Ibanez Guitar Picks (PJTC1), Black, 2.5mm

I have been searching for the perfect pick for years. These are the closest I've found. They took a little getting use to and are super super easy to lose since they are clear. But they sound excellent. Beautiful clean and sharp attack. Perfect for playing fast jazz or progressive runs up and down the neck. Glide through the strings on sweeps. Don't chrips or scratch when playing fast and heavy. Just keep track of them

I love playing thins for the snappiness. These retain all the high end in a pick with a really nice bevel. These are next level. Very durable. Good size if you like jazz iii’s. These work really well! Try them out:)

The PJTC1 picks are made of a new material, which is similar to V-picks. The claim is that the PJTC1 performs better in several ways, such as tone, grip, and playing characteristics due to the material, the polished beveled edge, and the overall contour. I have a pretty extensive collection of V-picks, but none of them has really become a favorite for a variety of reasons, and lately it seems the material used to make them has declined in quality. I will continue to buy and use V-picks, because they are innovators and I like experimenting with different pick designs, but Ibanez has a winner with the PJTC1. In short, it lives up to its claims and what other reviewers have said about it. The sound is excellent whether you're playing single-note lines or chord melody, and there is no "chirp" as you bring the edge of the pick up against the string. The tip of the pick is fairly pointed, similar to a Jazz III (Guthrie Govan's go-to pick), which allows precision timing, especially in fast passages, but not so pointed as to make you worry about penetration depth all the time. The contouring and polishing of the edge allows a lot control over the sound (I use a George Benson grip for most purposes but switch 90 degrees to parallel the strings for strumming). The stickiness is a plus in the V-pick, but the PJTC1 seems to have improved on this feature. For example, I have noticed that the stickiness of a V-pick can begin to create drag on the string a tiny bit as the pick warms up, but that just doesn't happen with the PJTC1. At the same time, the PJTC1 does NOT rotate as you use it. In other words, it stays in place, but without feeling sticky. I don't know how they do this, but I know I like it. The pick is hard as a diamond and has absolutely no flex, so if you want a little "snap" to accompany the release, you won't find it unless you manufacture it in your grip (that is, let it wobble by loosening your grip --- if you do that, it's not going to fall on the floor). On the other hand, if you like positive control, the lack of snap is a good thing. I find I can control this pick like a surgeon's scalpel, which has improved my speed. The contour of the pick allows for funk strumming and fast single-note lines with good control over dynamics. This pick has become one of my favorites and I would recommend it without reservation. I play jazz mostly, single-line and chord melody, but I also play some folk and country for fun. For that I tend to prefer a medium Fender-type pick turned sideways, but the PJTC1 is adaptable for that kind of music, too. I kinda doubt that any one pick "has it all," but this pick coordinates with most of my everyday uses.

always searching for picks these work best for clear lead lines , very fast on string. not always suitable for some strumming work overall nice addition to collection of picks

Nice clear sound. Doesn't get scratchy high end when you angle it, but is still great for flat picking. I like the material its made from (a form of polyester they say) because it doesn't slide around or fall out of your hand even if you're sweaty. Can't have that happening. Lastly...they seem to wear quite slowly. I've put these up against 13 gauge acoustic strings, and 13-74 string on my 7 string J. Custom.......no visible wear when I compare to the unused ones still in the pack. My favorite pick is still my bronze picks, but this is a right there with them.

Too expensive. Good pick if you are looking for something with a nice, resilient point and a plucky, chimy sound. The issue I have with these is that they are literally the thickness of almost two, American quarters stacked onto each other. Who uses picks this thick on guitar?

This is now my main goto pick. The size is kind of small, so check the measurements, but it's what I wanted and just the right "hold" for fast picking. If they were maybe .25 thicker and had a hand milled scratchy edge, they would be ideal for me. They are defiinitly a professional's pick, and they do seem to stay in your fingers thanks to the material they are made of, though I'd still like a roughened surface or some mode for gripping. Maybe if they had perforations. As I say, this is my main go to pick now, I don't know if I will ever find the perfect pick, but these are pretty close.

These have a light bevel on them with a pointy tip and make for an excellent pick to practice shredding on. My main picks used to be 0.75 - 1mm flat ones despite mainly practicing lead guitar, but I was convinced that these will be me new go-to after first try. The material feels durable enough and they look super cool too. Like glass picks or something. Also these are pretty affordable when compared to something like Gravity picks, which I have a collection of. Doesn't matter anymore, since I like these so much more. Will definitely pick up another pack.

Hier möchte ich gerne die Plektren vom Ibanez x JTC bewerten. Meine Bewertung gliedert sich wie folgt auf: 1. Verarbeitung/Qualität/Haltbarkeit 2. Optik 3. Handling 4. Klang 5. Fazit 1️⃣ Die Verarbeitung ist wirklich super. Keine abstehenden „Nasen“, keine scharfen Kanten und ein absolut klares und cleanes Design und somit sehr unauffällig. Bis jetzt halten sie sehr viel aus. Auch nach mehrmaligen und längeren spielen sehe ich noch keine Abnutzung an der Spitze. 2️⃣ Wie schon in Punkt 1 geschrieben haben sie ein absolut klares und cleanes Design. Somit sehr unauffällig aber doch edel. Bei keinem Plektrum sehe ich ein Makel in der Durchsichtigkeit. Wirklich top. Auch weisen sie absolut keine Kratzer auf. 3️⃣ Ich habe tatsächlich noch nie mit Plektren in dieser Stärke (2,5 mm) gespielt und war etwas skeptisch und hatte Angst, die Saiten nicht mehr so zu „fühlen“. Es bestätigte sich keiner meiner Sorgen. Die Plektren spielen sich unglaublich gut. Man kann mit ihnen super langsame aber auch hervorragend schnelle Stücke spielen. Durch ihre Form liegen sie wirklich sehr gut und angenehm in der Hand, ohne, dass es anstrengend wird. Ebenfalls spürt man die Saiten sehr gut. Gerade durch die hervorragende Spitze trifft man präzise die Saiten. 4️⃣ Der Klang durch die Plektren ist wirklich super gut. Man hört es nicht beim Anschlag, was ich sehr gut finde (hab ich schon anders erlebt). Meiner Meinung nach klingt die Gitarre durch diese Picks ein weniger aggressiver, aber das gefällt mir sehr gut. Auch hier kommt es aber drauf an, in welchen Einstellungen man sie spielt und vor allem welche Gitarre man hat (greift sie den Ton so exakt auf oder nicht). 5️⃣ Die Plektren sind wirklich der Hammer und ich kann sie für diesen Preis uneingeschränkt empfehlen. Super Stärke, super Handling und die Optik runden das Gesamtpaket ab. Absolut zu empfehlen und meiner Meinung nach mit die besten Picks auf dem Markt (auch in Hinblick auf Preis-Leistung).

Comprato quasi per gioco dopo aver ricevuto una mail pubblicitaria che ha saputo incuriosirmi mi sono ritrovato, inaspettatamente, tra le mani il plettro perfetto, almeno per me. E' comodissimo sia per quanto riguarda lo spessore che l'impugnatura (estremamente saldo, non mi scivola né si sposta tra le dita), i bordi smussati si adattano perfettamente all'angolazione che utilizzo per la plettrata, sia alternata che in sweep picking. Non l'ho provato per fare ritmica, ma credo nasca esplicitamente per i chitarristi solisti ed è quello l'utilizzo che ne faccio. E' anche estremamente resistente, per ora non ha alcun segno di usura. Ho deciso di adottarlo come plettro definitivo, ma ovviamente la plettrata è una cosa così soggettiva che l'unico modo per vedere se fa al caso vostro è comprarlo e provarlo.

I love the sound of it but the size doesn’t fit me. A slightly larger size and 3 millimeter thickness and I would stock up asap.

We first bought these as a Christmas gift for my son’s guitar teacher after he told me that he liked using acrylic picks but had a hard time finding them and he said these were great. Not to be out done, my son wanted them too after seeing his teacher gush over them, so we had to get them for him too.

These picks have a distinct feature common to boutique picks on the market: They are thick in the grip area, tapering down to a narrower width at the pick tip. These make them comfortable to hold, and reduce hand fatigue. The material is very durable, and the sharp point makes shredding easy.
