What sets Tortex Sharp Guitar Picks apart is their unique blend of playability, precision, and tone. These .73mm gauge picks, identifiable by their vibrant yellow color, are designed with a super sharp tip that enhances articulation and precision, making them an essential tool for any guitarist.
The Tortex Picks story began in 1981, when they were introduced as a high-quality alternative to tortoiseshell picks. The brainchild of Jim Dunlop, these picks quickly surpassed their initial purpose, establishing a new standard in the music industry. Dunlop's innovative approach combined the precision and consistency of Nylon Picks with a bright, snappy attack, superior durability, and an improved grip.
The secret to the Tortex Picks' unique characteristics lies in the choice of Delrin as the base material. Dunlop spent over a year perfecting a special treatment process to maximize the potential of this material. The result is a pick that offers a unique grip-enhancing matte surface and an aggressive attack, setting Tortex Picks apart from the competition.
The color-coded gauge system, another innovation by Dunlop, has become an industry standard. The bright and timeless palette is instantly recognizable, with the yellow .73mm Tortex Picks being a popular choice among musicians worldwide.
The iconic turtle logo and the vibrant Tortex palette have become synonymous with quality and performance. Whether you're a professional musician or a budding guitarist, Tortex Picks are the go-to choice for guitar players of all genres and styles. Proudly made in the USA at the Dunlop HQ in Benicia, California, Tortex Picks continue to revolutionize the world of guitar picks.
