collapse expand iconDescription

Developed in close collaboration with Metallica's legendary frontman and rhythm guitarist James Hetfield, these picks provide the attack, articulation and control needed for his punishing riffs and leads. Dunlop customized the pick to Hetfield's exacting standards after extensive road testing. They incorporated the blended beveled edge of the Black Fang Pick for biting tone and increased thickness to 1.14mm for ideal heft. An enhanced grip pattern ensures these picks stay put even when the riffing gets intense. The smaller profile allows for faster playing, and the white color stands out when tossed to eager fans.

Blended Beveled Edge for Bright Articulation

The blended beveled edge of the White Fang Pick enables a crisp attack that accentuates every note. This edge shape allows the pick to glide effortlessly across the strings while still providing enough resistance for accurately picked passages and power chords. The beveled edge, combined with the wide angle and sharp tip, yields the focused and punchy tone Hetfield demands.

Enhanced Grip for Control Under Pressure

An enhanced grip pattern on the White Fang Pick provides superior control even when riffing at high speeds or in challenging conditions. The custom pattern helps keep the pick securely in place when digging into the strings, allowing for consistent tone and technique. This non slip grip delivers the control and confidence needed for nailing Hetfield's intricate rhythms and speedy solos in front of roaring crowds.

1.14mm Thickness for Ideal Mass

At 1.14mm, the White Fang Pick provides enough thickness for a meaty and substantial tone without sacrificing playability. This customized gage offers the ideal balance of mass and flexibility for executing complex riffs with power and precision.

Smaller Profile for Faster Playing

A smaller pick profile allows for nimbler playing, enabling rapid picking passages and seamless transitions between power chords and single notes. The compact size makes the White Fang Pick ideal for tackling Hetfield's speed-of-light riffs as well as navigating the frets with precision for complex solos. Players of all skill levels will appreciate how the smaller profile complements versatile and dynamic playing styles.

I will buy this products again

I loved the old black fang picks and when I herd they were coming out with a new hetfield pick I knew I had to get it. The white fang is honestly the best pick I have ever used. The sharp point on the flow Body makes an amazing combo. This pick is amazing for all types of rhythm playing which is what I focus on mainly. But the small amount of lead that I play these picks make me want to start doing more lead playing. Everything sounds better with these picks. These might be the only kind of picks I ever buy from now on.

Very poor picks

Poor quality. Ink wears off very quick leaving your fingers black. They sound very crispy. Like really treble is maxed out.

    I purchase these pics because I'm a fan of Metallica. I did not realize how in love I would be with them. Typically I like pics that are at least 1.5 mm thick I purchased the 1.14 and I love them. They fit very well in my hands and the texture on the pic makes it that they won't fall out of my hands while playing. I highly recommend these pics for anybody that gets sweaty hands when they play!

    I think these Hetfield picks are a good size and a good thickness. I also like how there's some grip on them, which helps the pick stay put in your fingers especially when you're playing fast songs with lots of strumming. I don't have any complaints about them and would get them again.

  • Perfect picks

    Perfect for the fast strummer. The jazz too and grips make it a great pick. #sweepstakes

    While picks may be a personal preference, I strongly recommend you give these a try if you haven't already. Great texture to keep your pick stabilized in your hand and a good thickness for faster paced playing.

  • Great product wasn't sure at first but very much worth it.

    I was apprehensive about purchasing picks that cost more than $5 per pack. But I was very much please and impressed. First the feel of these is great, nice and slim but not too thin. There is still plenty of meat on this to dig in, plus there is the grip texture which feels amazing
