Why settle for less when you can have the best The Tortex Jazz III Guitar Picks, with a .73mm gauge and a pitch-black color, are a testament to Dunlop's commitment to quality and innovation. These picks, first introduced in 1981, were designed to be a superior alternative to tortoiseshell picks, but they quickly established their own unique identity, setting a new standard in the music industry.
The Tortex Jazz III Guitar Picks are renowned for their bright tone, snappy and aggressive attack, and the unparalleled control, speed, and definition offered by their Jazz III shape. These features are a result of the meticulous design process and the use of high-quality materials. Dunlop's founder, Jim Dunlop, chose Delrin as the base material for these picks, spending over a year perfecting a special treatment process that enhances its inherent qualities.
What sets these picks apart is their unique grip-enhancing matte surface, a result of this special treatment process. This surface not only improves the grip but also contributes to the aggressive attack that Tortex Picks are known for. The color-coded gauge system, another innovation by Jim Dunlop, adds to the visual appeal of these picks and has become an industry standard.
