Since .88 and 1 have the best sound and wear resistance, I decided to buy this terrible 1.5. But here the METHERIAL is completely different (not wear-resistant). The pick is very dull from the factory and it is impossible to make it sharper, since it wears off by a millimeter per minute of play and becomes just as dull as it was initially super fast. The sound may be normal, but it is very quiet, since it is simply difficult to hit the string with such a blunt pick, it slides off the string.
