Your cart is empty.Originally only available as part of the Kirk Hammett Pick Tin, players can now get Kirk’s personal pick in a 6-piece Player’s Pack. Once the axe-wielding Metallica madman first got his hands on a Jazz III pick , he never looked back-its superior speed, precision, and control changed his whole playing experience. Eventually, he took to customizing it himself for even better handling by cutting a V-shape out of the grip. Based on that modification, we created the Kirk Hammett Signature Jazz III Pick so you can keep a regular supply of the same pick Kirk uses on the road and in the studio.

been using these for a few years now, lost a few but thats normal. There smaller then your normal picks but the thickness is great it gives you variety ways to use the pick. the kirk Hammett signature gives you a grip type feel. For this amount its great including the clear sounds and great durability. Great for the value of money

Dunlop makes some of the best guitar picks in the industry. Modeled off of the actual picks used by some of your favorite artists, their Artist Series puts the same guitar pick used by your idol, right in your very hands.Not a knock-off or a cheaper version. These are the real deal picks that are spec'd out by the artists themselves.These are the actual picks that Kirk Hammett currently uses while on tour. If you've ever seen them in concert, these bright green picks are hard to miss on every microphone stand on their stage.Multiple gauges to choose from so look for your desired thickness and give them a try.For the value, yes it may seem a bit much for 6 picks. But, like a lot of things, you're paying a premium for the Artist Series picks.Would I buy these again? I bought these as a gift for a die-hard Metallica fan. I would absolutely buy these again as a gift or for the cool tin itself.

At first they felt a bit weird in my hand because they are smaller than a standard pick. After using them for a while I found that I prefer the size and the thickness. Excellent picks just wish they sold these in a bigger pack.

Years ago, I had a guitar instructor tell me to use the Jazz III for accuracy, speed, and tight playing. I've been using them for years until I moved to the Jazz III max grip. I tried this custom pick and it is at least one step better than the Jazz III max grip. I would still slip with the max grip, and this pick actually doesn't slip at all for me. I'll definitely be buying these going forward. 5 out of 5 stars.

I do the black Jazz 3 which move around in my pinches compared this notched, and it's because the knuckle at the finger tip rests in that groove, so then it can't bounce under the shock loads gnarly players do a lot of. And it was a bit sketchy with the all slick sides. The black 3's have rough traction, but this is slix sides...that stick to the sweating fingers like gecko grippers. And then there is the mileage I get out of them. I saw off the edges of this black jazz 3's in just one each session, and then I get a new one because they're soft. With out a new edge on it, I lose the frigidity slipping off my up-strike or something, but these Kirk Hemmers let me stitch over several more sessions than one. So there's no reason not to get these every time. Pff! On the reelszz

A buddy of mine and myself trade picks back and forth. He'll get a bunch and send me one of each and I'll do the same. Sometimes they're from concerts and directly from the stage, sometimes, like these, just another "signature" pick (if it was his actual signature pick he'd only have one style!).Anyways, one of the picks was one of these. I picked it out of the others in this latest bag of plastic goodies because of the odd shape & glitter design, it stands out among the rest. So I grabbed my Les Paul and ripped through a few =VH= tunes and finished up with "Sanitarium" so the ghost of Cliff didn't come and kick my ass. When I was done I was happy. You're not going to drop them. The lettering on both sides is high enough that these have a superior grip to the regular black Jazz III picks but that cutout feels a bit weird to me...it feels like you're losing your grip on the pick bc of that empty spot, it's odd. Speed is a little slower than the originals or the Eric Johnson's. These will do in a bind but I wouldn't use them if I couldn't make a mistake like at a gig or in the studio unless I got used to the feel.If you want to increase your speed within a week of buying a new pick then buy the original black Jazz III picks by Dunlop. Those increased my speed so much.

Pros- Good quality material.- Improved my picking speed (Down & alternate)- Has Good grip because of the protruding Kirk Hammett Signature on it.Cons- Strumming might be a bit difficult because of the small size.

These are good picks overall. The green nylon is the same material as the red jazz picks, and the green dye doesn't seem to sound any different than the red ones. The cutout is cool and does help hold them, plus the added bonus of being able to pick with that side for some cool sounds.The drawback, however, is the size. These are tiny, tiny, tiny. I know that's what Kirk wanted in his pick, but personally my all time favorite pick is the red Jazz III XL.If Dunlop made these in XL I would switch over to them immediately. For now, however, I'll stick to Red XL's. The larger size just feels way better in my hands, and does not impact picking speed at all. Someone tell Dunlop we need these in XL.

Excelente herramienta.Esta plumilla (o cualquier otra de otro tipo/marca) no te convertirá instantaneamente en el mejor guitarrista de la historia. Simplemente es una plumilla, prácticamente cualquiera te servirá para tocar. PERO realmente es una herramienta y un aspecto importante que influye en la manera en que tocas e incluso en el sonido que produces con tu guitarra.Si bien tampoco estamos hablando de un cambio muy marcado en lo que al tono se refiere, sí está ahí, sí se percibe.En cuanto a tu manera / estilo de de tocar, la diferencia es más notable.En el caso esta Jazz III de Kirk Hammettt, encontré que me ayudó a incrementar la movilidad de la mano derecha (rasgeo con mano diestra). Al principio se siente extraño por el tamaño algo reducido de esta Jazz III en comparación con la mayoría de las plumillas. Pero al poco tiempo te acostumbras y empieza la "transformación".En mi experiencia, mejoré en la velocidad y agilididad. Siento más fluidez en la muñeca. También me hizo ser más preciso para tocar cuerdas de manera indvidual (al tocar "licks" o solos y algo "alternate picking").Se puden notar más los cambios al probar de nuevo con otras plumillas. Fue gratificante darme cuenta de ello.Sigo utilizando otros tipos de plumillas (tortex, herco holy grail, etc) porque me gusta estar variando y tener esos a veces sutiles pero pereceptibles cambios de tono. Pero despúes de haber utilizado éstas plumillas, me dan ganas de utilizarlas más las otras.Definitivamente las recomiendo,

I've used Dunlop Tortex picks for years and never imagined I would prefer another pick.If I had reviewed this product the first day I used them, I'd have probably given them two stars. I used one for a while then said "well, that was a waste of ten bucks."Later that day, I was playing on the couch and the only pick nearby was one of these Hammett picks. Too lazy to go get one of my trusty Tortex picks, I started jamming with this one.Once I started getting used to it, I noticed that my accuracy seemed a bit better. Intrigued, I decided to keep using the pick to see if it was just a placebo. Well, it wasn't. I've been using these picks for a few days now and I've never felt so accurate and in-control of my picking hand. I think it's because the small size forces you to choke down on the tip, which improves accuracy.After a few days, I tried a Tortex again and it felt HUGE! My playing felt sloppy as well. So, I think I'm a complete convert.
