Shop / dunlop tortex guitar picks
Tortex Picks, made in the USA, are renowned for their exceptional durability, excellent memory, and ideal flexibility. This combination allows for a vibrant and precise attack, producing a bright and crisp sound. Whether you are playing powerful electric solos or strumming gentle acoustic melodies, Tortex Picks offer a universal sonic expression.
Originally introduced in 1981, Tortex Picks were initially designed as a superior alternative to tortoiseshell picks. However, they surpassed this goal and quickly established their own identity, setting a new standard in the industry. Jim Dunlop, the creator of Tortex Picks, built upon the success of his Nylon Picks, utilizing a precise gauge system and consistent manufacturing process. Seeking a pick with a snappy attack, enhanced grip, and unmatched durability, Dunlop selected Delrin as the base material. He then dedicated over a year to developing a unique treatment process to unlock the full potential of the material.
This revolutionary treatment process is what distinguishes Tortex Picks from others in the market. It provides them with an extraordinary matte surface that enhances grip and delivers an aggressive attack. To further innovation, Dunlop expanded on his existing color-coded gauge system. This palette has become an industry standard, renowned for its timeless vibrancy.
Remaining loyal to Jim's original formula, Tortex Picks continue to be our most popular line. We proudly manufacture them at the Dunlop headquarters in Benicia, California. With the introduction of Tortex, Jim Dunlop ignited a revolution, forever transforming the world of picks. The iconic turtle logo is instantly recognizable, and the vibrant Tortex palette has become a universal language among guitar players. When visiting any music store, simply ask for Green or Yellow Picks, and chances are you'll be presented with a pack of Tortex .88mm or .73mm Picks.
Countless musicians worldwide, spanning various genres and playing styles, have chosen Tortex Picks to empower their musical expression. Made in the USA, these picks are trusted by top musicians across the globe. Crafted from the ever-popular Tortex material, they offer not only longevity but also a bright and resonant tone. With maximum memory and minimal wear, Tortex Picks provide a reliable and consistent experience, allowing musicians to focus on what they love.
