Stringjoy 1.5mm Dagger Acrylic Picks - 2 pack
Stringjoy 1.5mm Dagger Acrylic Picks - 2 pack
A guitar pick is one of the smallest pieces of gear in your entire rig, yet changing it can make your picking hand feel like it's been issued a completely different set of instructions. The Stringjoy 1.5mm Dagger Acrylic Picks are for players who want something substantially more precise and rigid than the usual thin plastic plectrum, with a sharp profile, beautifully smooth string release and a reassuringly solid feel.
The Dagger sits in the middle of Stringjoy's acrylic pick shapes. It's larger than the compact Pocketknife but less elongated than the Longsword, making it a cracking all-rounder for players who want enough material to grip comfortably without carrying a small dinner plate between their fingers.
At 1.5mm thick, there's very little unwanted flex. That gives you a direct connection between picking hand and string, particularly useful for single-note lines, alternate picking, articulate rhythm work and controlled lead playing. Instead of the pick bending before the note speaks, the Dagger responds immediately – handy when precision matters and especially satisfying if you've spent years wondering where half your picking attack went.
The material is acrylic, chosen for its light weight, durability and smooth action across the strings. Stringjoy hand-bevels these picks to encourage an easy release, helping the edge move cleanly across the string rather than feeling like it's fighting its way through it. Acrylic also contributes very little extraneous pick noise, keeping the emphasis where it belongs: on the note.
There's a textured Stringjoy logo and Dagger graphic on the surface too, providing additional purchase for your fingers. It's a particularly welcome touch on a thick, polished acrylic pick, where good grip can make the difference between confident picking and firing an expensive plectrum towards the drummer halfway through the second verse.
They're durable too – considerably more so than the sort of cheap pick that develops a suspiciously rounded tip after an enthusiastic rehearsal. And because Stringjoy supplies two picks per pack, you've got a spare ready for the inevitable moment one disappears into the mysterious parallel universe apparently located underneath every pedalboard.
Small accessory, surprisingly big change in feel. If you like thick picks, precise attack and very little flex, the Dagger is aptly named.
