The
Long Story.
First
released in 1981, Tortex®
Picks were originally intended to
be a high quality replacement for tortoiseshell. Jim
Dunlop’s trail-blazing creation
became so much more than that, however, establishing its own identity
and becoming the new standard by which all other picks are judged.
Building
on the precision, consistency, and color-coded gauge system he
introduced with Nylon
Picks, Jim resolved to create a
pick with a bright and snappy attack, superior memory and durability,
and an improved grip. He chose Delrin as his base material and then
spent more than a year developing a special treatment process to draw
out its full potential. This treatment process is what sets Tortex
Picks apart from all others, providing their unique grip-enhancing
matte surface and aggressive attack. Finally, Jim expanded on his
previous picks’ color-coded gauge system to create the bright and
timeless palette that has become an industry standard. Because we
stick to Jim’s original formula, Tortex Picks remain our
bestselling pick line. And we still make them at the Dunlop HQ in
Benicia, California.
With
Tortex, Jim Dunlop launched a revolution, and the world of picks has
never been the same. The turtle logo is instantly recognizable, and
the vibrant Tortex palette has become a gauging shorthand for guitar
players. Go into any music store and ask for Green or Yellow
Picks—chances are, you’ll be shown a pack of Tortex .88mm or
.73mm Picks. Countless musicians across the world, representing every
genre and playing style, have chosen Tortex Picks to help them do
what they love.
