i am looking to get my hands on some of andy's picks from the early days: ya know the gibson brand - black medium gauged rounded teardrop ones that he stuck extras of underneath his pickguard on the telecaster? still i am trying to determine if andy had his name or some other sort of personal insignia printed on the picks. so if anyone has some of his old picks, do speak up! after all those police tours surely someone grabbed a pick that andy sent flying into the audience?!
Sorry, I only have the one used by Dominic Miller at Sting Tuscany home concert on September 11th 2001... Better than nothing...

wow this is cool too see thanks for sending the link johnny! looks like andy is using really thick picks these days. those linked on the page are in the 1.5 -2.0 mm range. i was wondering why andy's telecaster tone on police songs during this recent tour promo events doesn't have the same sting (no pun intended) that it used to have. those thicker picks will provide a slower articulation and more round tone. i also noticed andy's phrasing is different than it was in the old days... for instance the grooves on message and roxanne just don't have the same drive, and a dramatically different gauge and shape of pick can do that. johnny beane wrote:

Welcome! Yeah they are Dunlop 2.0 picks. He's been using heavy picks for a while now. I use the same ones and also use the 1.5's.
