Because Tortex Flow Guitar Picks are a fusion of the bright, crisp sound of Tortex Picks and the unique geometry of Flow Picks, they offer an unparalleled playing experience. These picks, with their wide angle and sharp tip, allow for a concentrated attack and exceptional precision, enhancing the articulation of your music.
First introduced in 1981, Tortex Picks were designed as a superior alternative to traditional tortoiseshell picks. However, Jim Dunlop's innovative creation quickly surpassed its original purpose, carving out its own niche and setting a new standard for guitar picks worldwide.
Building upon 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 sound, exceptional durability, and an improved grip. Delrin was chosen as the base material, and after more than a year of meticulous development, a special treatment process was perfected. This process is what distinguishes Tortex Picks from the rest, providing a unique matte surface for enhanced grip and an aggressive attack.
Dunlop further expanded the color-coded gauge system, resulting in the vibrant Tortex palette that has become an industry standard. Adhering to Dunlop's original formula, Tortex Picks continue to be our top-selling pick line, all manufactured at the Dunlop headquarters in Benicia, California.
With the launch of Tortex, Dunlop sparked a revolution in the world of guitar picks. The iconic turtle logo is instantly recognizable, and the vibrant Tortex palette has become 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.
Musicians worldwide, across all genres and playing styles, have chosen Tortex Picks as their tool of choice to express their passion. Proudly made in the USA, Tortex Flow Guitar Picks are more than just a pick; they're a testament to innovation, quality, and the love of music.
