I haven't seen these before, but I have ordered 3 different styles to try.
 
Right now my favorite is the jazz amber pick from picks and stones, but it is fairly expensive and is already showing wear marks.

Hello Russ --
 
Thanks for the head's up on the V-Picks -- my first order arrived Friday, and I'm already a convert! I find them to be even faster than the Stubbies, with an even smoother release. Highly recommended!

I have made my 2nd order of V-Picks. They made much more of an impression on me than the Adamas pick did. The small pointed is now my new favorite pick.
 
Thanks to Russ (zappahead) for pointing them out. I would have never found out about them otherwise. I keep holding out on ordering a Colossal (8.85 mm thick) or a Insanity (11.85 mm thick), but I know it will eventually happen just because I want to see one.
 
Todd.
 
ps. Did you just have a Phiga Casta on ebay?

Hey Guys...where does 2mm fall in terms of Fender's thin, med, heavy and extra heavy picks?

tdukes

I couldn't find anything on the Fender site. Wikipedia has a chart that says:
 
Text description Approximate thickness Other possible marks   mm inch   Extra light/thin = 1.50 >= .060
 
Who knows how accurate it is? But, that would put 2mm as way thick.

The dark purple one in the Dunlop Delrin 500 series is 2 mm.

 
It could be 'cause I'm used to big old bass strings, but on guitar I can't get used to those floppy picks.
