I bought these about 2 years ago and I'm still holding the same one I started with. So, the paint chips easily, who cares!?! It gives it a nice worn look that comments the flames, so people shouldn't be ratting on it. I am pleased with this decision.

i got my first one about 3 years ago. my mom bought it for me cause it looked cool. being a beginning guitarist i didnt really appreciate a stellar pick and i abruptly lost it. but as soon as i got a new box i was in love. these picks are absolutely perfect. the design wears away fairly fast but that doesnt bother me. once you figure out a way to hold onto your picks they just keep getting better. in 3 years ive only broken 1 of these picks. and i play lead in a death metal band. these picks are extremely sturdy. and the longer you use them the more the picks mold to your fingers and your style. i would and have recommended these picks to many people.

I bought a dozen Clayton flame picks (the 1.26mm) about 2 years ago and they are absolutely my favorite picks! The flame imprint wears away before the pick even starts to go bad. I prefer these over any other brand I have tried thus far (and that's about 4 or 5 name brands including Fenders). The bottom line is that these picks really do last and the thick ones I buy have done well at withstanding the scratching up and down the strings that I love to do playing classic tunes. One or two scratches on other brands leaves you with cuts worn into the pick. Buy these! They last and they look cool.

The Clayton Flame Picks have been amazing to me. I bought a dozen four or so years ago, and have always lost them before I've been able to wear them down. The only complaint I have is that the flames do tend to rub off. But it's definately one of the best picks in terms of playing, as it can handle some pretty insane strumming speeds without slipping from someone's hands. I've only dropped them a few times, but that's because I was playing "Smooth Criminal" in cut time. I can't imagine even using any other pick to pull that off, so these picks are always my top choice when playing.

I got these picks because I thought they looked pretty cool. When I got them, I was kind of disappointed because the flames are only on one side-the other side is white. They play and sound nice, and they look nice, too, but after a short time the design comes off. They might last longer if you don't have steel strings, though. I don't especially recommend them.
