i think this is in the wrong section. but anyway....

i ordered separate picks from southord because those pick sets are a bit expensive . there are a bunch of threads about which picks to buy. for example my thread ;) viewtopic.php?p=304360#304360

hi braveheart why not just get a southord 22 piece set and modify it with other picks if needed? such as a fine set from locknewbie21/raimundo or chaotic?
if everyone who tried something new liked it but didnt bother telling anyone else there would never be anything new to try...

How many of those picks are you going to use? If you think you'll just use a hook and half diamond, spend $9 to get Petersons and make your own wrenches.

I vote MPSX-20... but yeah, that's if you want one of those sorts of sets... you might benefit from a couple of individual order petersons ^^,

The quality of the pick is supposed to be better. I have never used them so I am not certain about the differences.
