Perfect for heavy riffing
These picks are incredibly sturdy. The 2.5mm thickness gives me total control during fast downpicking sessions, and the grip never slips even when my hands get sweaty.

Studio essential
The consistency in thickness and shape across the whole pack is impressive. No variations means reliable tone recording after recording. The matte finish is a game changer.

Great quality but very thick
The build quality is excellent and the anti-slip texture works as advertised. However, if you are used to thinner picks, these will feel like playing with a small brick at first.

Best picks I've ever owned
I go through picks quickly because I drop them or they wear out. These JTC picks are durable and the grip pattern ensures I never lose control mid-solo. Highly recommended.

Too stiff for strumming chords
While great for lead playing, I found them too rigid for strumming acoustic chords. They don't flex enough, making rhythm playing feel a bit clunky for my style.

Excellent precision
I bought these for jazz comping and single-note lines. The sharp tip allows for incredible articulation, and the stiffness provides a warm, full tone on my archtop.
Q: Are these picks suitable for bass guitar?
A: While primarily designed for electric and acoustic guitars, some bassists do use thick picks like these for a specific attack, though standard bass picks are usually shaped differently.
Q: Does the textured grip wear off over time?
A: The anti-slip texture is molded into the nylon material rather than printed on, so it remains effective throughout the life of the pick unless the pick itself breaks.
Q: How many picks come in one package?
A: Each package contains 10 individual Ibanez JTC 2.5mm picks.
Q: Is this the same pick John Petrucci uses?
A: Yes, this is the signature model based on the specifications John Petrucci uses for his own playing, featuring the same 2.5mm thickness and sharp tip.
Q: Can I use these on classical nylon strings?
A: You can physically use them, but classical guitar technique typically relies on fingernails or flesh. Using a stiff plastic pick may produce a brighter, less traditional tone.
