Plectrum (singular)
Plectra (plural)

I have a number of the "official" Adamas graphite ones; they're very thick, not to everyone's liking. They do slide easily on the strings, though. I have them more for the novelty, I prefer the fake tortoise ones (Tortex, Read Bear and Blue Chip) for tone.

I had to answer the phone and ran out of time to finish: I have used the graphite pick's and still have several in my collection: I generally do not like pick's that are that thick...I use either Dunlop Tortex .60mm or Dunlop Nylon .60mm...and I do like the Mel Bay green .60mm reissues as well...

I like V-Picks. Nice! Very fast across the strings.

Otherwise, Dunlop .90's or 1.14's.

Just haven't pulled the trigger on the Adamas graphite ones yet, but I will.

I have one that G8r gave me last year, but I prefer Dunlop stubbies (2mm). Maybe I'm the only one here who thinks the graphities too thin.
