Dunlop Tortex T3 Pick Pack (1.14mm)

Since revolutionising the guitar pick industry in 1981, Tortex® Picks have redefined what musicians expect from their playing accessories. Originally conceived as a premium alternative to tortoiseshell picks, Jim Dunlop’s innovative creation quickly transcended its initial purpose to establish an entirely new benchmark for pick performance and quality.

The development process behind Tortex involved Jim Dunlop building upon his successful precision and colour-coded gauge system from Nylon Picks, whilst pursuing a pick that offered bright, snappy attack characteristics combined with exceptional memory and durability. After selecting Delrin as the base material, Dunlop dedicated over a year to perfecting a specialised treatment process that unlocks the material’s full potential, creating the distinctive matte surface that enhances grip and produces an aggressive attack unlike any other pick.

Today, the iconic turtle logo and vibrant Tortex colour palette have become universal language amongst guitarists worldwide. Walk into any music shop and request “Green” or “Yellow” picks, and you’ll likely be handed Tortex .88mm or .73mm varieties—testament to how deeply these picks have penetrated musical culture. Musicians spanning every conceivable genre and playing technique continue to rely on Tortex Picks as their trusted tool for musical expression.
