they were cheap and looked cool, wasn't expecting much, I mean, a pick is a pick, right? Wrong. These little guys have a fantastic "feel" to them; they seem to get in between the strings so effortlessly for flat picking. It's crazy but that is what I am experiencing. They are maybe a bit on the thin side, but not overly so, I got used to them quick. Plenty stiff enough for enthusiastic strumming or picking. Tone-wise, they produce a nice, crisp, slightly metallic string sound which I rather like. I recorded some with them today and it was perhaps a bit on the loud side with regards to the audible pick attack on the strings on the acoustic (a Breedlove C25). But not bad and I was using a sensitive Rode condenser. Haven't played much with them on my electric yet (customized Fender Stratocaster) but I'm sure they will be fine there as well. I like these picks a LOT and am ordering a dozen more to keep around. Good stuff.

We've tried a myriad of picks in our guitar-playing filled household and have settled on these after a few decades of testing. These are the only picks we order now, and they've become a favorite of all musicians who pick them up inside our home for friendly sessions. They are thick enough to create a wonderful sound, easy and convenient to hold, and weighty enough to get out of a sound hole when it inevitably gets dropped into a guitar.

So, I grabbed a 6-pack of these Dava 1303 Delrin Grip Tips Guitar Picks and, let me tell you, they're pretty darn close to guitar pick perfection. If you're on the hunt for something that can keep up with your strumming and picking without slipping or breaking, these might just be your new best friends. The grip on these picks is fantastic. Seriously, it's like they're glued to your fingers (but, you know, without the actual glue). Whether you're into long jam sessions or just noodling around, these picks stay put. The Delrin material gives them a nice, smooth feel, and they seem to glide over the strings with just the right amount of give and take. Sound-wise, they deliver. I've noticed a solid, consistent tone when I use them, which is super important whether you're playing acoustic or electric. They've got this way of making your sound just a bit brighter, a bit more alive. They come in a pack of six, which is great because, if you're anything like me, picks have a way of disappearing into the same black hole as socks. Plus, the quality feels top-notch. I've been using mine for a while, and they're holding up really well - no wear or tear in sight. Why not 5 stars, then? Well, they're almost perfect, but the thickness might not be everyone's cup of tea. They're a bit on the firmer side, which I like, but if you're into a more flexible pick, they might take some getting used to. Also, I wish there were more color options just for the fun of it, but that's just me being picky (pun intended). In a nutshell, the Dava 1303 Delrin Grip Tips Guitar Picks are a solid buy. They've upped my guitar game, and I'm pretty sure they'll do the same for you. Give them a try and see if they don't become a staple in your guitar case.

Awesome pick ...I will never buy anything else 🤤now I sound better ....shred better and feel better .!! excellent.... should have found this a long time ago ....in a galaxy far away that time forgot 🤘🔥🤘

Obviously, finding just the right guitar pick is a very personal thing. Mistakenly, I assumed this slightly larger Delrin pick would have similar qualities to the grippy Dava jazz pick that I so enjoy playing. Other than the Dava brand, it does not. This is a well made Delrin pick with a black contoured finger depression. I was expecting the same soft, grippy, rubberized material like the jazz pick that is so wonderful to play. No such luck. This pick is okay and does provide somewhat more gripping surface than most picks. However, in my opinion, Dava would have a real winner if the black overmolding was a grippy rubberized material.

I used to think a pick was a pick, with the only difference being stiffness. (I should say that I prefer picks of medium stiffness). The only problems I had with "regular" picks was: (1) them slipping in my hand (turning around), (2) out of my hand (on the floor), and, of course, (3) breaking. I decided to give the Dava picks a try. I bought a pack of the "jazz" picks and a pack of these "grip tips". I really thought I'd like the jazz picks better: that they would be easier to grip and more like a regular pick. But, after trying them both, I find these (the grip trips) are now my "pick of choice". They fit my grip perfectly, stay put in my hand, and give me maximum control when I play, whether it's lead or rhythm. I have yet to break one. I'm mainly buying another set because I've given a few away for people to try and I want to have plenty readily available. I like to leave picks laying around my house at various optimum locations, so whenever I pick up a guitar to play, I've got one close by (also always keep a spare in my wallet). Bottom line is, for me at least, these picks are tops! Sure I can still use a regular pick when that's all that's available. But why not use the best when I can??? Update: Been using these picks for a year since my first review. Still love them. Still have yet to break one (and I can be an aggressive strummer). The only reason I need to buy more: I lose them. I have to admit they are a bit pricey, compared to other picks. But for me, they are still tops. Which is why I'm buying another half dozen.

Tried it because recommended by Cory Wong, best pick ever. Never come back

I always like Dava, because its thick, so I can hold better and not easy to drop while I am playing.

Moi qui suis dans le Rock/Metal j'utilise depuis genre 20 ans des Dunlop Jazz3 assez épais. J'ai voulu tester ces Davas et je ne suis pas déçu. Le grip est de bonne qualité, on a un bon maintiens dans les gestes même les plus rapides et les plus nerveux. A voir dans le temps si l'embout rouge ne s'éfrite pas.

Me van genial!

Perfect grip and ergonomics. Nice hardness. A blast to play. A bit expensive but worth the asking price.
