Fender picks 354 vs 358 (size)

[docdosco]

I can never remember which is the smaller one. One is comfortable for me and I have quite a few but I have discarded the original Fender box of with the number on it. Pictured on the right row are the ones I like. Th Gibson pictured is like the large Fender 347 and the no name brand white is slightly smaller that the ones I like. I don't want to order 72 of the wrong shape. Any help would be appreciated....

Hard to tell scale from a pic like that, but dollars to doughnuts: the Fenders on the right are 358. The only pick I've used since 1969. I've burned thru a truckload or 3.

Happy to mail you one if you want to be 100% sure. Just PM your address.

BTW: I've been buying through Amazon Prime the last few years. Their return policy is solid if you order wrong.

Those Fender Heavy oval/teardrops 347s are a particular favorite of mine.

The 358 resembles the 347. It's narrower.

Westville makes killer 347 style picks. They call them "egg" shape.

There is a thread about Westville picks here.

Right, but my 347s are almost twice the size of my 358s. I wish the 347 was the same size...

Thanks guys....

The 354 and 358s are similar but one is smaller.

I think the one like is the 354....

As Goldylocks said... smaller one is just a bit too small and the larger one just a little to big.... and the middle one is just right.

I do like the celluloid material though.

I appreciate the offer. I have a bunch of what I think are the 354s which I also think are the bigger size in comparison. I prefer the older white ones that have been discontinued so I ordered some a few years back. They are smoother to the touch than the tortoise. So I keep an eye out for them on Ebay. I just get the 2 mixed up.

All my white Fender teardrop picks have evaporated except one. And since they are discontinued, I don't want to make a mistake and order the wrong ones that I would have to return from a private seller...

The picks in my pic are indeed Fender 354, even though the one pictured here looks likes like a 358 with the pointer end. That is what makes it so confusing...

I found the white 354's in my local corner music store and they had a small drawer full. I bought 30 and may go back and clean them out as these are no longer made. Probably have had these for years and years...

So all well that ends well...

I've been searching for years for Fender white heavy 354 picks, if anyone has any they'd like to sell or trade (I have Blue Chip, Fender white vintage 358, Red Bear, Dugain, you name it ... ) please reach out!
