The Dunlop Tortex Flow Guitar Picks in 1.35mm gauge are designed for guitarists seeking a clear, crisp tone with enhanced precision and control. Made in the USA with advanced technologies, these picks offer a safer grip and superior articulation. A potential caveat for some players might be the specific feel of the Tortex material and the sharp tip, which could require an adjustment period for those accustomed to more rounded picks.

Tortex is a type of plastic developed by Dunlop known for its durability, bright tone, and smooth feel, mimicking the properties of traditional tortoiseshell picks.
A 1.35mm gauge is considered heavy. It offers more control, power, and a brighter attack compared to thinner picks, making it suitable for aggressive styles and precise playing.
The Flow geometry features a wider angle to focus your pick attack and a sharper tip, designed to enhance precision and articulation beyond that of a standard pick shape.
While suitable for all levels, the 1.35mm gauge and sharp tip might require an adjustment period for absolute beginners. However, their precision and clarity are beneficial for developing technique.
Yes, these picks are universally compatible with all types of guitars (acoustic, electric, bass) and other stringed instruments.
This specific listing refers to a single pick. However, Dunlop offers multi-packs of Tortex Flow picks, often in quantities of 12.
The wide angle on the Flow pick geometry helps to focus your picking attack, allowing for a more controlled and precise interaction with the strings.
Ensure your fingers are clean and dry. The Tortex material provides a good grip, but excessive moisture or dirt can reduce its effectiveness.
Experiment with different picking techniques or consider a guitar with warmer-sounding pickups. The 1.35mm gauge and Tortex material inherently produce a bright tone.
Practice alternate picking and other techniques regularly. The pick's sharp tip and gauge can initially feel different; consistent practice will help you adapt.
While Tortex is durable, aggressive playing can cause wear. Ensure you are not digging into the strings excessively. If wear is a significant issue, consider rotating picks or using them for less intense playing.
These guitar picks require no setup; they are ready for immediate use straight out of the packaging.
Compatibility: Dunlop Tortex Flow Guitar Picks are compatible with all types of stringed instruments, including acoustic guitars, electric guitars, bass guitars, and ukuleles.
