Jim Dunlop Max-Grip Jazz III Stiffo Pick 1.38mm – Speed, Precision, and Ultimate Stiffness
The Legendary Jazz III Shape. The Ultimate Max-Grip Surface. The Stiffo Material for Uncompromising Control.
The Max-Grip Jazz III combines the speed, precision, and control provided by the Jazz III shape with our Max-Grip surface for even better handling. This Stiffo version takes that winning formula and crafts it from Dunlop's proprietary Stiffo material—an ultra-stiff, ultra-durable compound that delivers a bright, articulate tone and virtually zero flex. The result is a pick that gives you maximum control, exceptional durability, and the precision that technical players demand.
The Jazz III Shape – Speed and Precision Perfected
The Jazz III shape is renowned for its smaller profile, sharp tip, and fast release. It allows for lightning-fast alternate picking, precise articulation, and effortless string crossing. Whether you're playing blistering solos or complex technical passages, the Jazz III shape gives you the control and speed you need to play at your best.
Max-Grip Surface – The Ultimate Non-Slip Grip
The Max-Grip surface features a carefully engineered coarse grid that provides an unparalleled non-slip grip. Sweat and humidity won't compromise your hold, allowing you to play with confidence and focus on your performance. This is the pick of choice for players who demand extreme precision and durability without losing control.
Stiffo Construction – Ultra-Stiff, Bright, and Built to Last
The Stiffo material is a proprietary compound developed by Dunlop for players who demand the ultimate in stiffness and durability. Unlike nylon, which adds warmth and a softer attack, Stiffo delivers a crisp, cutting sound with enhanced projection and definition. The 1.38mm gauge is already extra-heavy, and the Stiffo material makes it virtually inflexible, giving you maximum control and power for aggressive playing. The result is a pick that sounds as precise as it feels.
The 1.38mm Gauge – Extra-Heavy for Maximum Power and Precision
The 1.38mm Max-Grip Jazz III Stiffo is an extra-heavy pick that offers virtually no flex. This stiffness provides maximum control, volume, and articulation, making it ideal for aggressive rhythm playing, heavy riffing, and precise lead work where every note needs to cut through with authority. The 1.38mm gauge is perfect for:
-
Metal and Shred: The stiffness and Jazz III shape are a match made in heaven for fast, technical playing.
-
Precise Lead Playing: Enough rigidity for fast, articulate single-note lines and solos, with zero pick flex to get in the way.
-
Aggressive Rhythm: Solid attack and chunky chord definition for high-gain styles.
-
Bass Guitar: Many bassists prefer the 1.38mm for its powerful attack and minimal flex.
