I started playing guitar on Tortex's, and I'm going to use them for a very long time. Great all-around guitar picks. Nothing fancy, but they do their job well.Great picks. The grip surface is soft and smooth and actually works pretty well. They slip if you start playing super heavy with them, but that's not what they're designed for. The yellow (.73) is one of my go-to picks for guitar. I tend to stay away from anything thicker than that because the squared edges make a clicking sound that I don't like. A lot of people don't have a problem with it, but I just prefer to have smooth, round tone without any extra string noise.
Excellent build quality. They're flexible and resilient, and they hardly wear at all. I've had the same yellow Tortex for 2 or so years now and it's worn less than half a millimeter. I don't like how the logo wears off very quickly, but it's not a big deal. Broken-in Tortex's look cool. I just wish they could stamp the logo into the pick rather than on the surface, like with the Gator Grips and Delrin 500's.
The price is a pretty good price for a dozen of these well-made picks. And a dozen will last you a really long time.

. I've been using the orange .60 Tortex picks for about 10 years now. I'm a bluesman,and the pick i use is perfect for what i play. I won't use another pick because i can tear it up with my strat and tele. Dunlop makes the best picks on the market. I'll continue to use there fine products.

.Good picks. Timeless. Good grip. Great size options. Only con, I wish you could get different colors in different sizes (although they now have Pitch Blacks, which are cool). No biggie though. Tortex picks are a nice change from the standard Fender celluloid picks. Different texture. I typically use Snarling Dog pics for shows, as the teeth on them grip amazing. For practice and recording, the Tortex are great, as their wear pattern is much better than the Snarling Dog's, which get very frayed around the edges, rather than staying smooth.

.I've been using Dunlop picks since the '80's and have found none better. I used to play bass with the 2 mm picks and I've used the .73 and the 1.14 as well. Now that i play guitar and bass I've found the .60 works well for both. Tortex is extremely durable. I still have some of the 2mm and 1.14mm from back then and there is very little wear on the (I don't use them everyday). I've tried using some of the celluliod picks and they usually don't last a month of playing nearly everyday; this is the reason that I've started using all three corners of the pick and the more rounded edges give a slightly different, subdued sound.

.Used these for years, thankfully they haven't changed. Whereas celluloid picks sharpen and consume themselves due to wear, these picks are very durable and last a very long time. Instead of a glossy texture like celluloid picks, these have a matte finish texture which helps me maintain a grip even with sweaty fingers. I use heavier gauge strings on my electric, so I prefer the 1.14mm and 1.0mm for that, and the thinner ones for acoustic. Choose a thickness that suits you best. If you don't like the color, buy the pitch black ones in your size.

.I have tried several different Tortex picks of different thicknesses and of the ones I tried I like the .60 mm the best. Many people say these are easy to hold onto, but I find them to be just the opposite. To me they feel like they have a powder coating on them. The thicker the gauge the harder to hold. The orange .60mm hit the sweetspot with decent tone and fairly good grip. Maybe my hands are just drier than others, but I find the Dunlop Gels to be much easier to hang on to, and also have better tone.
