Does anybody here use these? The advantage is that you can go back and forth from flatpicking to fingerpicking without changing picks. For flatpicking, just press the thumpick to your index finger, and the thumbpick will stay on. You can also go from guitar to mando to banjo to reso to steel without changing picks.

Yeah, these look interesting, I'll have to give them a shot.

I have some Bumble Bees. You can't really flat pick with them (of course, I can't flat pick at all), but you can strum up with your thumb. They have a nice, balanced sound similar to the Speed Pick mediums http://fredkellypicks.com/speed/delrin- ... 4-pcs.html .

Charliea,

What year is your F212XLCE?

charliea · Nov 3, 2012

It's a 2010. Right now it's at the factory. The neck angle could be a lot better, and they're evaluating the situation. That's what you get with an internet purchase, sometimes. I count on Guild to make things right, though. They're good guys.

I do. Have not used anything else for years. They are a bit awkward feeling at first. Is this a thumb pick? Is this a flat pick? Give 'em a try you might like them.
