Jim Dunlop Hetfield’s White Fang Custom 1.14mm Flow Guitar Pick Tin (PH122T114)

As probably the most greatest riff masters of all time, James Hetfield needs gear that performs as monstrously as he does—picks included. When he came to Dunlop in search of a pick to meet his high standards, we worked closely with him to create a solution that keeps up with and even enhances his performance. We used the Drift Standard Pick 1. 0mm as our starting point. The thrash titan put it through a full battery of tests on the road and came back to us with the tweaks and adjustments he needed to make it just right. First, we incorporated the Black Fang Pick’s blended beveled edges for a super snappy attack that rings out with bright articulation, ensuring that every note and chord makes an affect through all that speed and gain. Next, we made it a bit heavier, going to 1. 14mm—not in most cases to be had in the usual Drift Pick line—for the easiest balance between mass and articulation. Lastly, we enhanced the grip, creating a custom pattern so that the pick stays put when Hetfield digs in. “The White Fang Pick has amazing grip when sweating from heavy riffing, and a smaller profile to go faster, ” he says. “Plus, the white is easier to see when they get thrown into the crowd. ”
