Thanx for the tip. I will look for them. I was successful today in my
efforts to find more Fender Hard picks, although they had 3 types,
premium celluloid, classic celluloid, and california clear, which
struck me as more of a fashion statement than anything else. The
classic celluloid seemed a little thicker than the premium, although
the flexibility seemed the same. I went with the premium.
