These picks are small, but they have a great shape that makes them easy to play quickly with.
Discover the unparalleled excellence of Tortex Jazz III Guitar Picks, a product of the renowned brand, Dunlop. These 1.0mm gauge, pitch black picks are a fusion of bright tone, snappy attack, and superior control, all encapsulated in the iconic Jazz III shape. First introduced in 1981, Tortex Picks were crafted as a superior alternative to tortoiseshell picks, but they quickly surpassed their original purpose, setting a new benchmark in the realm of guitar picks.
The brainchild of Jim Dunlop, these picks are a testament to precision, consistency, and a color-coded gauge system. Jim's innovative vision led him to select Delrin as the base material, followed by a year of meticulous development of a special treatment process to maximize its potential. This unique process is what distinguishes Tortex Picks from the rest, offering a unique grip-enhancing matte surface and an aggressive attack.
The vibrant color palette of Tortex Picks, an extension of Jim's color-coded gauge system, has become an industry standard. The turtle logo is instantly recognizable, and the Tortex palette is now synonymous with guitar pick gauges. 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.
These durable, high-quality picks are the top choice for countless musicians worldwide, spanning all genres and playing styles. They are designed for comfort, versatility, and style, making them an essential accessory for every guitar player.
