Questions & Answers
I prefer the heavier cortex, which has a pointed rather than rounded end. It's possible that this will lengthen them slightly. Purchase the mixed bag. Each thickness is given to you one at a time. However, these are excellent choices.
I'm 100% not sure about it. 60mm. I've got the. I have a pair of 88mm that I adore. In my opinion, it is not too flimsy or stiff. As long as it isn't a, I believe it is acceptable. It should be fine to use 50 or whatever the smallest size is; I hope this helps.
This is what I ordered, and it arrived today. Pack size: 88 mm I'm guessing the photo of the assortment is just a stock photo from the manufacturer.
The size and profile are identical to that of an Ultex sharp-shooter. Another option in the standard size.

462R by Jim Dunlop Guitar Picks - Tortex III STD - 60 Picks 72 pack: br> I've been using these picks for over a year and love them - Guitar picking is made easier with the extra pointy "jazz" tip. The three-star rating is due to the fact that the most recent batch I ordered (spring 2021) leaves a black ink residue on your fingers after use, as the black ink from the pick graphics rubs off and smears onto your fingers. I recall seeing at least one other review on this site about it. Maybe the ink didn't go through the thermal process that makes it permanent? (if such a thing exists); However, the end result is black smudges on your fingers (and possibly your face if you touch or rub your face!) after you've finished playing. If this is important to you, the pick markings will also be unreadable after this. As I previously stated, I like the extra pointy tip, but it quickly degrades to a 418R. 60 Tortex Standard after a few hours of use, which is to be expected in a guitar pick. I'm going to keep using the 60-minute timer. I still have a few odd picks, but I'm going to add a towel to my bag so I can clean my fingers while playing. Check your quality assurance/quality control on these, Dunlop.
Tortex was my game of choice. For years, I was 73, but a few years ago, I was looking for a sharper tip on my picks and came across the Ultex Sharp. The number 73 seemed to be the best choice. The Ultex Sharp has a great tip, but the durability is lacking, so the sharp tip wears out quickly, and picks aren't cheap anymore. For the same gauge and a slicker grip, they're also stiffer than Tortex. The Tortex III is shaped similarly to the Ultex Sharp, but with the Tortex's durability and grip. The IIIs flex slightly more than the originals. I'm not sure if I'll be able to. All things will be equal thanks to the number 88. However, for the time being, I'm pleased with these selections and anticipate using IIIs in some capacity for many years to come.
The ink wears off. First and foremost, let me state that the updated Tortex is functionally superior to the previous version. Everything I'm looking for in a guitar pick is in the 73mm (yellow) range. It's the ideal size and shape for me. The updated tip design makes strong and snappy string crossing a breeze, and the latest material appears even more resistant to weardown (and impervious to fracture, which is why I stopped using celluloid picks and started using these in the first place). br>br>The only real issue is completely unrelated to the function requirements of a guitar pick, but it is nearly a dealbreaker. When your fingers start to sweat, the ink comes off and sticks to your skin, leaving your fingers stained. I would strongly advise against purchasing these picks unless you know what chemicals may be absorbed through skin contact or by touching your mouth or food. If you do, make sure to wash your fingers thoroughly after each use. br>br>I've been using Dunlop Tortex picks for a long time and swear by them. The pick on the left is missing some ink in the attached photo, but this is only after several sessions of use. The selection on the right is from a recent 72-hour period. pack of . I bought a 73mm lens; br>br>These picks used to only have printing on one side; I understand Dunlop wants their branding to be as visible as possible, but the current printing process isn't up to the task. br>br>After only 15 minutes of playing, it was completely smudged, and my fingers looked like they'd been up to something unwise to attempt without gloves. br>br> It detracts from the attractiveness of the picks and imposes a cost on the player.
The biggest blunder I've ever made! Tortex in its regular form. My go-to is an 88. I love the grip of the material, it's slightly satiny and stays put well, unlike glossy picks (which I don't like), and I've been using it exclusively, if not obsessively, for a long time. br>br>I've used Jazz IIIs before (briefly), and while I liked the sharper tip, I found them to be too small and the plastic to be too slippery. If you like Tortex because of the grippy material and size, give these a try; the Jazz III tip shape is great for accuracy, and the combination of features is a real winner. br>br>I had no idea these existed; I was expecting to receive a large back of the Tortex. I've always preferred 88's, but Dunlop came up with a brilliant idea when they combined the Jazz III tip with the Tortex material and size.
When it comes to guitar picks, I'm pretty sure I've never used one before, so proceed with caution. I am not a professional or someone to seek advice from. br>I bought my first guitar many years ago. A package from Fender. I went to a local music store looking for alternatives after being dissatisfied with the included pick. They sold Tortex by the piece, so I got a few of each color for about a buck each. The green ones were my favorites, but the yellow ones felt more enjoyable to play with. Before anyone makes a comment, let me state that I am aware that the color corresponds to the thickness. As a result, I went with the yellow ones. Just keep in mind that the pick you find adequate will be determined by how aggressively you play. Perhaps you'd be better off with a different brand. If you live near a music store, I recommend purchasing a few different brands and thicknesses from there. Examine your preferences in terms of playing style. The Tortex is my pick.
Dunlop is known for its high quality. The sharp point didn't appeal to me as much as the more rounded regular Dunlop style picks. Actually, it's my fault because I didn't realize the difference when I bought these. However, for heavier picking, these are excellent choices. Because of the sharp point, you must concentrate on your picking, which is beneficial. Overall, I'm pleased with these and will use them occasionally in my game; you can never have too many Dunlop picks. The tortise branded picms are my favorite because they are porous and provide good grip when your finhers start to sweat, such as on stage or while playing for a few hours; they also don't slip. I've been playing guitar for decades, and my go-to picks are the Dunlop tortise picks.
