Great pick for accompaniment to vocals
The first impression is that they can sound dull, but I realise that’s because they cut some scraping/chirping frequencies that other picks make that you would probably want to cut in a mix anyway. They might not cut through enough in a band setting (where a strummed acoustic might play more of a rhythm part) but for solo acoustic with singing, they were a revelation. Don’t be put off by the initial strum, try it with singing and it really works. With single lines/fingerpicking/flatpicking it has a fantastic round warm sound, but with enough high end to remind you it’s a steel string, but with less pick-click. Probably not a bluegrass pick it you’re aiming for extra twang to compete with a banjo or mandolin, but other than that a great pick.

This is a custom J-180, you can tell from the star inlays on the neck and the lack of a moustache bridge.
