With the Tortex Sharp Guitar Picks, you'll experience the superior playability and tone that Tortex is renowned for, enhanced by a super sharp tip for exceptional precision and articulation. First introduced in 1981, Tortex Picks were designed by Jim Dunlop as a high-quality alternative to tortoiseshell picks. However, these picks quickly transcended their original purpose, setting a new standard in the industry and becoming a favorite among musicians worldwide.
Crafted from durable Delrin, these picks offer a bright and snappy attack, unmatched memory, and long-lasting durability. Jim Dunlop spent over a year perfecting a special treatment process to maximize the potential of this material. The result is the unique matte surface of Tortex Picks, which enhances grip and delivers an aggressive attack, setting them apart from other picks on the market.
The color-coded gauge system, another innovation by Jim Dunlop, has become an industry standard. The vibrant Tortex palette is now synonymous with pick gauges, making it easy for musicians to find their preferred pick. The Tortex Sharp Guitar Picks in blue signify a 1.0mm gauge, perfect for versatile guitar playing.
The iconic turtle logo on each pick is instantly recognizable, symbolizing the quality and legacy of Tortex Picks. These picks are proudly made in the USA at the Dunlop HQ in Benicia, California. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned professional, playing rock or jazz, the Tortex Sharp Guitar Picks offer the quality, durability, and precision you need to create the music you love.
