Shop / dunlop tortex guitar picks
Originally released in 1981, Torte picks were initially created as a premium alternative to tortoiseshell. However, Jim Dunlop's innovative invention evolved into something much more than that, carving out its own unique identity and setting the standard for all other picks. By building upon the precision, consistency, and color-coded gauge system introduced with nylon picks, Jim set out to design a pick with a vibrant and sharp attack, enhanced memory and durability, and an improved grip. After deciding on Delrin as the base material, he dedicated over a year to develop a special treatment process to unlock its full potential. This unique treatment process distinguishes Torte picks from all others, providing them with a distinct grip-enhancing matte surface and aggressive attack.
Additionally, Jim expanded on his previous picks' color-coded gauge system to create a vibrant and timeless palette that has now become an industry staple. Due to our adherence to Jim's original formula, Torte picks continue to be our top-selling pick line. Even to this day, we manufacture them at the Dunlop headquarters in Benicia, California. With the introduction of Torte, Jim Dunlop sparked a revolution, forever changing the landscape of picks. The iconic Turtle logo is instantly recognizable, and the vibrant Torte palette has become a recognized symbol for guitar players. Walk into any music store and ask for green or yellow picks, and chances are you'll be presented with a pack of Torte picks in sizes 0.88mm or 0.73mm. Musicians of all genres and playing styles from around the world have chosen Torte picks to accompany them in their passion for music.
For those seeking the durability and vibrant tone of Torte with a larger gripping surface for enhanced control, we offer options catered to their needs. Choose from various gauges, ranging from 0.50mm to 1.14mm, and experience maximum memory and minimal wear. Likewise, Torte picks are also suitable for players who desire a wider gripping surface.
