The Tortex Picks, first introduced in 1981, were initially designed to be a high-quality alternative to tortoiseshell picks. However, Jim Dunlop's innovative creation transcended its original purpose, establishing a unique identity and setting a new standard for all guitar picks.
Building on the precision, consistency, and color-coded gauge system introduced with Nylon Picks, Jim Dunlop aimed to create a pick with a bright and snappy attack, superior memory and durability, and an improved grip. He selected Delrin as the base material and spent over a year developing a unique 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.
Jim Dunlop further expanded on his color-coded gauge system, creating the vibrant and timeless palette that has become an industry standard. The adherence to Jim's original formula is why Tortex Picks remain our top-selling pick line. These picks are still produced at the Dunlop HQ in Benicia, California.
With Tortex, Jim Dunlop sparked a revolution in the world of guitar picks. The turtle logo is instantly recognizable, and the vibrant Tortex palette has become a gauge shorthand for guitarists worldwide. Walk into any music store and ask for Green or Yellow Picks, and you'll likely be shown a pack of Tortex .88mm or .73mm Picks.
Musicians across the globe, representing every genre and playing style, have chosen Tortex Picks to express their passion. Experience the revolution with these made in the USA Tortex Flow Guitar Picks.
