Tortex
Picks are highly durable with great memory and just the right amount
of flexibility for a snappy, fluid attack that's bright and crisp.
Whether you're playing searing electric leads or strumming acoustic
passages, the appeal of Tortex as a sonic paintbrush is universal.
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.
