Just wondering what others thoughts were on these picks. I had been wanting to try one for a while so I added it to the top of my Christmas list and got one yesterday. I got the Gold Series Striker XL 1.5mm with a rounded bevel. I have to say that I'm not the least bit impressed with this pick. While I'm grateful for the gift, I'm very disappointed with the sound. The edge, while considered rounded (meaning it has no right or left bevel), has a very sharp edge and is extremely bright. I wasn't expecting it to be as bright as it is. However, the thing that is most disappointing is the inconsistency of the points. My biggest complaint about the acrylic picks was the points all had a different sound. On a triangular pick at least one point would be very scratchy sounding and noticeably brighter than the others. This Gold Series pick I got is the same. Two of the points are bright while the third point is very scratchy and unbearably bright. I think I might be done with expensive picks. Every pick that I have tried over $15 has been disappointing with the exception of Blue Chip.
