I just got my Wegen picks today. 1.4mm bluegrass. I can't believe how great they feel and sound. The holes that are cut out in them are great for grip. I've never played a pick this thick before, and I can't get over how easy they play. Plus I find that I can speed up my playing a little because of the extra control. As for sound, I hear a big increase in volume and clarity.

I'm sure glad I got them!

My Wegen of choice is the white 1.0 mm Bluegrasspick (with holes). Great grip, great tone and they are loud!

It is funny that so many people say that the black ones are better. I do notice a slight difference in the white vs. black. But Mr. W himself says on his site there is no difference in material, just color.

Weird...

I'm s msjot fan of Wegen picks. I've used Red Bear and they are very nice. I bought mine when they were new and $15 and ocassionally, Dave would run some sales. Blue Chip's seem to be the rage right now, but I won't pay $35 for a pick.
I use the white w/ speed holes and think that I get as good a tone as with anything else. I've heard some people say that they lije the black ones better, but the ease of finding a white one is why I'll stick with white. A great product and they seem to last forever. Count me in as a fan. Art

Got my Wegen Bluegrass 1.0 in the mail yesterday. Got to say I like em! The slightly wider oval than the standard 751's was the only thing I had to get over, but the clarity and tone and volume of this thing is unreal. Matches the tone and volume of anybody's medium pick, but is thick for picking. Strumming is not as easy as with a thin pick, just have to learn pick control. I think I've found my pick for this guitar.

I don't know if anyone is listening to this site anymore but I've been using TF140's for a while and really like them. I was disappointed that no matter how many times I tried to get a hold of Michael Wegen to order some picks in the same shape but thicker I never got a reply. Is there a trick to getting ahold of him?

Jed, I live close to Michael Wegens hometown, and about a year ago i decided to give him a call. He imediately invited me to visit his shop. He not only makes great picks but all the tools he uses where his own design.And he is a great guy. (btw i payed like you for the picks) I use the bluegrass wegens.On the other hand i never had a chance to use tortoiseshell picks. I heard they are great too.
