How do you elevate your guitar playing experience The answer lies in the Tortex Flex Standard Guitar Picks. These picks, available in a 1.0mm gauge and a classic white color, are a fusion of the durability of Tortex and the flexibility and warmth of nylon. They come in two shapes - Standard and Triangle, and a variety of gauges ranging from .50mm to 1.14mm, catering to diverse playing styles and preferences.
First introduced in 1981 as a superior alternative to tortoiseshell picks, Tortex Picks quickly transcended their original purpose. They became a unique entity, setting a new benchmark for all other guitar picks. The brainchild of Jim Dunlop, these picks are renowned for their precision, consistency, and color-coded gauge system.
What sets Tortex Picks apart is the special treatment process that Dunlop spent over a year perfecting. This process enhances the base material, Delrin, to its full potential, resulting in a pick that offers a bright, snappy attack, unparalleled memory and durability, and an improved grip. The unique matte surface of these picks enhances grip, while their aggressive attack makes them a favorite among guitarists.
The vibrant Tortex palette, an expansion of Dunlop's previous color-coded gauge system, has become an industry standard. The iconic turtle logo is instantly recognizable, and the Tortex name is synonymous with quality. Whether you're in a music store asking for Green or Yellow Picks, you're likely to be handed a pack of Tortex .88mm or .73mm Picks.
Tortex Picks are proudly made in the USA at the Dunlop HQ in Benicia, California. They have been chosen by countless musicians worldwide, across all genres and playing styles, to enhance their performance. With Tortex, Jim Dunlop didn't just create a product; he launched a revolution in the world of guitar picks. Experience the difference with Tortex Flex Standard Guitar Picks.
