I've used so many picks over the years, but fairly recently, I've switched to the 1.5mm Classic Standard pick from Gravity Picks.

I bought a GHS Pedal (the Bonsai), and they shipped a Gravity unpolished standard pick with it. For some reason, I used it on whim, and I was hooked. I ended up buying custom picks from them, and always the Classic Standard 1.5mm unpolished. There's something about the unpolished edge which gives me just enough bite, on either my acoustics or electrics.

Of course, as I've gotten older, I no longer like particularly flexible picks, which I used to favor as a younger player. As my picking technique has improved, I've found that non-flexible picks just work better for me, and the tone I like. And Gravity Picks just give me that. If you haven't used them before, they're worth trying, if you like thicker, less flexible picks.

Yes, they're expensive. But, so worth it. Well, works for me, anyway. Cheers.

I've been using the Dunlop tortex picks for years. I generally go with .73mm, .88mm, or 1mm. I'm not sure they have any impact on the sound but I like the texture, it isn't just a matte finish, it's almost velvety.

I use different picks for different guitars, but they're all Dunlop. The Tortex standard .88-1.14 are my general purpose gotos. I've dabbled a bit recently with the TIII picks in the same thickness, usually go back to standard though. For my more shreddy guitars and tunes a nylon Jazz III. I've tried the Stubby Jazz a few times, but inevitably back to the nylon III. For acoustic I'll often do either celluloid for chords or finger picking.
