Description

First released in 1981, Tortex® Picks were originally intended to be a high quality replacement for tortoiseshell. Jim Dunlop's trail-blazing creation became so much more than that, however, establishing its own identity and becoming the new standard by which all other picks are judged. Building on the precision, consistency, and color-coded gauge system he introduced with Nylon Picks, Jim resolved to create a pick with a bright and snappy attack, superior memory and durability, and an improved grip. He chose Delrin as his base material and then spent more than a year developing a special treatment process to draw out its full potential. This treatment process is what sets Tortex Picks apart from all others, providing their unique grip-enhancing matte surface and aggressive attack. Finally, Jim expanded on his previous picks' color-coded gauge system to create the bright and timeless palette that has become an industry standard. Because we stick to Jim's original formula, Tortex Picks remain our bestselling pick line. And we still make them at the Dunlop HQ in Benicia, California. With Tortex, Jim Dunlop launched a revolution, and the world of picks has never been the same. The turtle logo is instantly recognizable, and the vibrant Tortex palette has become a gauging shorthand for guitar players. Go into any music store and ask for Green or Yellow Picks—chances are, you'll be shown a pack of Tortex .88mm or .73mm Picks. Countless musicians across the world, representing every genre and playing style, have chosen Tortex Picks to help them do what they love. Made in the USA.

  • Very flexible pick for nice twangy acoustic guitar sound
I use this thin, soft yet reasonably grippy plectrum for my acoustic guitar shows because it provides a great twangy sound as the flex kind of plucks each string for me. This flexibility also softens the blow when I get excited and strum hard (I'm doing solo acoustic versions of 90's skate punk songs, so sometimes very high energy), resulting in less clack and tuning issues than if I use a harder pick. These do wear out faster than a thicker pick, but slower than a cheap plastic pick. For shows usually I go through one pick a show (90 minutes), for rehearsal more like 1 people for 6 hours of rehearsing. Besides wearing out the sharpness of the picking radius, they get more soft and flexible with wear, so I like the shows to use new picks for just the right stiffness and a sharp attack radius. ... show more

  • Great picks
The perfect picks for me
Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2026 by Not very aromatic or flavorful. No pepper bite in the mouth whatsoever will not buy again.

  • GREAT BUY
Best picks out there in my opinion. But, like with every pick you will ever hold in life, it will eventually disappear. Just when you think, "wow I've been using this pick for over a week now, maybe I will keep this one forever." Boom it disappears to pick heaven or where ever it is they go to in your home along with the thousands of picks that have left your sight. ... show more

  • My go to pick
I'll never use other picks than this. Perfect balance of stiffness and flexibility. I use it for Church worship leading and this is perfect. Can tell you enough how good this is.

  • I Like Dunlop Picks
I've used Dunlops for years and I recently went to the .50mm to lessen the pick noise when I'm recording. It took a little getting used to these coming from a .73mm but well worth the sound I'm getting. Less clack with out loosing the attack. Dunlop Tortex have a great feel and when they are new the coating works really well to keep that pick from sliding in your hand. I'd recommend these to anyone who is looking for great pick. ... show more

  • Tough, lasting picks...
Crisp, bright sound. Lasts longer than standard plastic picks. Be nicer without the powder coating that must be wiped off for a good grip. I assume it is part of the manufacturing process?
