Our Favorite Guitar Picks: Precision, Power, and Creative Potential

Guitar picks might be small, but any seasoned player knows: the right pick can change everything. From your attack and articulation to the way your riffs cut through the mix, pick choice plays a huge role in shaping your sound.

At Prometheus3DP, we’ve tried hundreds—but we keep coming back to two styles that punch way above their weight: Jazz III picks and the Rombo pick. Here’s why.

 The Jazz III: Small, Stiff, and Surgical

If you’ve ever wondered how some players achieve machine-like accuracy with their picking—there’s a good chance they’re using a Jazz III.

Why We Love It:

Compact size = tighter grip and control

Pointed tip = ultra-precise attack

Stiff material = responsive and fast, with no lag

The Jazz III is especially popular among technical players—think shredders, prog metal guitarists, and session players who need speed and expression. Its smaller footprint forces your picking hand to become more deliberate, which can lead to cleaner, more articulate playing.

Bonus: Once you're comfortable with a Jazz III, regular picks feel huge—and a little sluggish.

 The Rombo Pick: Rethinking What a Pick Can Be

We’re always interested in gear that pushes boundaries—and that’s where Rombo picks come in.

These aren't your average triangles. Rombo picks challenge the way you think about grip, articulation, and feel.

Why We’re Excited About Them:

Unique geometric shape: encourages alternate hand positions and new picking approaches

Varied edges and angles: offer different tones and textures depending on how you hold it

Inspires creativity: the non-traditional form factor nudges you to break habits and experiment

This is the kind of pick that makes you stop mid-riff and go, “Whoa—what if I did it this way instead?” It’s ideal for players who love to tinker with technique, tone, and feel.

 The Right Pick = The Right Tool

Here’s the thing: there's no “best” pick—only the one that fits you, your style, and your goals.

• Looking for precision, fast response, and a focused attack? Start with the Jazz III.

• Want something that shakes up your playing and pushes your creative limits? Try a Rombo pick.

And hey—don’t be afraid to rotate between them. Some players keep a few options nearby, depending on the vibe of the day.
