As much as a beginner like me can judge, these picks are durable, attractive, and much higher quality material than just plastic. The sound produced is good. The 1.00 mm picks are the blue ones that you see in the Amazon product picture; they are not multi-color as I thought.

Greatest guitar picks ever!!

These are easily the greatest guitar picks i have ever used. They are easy to grip and i have never dropped one since i have used them. A must for guitar players who hate dropping picks!!

Se pueden comprar sin remordimiento

Es una docena de uñas asi como cualquiera, vienen como en talco para comodidad. Son duraderas y bueno el resto depende del guitarrista.

Si tocas baladas y pangoladas, no es conveniente tener uñas tan gruesas para charrasqueo. En cambio la onda en que estoy de heavy lo hacen necesario por el desgaste en los riff.

Shiping Costs

The product was just fine but I do object to their shipping policy. I oderded four items, all of which could have been shipped together but were instead shipped seperatly. This paticulsr item, Guitar picks, cost only $2.50 yet I was charged $4.25 for shipping
Signed. Not a happy camper.

Tortex? picks are carefully designed and manufactured to give the characteristic maximum memory and minimum wear that made original tortoise shell famous.

My dream pick

2006-01-15
I know a lot of guitarists aren't near as picky about picks as I am. So why should you be? After all, there is no pick that will make you play better and they are all generally the same.

WRONG. I thought that too at first. I figured it's just a piece of plastic, how hard can it be to pick one? I started out with fender pick because they looked pretty conventional and they were moderately priced. I blindly went through about ten of these due to them all breaking.

If you knew me well you'd know that I thrash my guitar...a lot... Even the thickest picks would wear down on me within a week, and most of them were too slick to stay in my sweaty hand during these crash and burn guitar playing moments. I came to realize that I needed a heavy duty pick with a good grip that would retain it's shape for at least a couple of weeks.

At first I thought metal was the answer. I mean, it's hard as rock and most of them come with a good grip on them. But after playing with them I discovered the sound was not to my liking. It sounded too buzzy with metal. That's about the time I discovered tortex picks. I was amazed. They had the best grip I have ever felt and kept their shape for weeks! I instantly bought every size I could get all the way from the thinnest read to the bulky blue one.

Months later I'm keeping a stock of these picks in my house. For solos I prefer the green one because it's got just the right resistance for that fast picking but not too much so that it slows you down. For strumming I use the orange. It's just perfect...

I cannot express to you how much you need to try this pick. Your wasting your money on anything other than Dunlop. Get the tortex and see what I mean!
