Jim Dunlop Tortex picks, available in various gauges, cater to different guitar playing styles. Crafted from specialized Tortex plastic, these picks mimic tortoiseshell characteristics with a smooth and grippable surface, even for sweaty fingers.
Designed for versatility, thinner picks offer flexibility and a wide sound range, including a distinct "click" emphasizing picking attack. Heavier picks, argued by some for a brighter tone, are also available. Tortex picks come in thicknesses (measured in millimeters) of 0.50, 0.60, 0.73, 0.88, 1.00, and 1.14.
