Where precision meets durability, the Tortex Sharp Guitar Picks, 1.14mm Gauge, in a vibrant purple hue, come in a pack of 72. These picks are renowned for their superior playability and tone, featuring a super sharp tip for enhanced precision and articulation.
Born from the innovative mind of Jim Dunlop in 1981, Tortex Picks were initially designed as a high-quality alternative to tortoiseshell picks. However, they quickly surpassed their original intent, carving out their own identity and setting a new standard in the world of guitar picks.
The Tortex Picks are a testament to Dunlop's commitment to precision and consistency. They carry forward the color-coded gauge system introduced with Nylon Picks, offering musicians an easy way to identify their preferred pick thickness.
What sets Tortex Picks apart is the unique treatment process developed by Dunlop. After selecting Delrin as the base material, Dunlop spent over a year perfecting a process that enhances the material's inherent qualities. The result is a pick with a bright and snappy attack, superior durability, and an improved grip.
The matte surface of the Tortex Picks, a result of this special treatment, provides a unique grip-enhancing feature. The aggressive attack, coupled with the grip, makes these picks a favorite among musicians of all genres and playing styles.
The Tortex Picks also stand out for their vibrant and timeless color palette, which has become an industry standard. The purple 1.14mm gauge picks are instantly recognizable and have become a shorthand for musicians worldwide.
Manufactured at the Dunlop HQ in Benicia, California, Tortex Picks remain true to Jim's original formula, making them our bestselling pick line. The iconic turtle logo and the vibrant Tortex color palette have revolutionized the world of picks.
Whether you're in a music store asking for Green or Yellow Picks, chances are you'll be shown a pack of Tortex .88mm or .73mm Picks. The Tortex Sharp Guitar Picks, 1.14mm Gauge, Purple, 72-Pack is a testament to this legacy. Crafted with passion and precision, these picks are proudly made in the USA.
