Dunlop Tortex Triangle Guitar Picks 1.0mm are an iconic pick choice for musicians worldwide, a legacy that has been built since 1981. These picks were originally designed to emulate the feel of tortoiseshell picks, but have since evolved into a new standard in the industry, surpassing their tortoise mascot.

These picks are a revolution in their own right, providing a solution to the previously ambiguous sizing of picks. Thanks to Jim Dunlop's innovation, players now have a comprehensive range of thickness, standardized to the 100th of a millimeter. These picks are easily identifiable by Dunlop’s color-coded system, with the 1.0mm pick in a distinctive blue hue.

Crafted from a proprietary blend of materials, Dunlop Tortex picks are renowned for their durability, perfect grip and bright, articulate tone. The material, a highly durable plastic named Delrin, resists the wear and tear that comes with heavy usage, ensuring that these picks have a longer lifespan than most. The surface has been designed to enhance grip, providing a natural feel that's not too sticky - just right for most players.

The triangle shape of these picks is a favorite among bassists, offering extended grip surface which is crucial when playing against the resistance of thick bass strings. Whether you are a professional musician or just starting your musical journey, Dunlop Tortex Triangle Guitar Picks can enhance your playing experience.
