First introduced in 1981, Tortex Picks were designed as a superior alternative to tortoiseshell picks. However, they quickly surpassed their original purpose, carving out their own unique identity and setting a new benchmark in the world of guitar picks. Jim Dunlop, the visionary behind these innovative picks, introduced a precision, consistency, and color-coded gauge system that revolutionized the industry.
Dunlop's commitment to quality led him to select Delrin as the base material for these picks. After more than a year of meticulous development, he perfected a special treatment process that enhances the inherent qualities of Delrin. This process gives Tortex Picks their distinctive matte surface for improved grip and aggressive attack, setting them apart from all other picks on the market.
The vibrant color-coded gauge system, another of Dunlop's pioneering ideas, has become an industry standard. The iconic turtle logo and the bright Tortex palette are instantly recognizable to musicians worldwide. Whether you ask for Green or Yellow Picks in any music store, you're likely to be handed a pack of Tortex .88mm or .73mm Picks.
Tortex Picks, proudly made in the USA at the Dunlop HQ in Benicia, California, have been the top choice of countless musicians across all genres and playing styles. They have not only chosen Tortex Picks for their superior quality and performance but also for the love of making music. Experience the revolution that Jim Dunlop started with Tortex and elevate your guitar playing with the Tortex Flex Standard Guitar Picks.
