Make every strum count with the Tortex Jazz III Guitar Picks, a product of Dunlop's innovative craftsmanship. These picks, available in a pack of 72, are designed to deliver a bright tone, snappy and aggressive attack, all while offering superior control, speed, and definition, thanks to the unique Jazz III shape.
First introduced in 1981, Tortex Picks were designed to serve as a high-quality alternative to tortoiseshell picks. However, they quickly transcended their original purpose, establishing a unique identity and setting a new standard in the world of guitar picks.
The Tortex Picks are a testament to Jim Dunlop's commitment to precision and consistency. He introduced a color-coded gauge system with Nylon Picks and aimed to create a pick that offered a bright and snappy attack, superior durability, and an improved grip. After choosing Delrin as the base material, he spent over a year developing a special treatment process to maximize its potential. This process is what distinguishes Tortex Picks from the rest, offering a unique grip-enhancing matte surface and an aggressive attack.
The vibrant Tortex palette, an expansion of Jim's color-coded gauge system, has become an industry standard. The iconic turtle logo is instantly recognizable, and the Tortex palette has become a shorthand for guitar players worldwide. Whether you're in a music store asking for Green or Yellow Picks, you're likely to be shown a pack of Tortex .88mm or .73mm Picks.
These Tortex Jazz III Guitar Picks are proudly made in the USA and are favored by countless musicians across the globe, representing every genre and playing style. They are not just a tool, but a revolution in the world of picks, brought to you by Jim Dunlop. With their stylish pitch black color, comfortable grip, and high-quality, durable material, these .60mm gauge picks are versatile enough to suit a variety of playing styles.
