Herco HE112P Medium Thumbpicks - 3-Pack (Yellow, Red, Blue)

Since 1981, Tortex® Picks have redefined what guitarists expect from their plectrums, evolving from a simple tortoiseshell replacement into the industry benchmark that all other picks are measured against. Jim Dunlop’s groundbreaking creation built upon his earlier innovations with Nylon Picks, incorporating the same precision manufacturing and colour-coded gauge system that musicians had come to trust.

The secret behind Tortex lies in Dunlop’s meticulous approach to material engineering. Using Delrin as the foundation, Jim spent over a year perfecting a specialised treatment process that unlocks the material’s full potential. This unique treatment creates the distinctive matte surface that enhances grip while producing the bright, snappy attack and superior memory that Tortex picks are renowned for. The result is exceptional durability combined with consistent performance that professional and amateur musicians alike depend upon.

The iconic turtle logo and vibrant colour palette have become universal language among guitarists worldwide. Walk into any music shop and request Green or Yellow picks—you’ll likely be handed Tortex .88mm or .73mm varieties. This colour-coding system has become industry standard, making gauge selection intuitive for players across all genres and skill levels. Still manufactured at Dunlop’s headquarters in Benicia, California, Tortex remains the best-selling pick line, continuing Jim’s original formula that sparked a revolution in the guitar pick industry.
