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

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.

I bought these multiple times as stocking stuffers for our son who plays electric guitar & bass guitar. He loves the thickness as well as the grip. They are his favorites.

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.

The feel is comfortable, I like these for playing my acoustics, haven't tried yet with electrics. I like the comfort and sound from aggressive and normal strumming, quick response and they are very durable. Have used them before so I knew what to expect. I hold my picks kind of loosely, so I appreciate the extra grip that keeps them from flying away during faster songs. Little pricy, but worth it if you like a thick feeling pick in hand that still delivers a medium to medium light pick stroke.

Maybe these just aren't for me but I highly dislike them

I have trouble holding onto picks. I've tried just about everything and these are the best I have found so far. Just one thing I didn't like was trying to order the 36 piece Gel ones on 2 occasions and getting a 12 pack of cheap picks both times. But if you do get the right ones they are great.

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.

Enjoying just strumming, a little bit thin for my usual playing.

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.
