From the renowned brand Dunlop, the Tortex Flex Standard Guitar Picks are a testament to superior craftsmanship and innovative design. These picks are a harmonious blend of Tortex's durability and nylon's flexibility, offering an unparalleled playing experience. They are available in two shapes - Standard and Triangle, catering to a variety of playing styles. The range of gauges, including .50mm, .60mm, .73mm, .88mm, 1.0mm, and 1.14mm, ensures that there's a pick for every guitarist's preference.
First introduced in 1981, Tortex Picks were envisioned as a high-quality alternative to tortoiseshell picks. However, under the visionary leadership of Jim Dunlop, they evolved into a unique product, setting a new benchmark in the world of guitar picks. Dunlop's commitment to precision, consistency, and a color-coded gauge system was further enhanced with the introduction of Tortex Picks.
The selection of Delrin as the base material and the development of a special treatment process over a year resulted in a pick that boasts a bright, snappy attack, superior memory, enhanced durability, and an improved grip. This unique process distinguishes Tortex Picks from the rest, offering a unique matte surface for an improved grip and an aggressive attack.
The vibrant color palette of Tortex Picks, an extension of Dunlop's color-coded gauge system, has become an industry standard. The iconic turtle logo and the distinctive Tortex colors are instantly recognizable to guitarists 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, still made at the Dunlop HQ in Benicia, California, continue to be the best-selling pick line, thanks to their adherence to Jim's original formula. They have revolutionized the world of guitar picks and have been the choice of countless musicians across genres and playing styles. Proudly made in the USA, Tortex Flex Standard Guitar Picks are not just a tool, but a symbol of quality, innovation, and musical tradition.
