I bought my Fender picks from my local guitar shop in town.[/QUOTE]
I have both an older and a newer Fender 358, and they are essentially the same size top to bottom.

Interesting. I just heard back from Osiamo.
"Regarding the size of the picks, sometimes Pickboy produces smaller size jazz picks for the
Japanese market. I'm checking with them to see if we received an incorrect batch. I'll
get back to you when I hear from them and let you know if we can get you the size pick
that you ordered and want."

310 is large!
Just a moment...

354 looks very similar to 358 (in shape) but I cannot figure out the size...

354 looks bigger and longer than 358. I guess we can conclude that 358 is the smallest.

347 looks smaller than 358... or, at least, shorter and with a more rounded shape. Interesting and probabily worth a try.
But I'm happy enough with 358... I'm not gonna go out of my way to try one (unless I come across one).

In the photo, between a Tortex and a Fender (for comparison), two Ernie Balls: the white one (slightly bigger/longer than the black one) is 2mm, the black one is 1.5mm. Of all my 358s they're the ones with the most pointed tip.
Just got them today and will take some time to try them properly tomorrow. Got them from one of three main guitar shops in my town, all three have 358s but each shop has only one brand of 358s. One has Tortex, one has Fenders and one has Ernie Balls.

Red sound different than black, A primegrip 96 is close but not as bright. What I like is the pick is loud and bright and all overtones can be heard (really loud!) I tried a standard size nylon but the raised writing gets in the way. The thickness on the picks below is 1.14 . I went on Sw water and amazon and it was like 2 different Dunlop company's. In short, a standard size of the one below with a smooth edge would be the ticket. Any suggestions appreciated.

Does anyone know the difference between a Proplec 351 and a 651?
Have they sorted out their material so they don’t warp anymore?
Thanks,
Rustic
