Dunlop Tortex 418P1.14 Plektrum 12-pack

Tortex Picks are renowned for their exceptional durability, remarkable shape retention, and ideal balance of flexibility for a sharp, fluid attack that delivers a bright, clear tone. Whether you're shredding electric leads or strumming acoustic melodies, Tortex picks provide the universal versatility every guitarist craves.

First introduced in 1981 as a high-quality alternative to tortoiseshell, Jim Dunlop's groundbreaking Tortex design quickly evolved into a category of its own. Far more than just a substitute, it became the industry standard that all other picks are measured against.

Inspired by the precision and color-coded gauge system he pioneered with Nylon Picks, Jim Dunlop set out to create a pick with superior durability, memory, and a vibrant, snappy tone. Choosing Delrin as the foundation, he spent over a year refining a proprietary process that maximized the material's potential. This treatment gave Tortex its iconic matte surface, enhancing grip and attack in a way unmatched by any other pick.

The color-coded gauge system remains a hallmark of Tortex, offering a timeless visual guide that has become a staple for guitarists worldwide. Walk into any music store and mention Green or Yellow Picks, and you'll likely be handed a pack of Tortex .88mm or .73mm picks—trusted by musicians across all genres.

Still manufactured in the USA at Dunlop’s HQ in Benicia, California, Tortex Picks represent a revolution in the world of guitar picks. The instantly recognizable turtle logo and vibrant color palette continue to set the standard for guitarists everywhere. Loved by professionals and hobbyists alike, Tortex Picks are more than just tools—they're essential to creating the music you love.
