Looking for a certain thumb pick

[Hendrik]

When I bought a guitar last year, the seller included some (old) thumb picks. I've played with one for quite some time now and I really, really love it. The problem is that I don't know which brand it is. The color is white, medium thickness and the shape looks a lot like the blue Herco Flex 52 thumb pick. The Herco is only much thinner and the pick is longer (that's why I dislike it). The white thumb pick has 'Japan' stamped on the underside.

I've included some (comparison) pictures. Hope you guys can help me out!

Take a look at what Dunlop has to offer (google it) They may have that style
and go see what eldrly.com has to offer too.

Thanks for tip Norm, but I have done that a lot of times. I have several brand thumb picks laying here, and the Herco is one of the closest ones. The famous Dunlop medium also looks like it but that pick is much wider and a bit thinner.

That's why I thought I ask the fellow Chetboarders .

The blue one looks exactly like my John Pearse thumb pick, except it´s white. it says John Pearse on the top.

The blue one looks like an Ernie Ball from the 70's . . .

I still have some of the EBs, and I really like the multi-colored ones too . . .



Sorry for the poor quality photos; I shot 'em with my cell phone camera . . .

Could it be one of these? http://fredkellypicks.com/regular.html/

looks like a Fender Thumbpick?

Always a tough thing when you get hooked on something like that.

I try to keep my accessory items (strings and picks) to things that any well stocked music store should routinely have.

I re-shape my pick blades so I'm not likely to get cornered on picks but when I do buy picks and find something I like I get a dozen.

Thanks a bunch everyone! I appreciate the tips.

Vidar and Mike, my blue thumb pick is really a Herco. Maybe my white one is a John Pearse? I should get one of those.

Dan and J Ewan, it also looks similar to a Fred Kelly regular and a Fender medium pick. Also have to try those.

Norm, it's indeed a tough thing. I would definitely buy a dozen of them, but because I didn't bought this pick myself it's harder to get it. It could be that they aren't made anymore...

Hmmm...

Yes, the white one is shaped similar to the John Pearse Vintage. Fender also has one with a very similar shape. This shape is also quite similar to the Dunlop 9001R.
