Jim Dunlop Tortex Flex Standard Pick 0.60mm – The Classic Tortex Grip with the Warmth and Flexibility of Nylon
The Best of Both Worlds: Tortex Texture Meets Nylon Warmth. More Give, More Tone, Same Familiar Feel. Made in the USA.
Tortex Flex Standard Picks combine the classic textured gripping surface of Tortex Picks with the tonal warmth and smooth flexibility of nylon. With the easy familiarity of the standard shape, they play just like the Tortex Picks you love but with a little more give and a little more thickness in the tone to beef up those riffs, licks, and bass runs. The 0.60mm gauge offers a versatile middle ground between light and medium, providing just the right amount of flexibility for expressive playing while maintaining enough stiffness for articulate single-note lines.
The Tortex Legacy – A Revolution in Pick-Making
First released in 1981, Tortex® Picks were originally intended to be a high-quality replacement for tortoiseshell. Jim Dunlop's trail-blazing creation became so much more than that, however, establishing its own identity and becoming the new standard by which all other picks are judged.
Building on the precision, consistency, and color-coded gauge system he introduced with Nylon Picks, Jim resolved to create a pick with a bright and snappy attack, superior memory and durability, and an improved grip. He chose Delrin as his base material and then spent more than a year developing a special treatment process to draw out its full potential. This treatment process is what sets Tortex Picks apart from all others, providing their unique grip-enhancing matte surface and aggressive attack. Finally, Jim expanded on his previous picks' color-coded gauge system to create the bright and timeless palette that has become an industry standard. Because we stick to Jim's original formula, Tortex Picks remain our bestselling pick line. And we still make them at the Dunlop HQ in Benicia, California.
Tortex Flex – Where Texture Meets Warmth
The Tortex Flex takes everything you love about the classic Tortex pick—the matte, grip-enhancing surface, the familiar standard shape, the legendary durability—and infuses it with the tonal warmth and smooth flexibility of nylon. The result is a pick that feels instantly comfortable but delivers a slightly rounder, beefier tone that adds body to riffs, licks, and bass runs. The 0.60mm gauge offers a balanced flex that's perfect for players who switch between strumming and picking, making it ideal for acoustic and electric guitarists alike.
