When it comes to achieving the perfect blend of tone, feel, speed, and precision in your guitar playing, look no further than the Tortex TIII Guitar Picks. These picks, brought to you by the reputable brand Dunlop, are designed with the unique combination of Tortex material and a Jazz III tip, offering an unparalleled musical experience.
First introduced in 1981, Tortex Picks were crafted with the intention of providing a superior alternative to tortoiseshell picks. However, Jim Dunlop's innovative creation quickly transcended its original purpose, setting a new standard in the industry and becoming the benchmark against which all other picks are measured.
Incorporating the precision, consistency, and color-coded gauge system of Nylon Picks, Dunlop embarked on a mission to create a pick that offered a bright, snappy attack, exceptional durability, and an enhanced grip. After more than a year of meticulous development, he chose Delrin as the base material and perfected a unique treatment process that unlocked its full potential.
This distinctive process is what sets Tortex Picks apart from the rest, endowing them with a unique matte surface for improved grip and an aggressive attack. To further distinguish these picks, Dunlop expanded on the color-coded gauge system, resulting in the vibrant Tortex palette that has become an industry standard.
Adhering to Jim's original formula, Tortex Picks continue to be our top-selling pick line, all manufactured at the Dunlop HQ in Benicia, California. With Tortex, Jim Dunlop initiated a revolution in the world of guitar picks. The iconic turtle logo is instantly recognizable, and the vibrant Tortex palette has become a shorthand for guitar players to gauge their picks. Proudly made in the USA, these 1mm gauge, blue Tortex TIII Guitar Picks are a testament to Dunlop's commitment to quality, durability, and musical innovation.
