A fusion of superior design and vibrant aesthetics, the Tortex TIII Guitar Picks offer the perfect blend of Tortex's signature tone and feel with the speed and precision of a Jazz III tip. These picks, first introduced to the music world in 1981, were initially designed to serve as a high-quality alternative to tortoiseshell picks. However, they quickly surpassed their original purpose, carving out a unique identity and setting a new benchmark for guitar picks worldwide.
Crafted by Jim Dunlop, these picks embody precision, consistency, and a color-coded gauge system, all hallmarks of Dunlop's innovative approach. The Tortex TIII Picks are made from Delrin, a material chosen for its bright, snappy attack, superior memory, and durability. After more than a year of meticulous development, a special treatment process was perfected to enhance these qualities, setting Tortex Picks apart from the competition.
The picks feature a unique, grip-enhancing matte surface for optimal control and an aggressive attack for a dynamic playing experience. The color-coded gauge system, another Dunlop innovation, has been expanded in these picks, resulting in the bright, timeless palette that has become an industry standard.
The Tortex TIII Guitar Picks are not just a product, but a testament to Jim Dunlop's revolutionary vision that transformed the world of guitar picks. The instantly recognizable turtle logo and the vibrant orange color of these picks have become synonymous with quality and performance. Proudly made in the USA at the Dunlop HQ in Benicia, California, these picks continue to be our best-selling line, embodying the legacy and quality that musicians have come to expect from Dunlop.
