From what I've heard (I don't personally have them), they are great picks. But take notice in that thread that they have some wearing issues. If it were me, I would wait a little while, and save up for the fancier TPXA models, rather than the older models. They deal better with wear and from what people say, the new handles make all the difference in the world.
