JIM DUNLOP Tortex Flow Standard Guitar Picks

Tortex Picks, first released in 1981, were originally intended to be a high-quality replacement for tortoiseshell. However, Jim Dunlop's trail-blazing creation became much more than that, 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 Dunlop resolved to create a pick with a bright and snappy attack, superior memory and durability, and an improved grip. He chose Delrin as the base material and 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.

Jim Dunlop further expanded on his previous picks' color-coded gauge system to create the bright and timeless palette that has become an industry standard. As a result, Tortex Picks remain Dunlop's bestselling pick line, and they are still manufactured at the company's headquarters 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.

Tortex Flow Picks combine the bright snap of Tortex Picks with the geometry of flow picks. They feature a wide angle to focus your attack and a sharp tip for superior precision and articulation. Tortex Flow Picks are available in a range of gauges, from .50mm to 1.5mm, to suit the preferences of various musicians.

Made in the USA, Tortex Picks and Tortex Flow Picks continue to be the industry standard, trusted by musicians around the world for their consistent performance, durability, and distinctive tone.
