You can elevate your guitar playing experience with the Tortex Jazz III Guitar Picks. These 1.0mm gauge, pitch black picks are renowned for their bright tone, snappy, aggressive attack, and superior control. The Jazz III shape further enhances speed and definition, making these picks a favorite among guitarists worldwide.
First introduced in 1981, Tortex Picks were designed to be a high-quality alternative to tortoiseshell picks. The innovative creation by Jim Dunlop transcended its original purpose, setting a new standard in the music industry and becoming a benchmark for all other guitar picks.
The precision, consistency, and color-coded gauge system of these picks are a testament to Jim Dunlop's commitment to quality. He meticulously selected Delrin as the base material and spent over a year perfecting a special treatment process to maximize its potential. This unique process 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 Tortex Picks, still made at the Dunlop HQ in Benicia, California, remain our top-selling pick line, adhering to Jim's original formula.
The Tortex revolution, initiated by Jim Dunlop, has forever changed the world of guitar picks. The iconic turtle logo and the vibrant Tortex palette have become synonymous with quality and performance. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned musician, playing any genre or style, Tortex Picks are the go-to choice for guitarists around the globe. Proudly made in the USA.
