John Petrucci
Signature Pick
DUNLOP Petrucci Jazz III
John Petrucci's signature pick, featuring a slightly larger Jazz III shape with his signature precise tip.
Why This Pick?
Petrucci's signature pick is designed for the ultimate in precision and speed. The 1.5mm thickness provides zero flex for lightning-fast alternate picking runs, while the Ultem material delivers bright articulation that cuts through Dream Theater's complex arrangements. The slightly larger Jazz shape gives more grip surface than a standard Jazz III.
