The D'Andrea Pro Plec 346 is a 1.5mm thick, rounded triangle guitar pick manufactured in the USA from a specialized, tortoise-shell colored thermoplastic blend. Known for producing a warm, mellow tone, it is highly regarded by mandolin and jazz players for its smooth string release and reduced click.
Key Features of the Pro Plec 346:
Shape: 346 Rounded Triangle (large triangle) allows for a firm grip and three usable playing edges.
Material: Specialized thermoplastic that offers high rigidity, durability, and a "memory" that helps it return to shape.
Gauge: 1.5mm thickness, providing a heavy, rigid feel.
Tone: Designed to offer a warm, mellow, and articulate sound, similar to vintage celluloid, but with a more polished edge for a faster, quieter release.
Finish: Often comes with a "shell" appearance (tortoiseshell) and is designed to be comfortable to hold with a matte finish on many models.
Quantity: 24-piece set.
The Pro Plec series is often praised for being a budget-friendly option that delivers the, "warm, woody" tone usually expected from much more expensive, thick picks.
