Description

The Dunlop Gator Grip Standard Guitar Picks, now available in .71 mm. Dunlop's legendary picks are a top choice for today's musicians seeking premium tools for their craft. The Gator Grip incorporates quick-release beveled edges and a textured, matte surface, providing both playability and articulate attack. You can unleash their most thrashing solos and power chords without the pick slipping, thanks to Dunlop's proprietary nonslip coating. Don't sacrifice your tone—choose Dunlop Gator Grip picks.

Textured Surface Provides Unparalleled Grip

The Gator Grip's matte, gritty surface creates friction against the strings, allowing for a firm hold during even the most aggressive techniques. You can perform pinch harmonics, string bends, and rapid tremolo picking with confidence in the pick's stability. The textured polymer material provides tack without being sticky, maintaining sensitivity for dynamic and nuanced playing.

Beveled Edges Enable Quick String Release

The Gator Grip's beveled edges allow for a smooth release off each string during rapid alternate picking or strumming. The angled edges reduce drag, enabling the pick to glide cleanly from string to string. Guitarists can fly through intricate passages and rhythm figures without the pick catching on strings. The beveled design also prevents the pick from sticking in position, for unimpeded transitioning between strings.

Premium Materials and Legendary Quality

Like all Dunlop picks, the Gator Grip is constructed from high-quality, durable materials to meet the exacting standards of professional musicians. The .71 mm gauge provides a versatile thickness suitable for most playing styles. The Gator Grip produces a balanced tone with clarity and punch. Dunlop has been manufacturing premium guitar accessories for over 50 years, collaborating with iconic artists to develop innovative tools that meet the needs of musicians worldwide. The Gator Grip continues this legacy of excellence.

good value for money

I think these will end up being my pick of choice from here on out. I've been experimenting with all kinds and this is the best spin on the traditional pick I've found. I use the 1.14; good, solid, stiff and precise for most types of metal and rock. They seem to be made out of some kind of synthetic (nylon?) plastic-ish material, and have a texture that creates friction. I thought at first that this would be a problem with friction on the tip but a couple of hours of use makes the tip nice and smooth so you end up with a smooth frictionless tip like a traditional plastic pick and a nice textured grip where your fingers are. And on top of all that this material seems extremely durable, the pick seems to be virtually unaffected by pick slides (so far), I usually don't do pick slides because I hate the way they tear up the sides of regular picks. Good picks.

Good, but not great

I do enjoy playing guitar with these picks, but I feel as though they do not give me a real good feel for my playing. I would recommend getting the Dunlop tortex over these picks. These seem to be a bit smaller than the tortex which has caused me a lot of problems when playing. If you are looking for a smaller size pick, then go with these.

    I'm a bass player who doesn't use picks very often. But when I do, these are my go to picks! They are so reliable and easy to use. The thickness of the material works very well on your strings. I'll always recommend Dunlop picks!

  • Good picks. Love the gator series

    I got the .71 Dunlop Gator Grips at my local GC because I needed something thicker than the .5mm Planet Wave delrins that I have been using, which I love but burn through quickly because of the way I attack the strings. But, I still needed a pick that would give me the definition for lead playing. I play mostly old-school heavy/thrash/death metal like Iron Maiden, early Metallica, and Cannibal Corpse, and the 71mm's hold up with all the double-picked speed riffs that I do. They've been doing a good job so far!

    It is mainly a matter of personal preference. I would try a medium to heavy gauge.
