Jim Dunlop Guitar Pick Tortex Wedge 0.73mm Made in USA

Jim Dunlop Tortex Wedge Pick 0.73mm – Classic Tortex Tone with a Larger Grip and Sharper Tip

Overview

The Jim Dunlop Tortex Wedge Pick takes everything you love about the iconic Tortex Standard Pick—the bright, snappy attack, the legendary durability, the grip-enhancing matte surface—and enhances it with a larger gripping surface for added control and a sharper tip for increased precision. Made in the USA from Jim Dunlop’s original Delrin formula, the 0.73mm gauge (Yellow) is the world’s most popular pick thickness, offering the perfect balance of flexibility and stiffness for virtually any playing style. Whether you’re strumming acoustic chords, picking delicate melodies, or exploring dynamic techniques, the Tortex Wedge Pick gives you the classic Tortex tone with improved playability.

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.
