I’ve been a Dunlop Tortex pick user for close to 20 years. I’ve experimented with other picks, and often use my Guitar Lifestyle picks, but I always have a 0.88 Dunlop Tortex nearby. One of the picks I’ve experimented with recently is the popular Jazz III pick by Dunlop. I like the smaller size of the Jazz IIIs, but I don’t like the feel of them as much as the Tortex picks. I’m apparently not the only one who feels this way, as Dunlop have combined the two types of picks to create the Tortex TIII, which they have announced at the Winter NAMM show. I’m looking forward to checking these out.
Absolutely fantastic.
I still have about 5 tortex picks lying around with sharpened tips using a filer, great to hear that I don’t need to do that anymore:). Quick question though, isn’t the shape much more resembling the Ultex sharps??? I’m surprised Dunlop isn’t saying they combined Ultex sharp + Tortex.
I haven’t seen them in person, yet. I imagine that they’re trying to capitalize on the popularity of the Jazz III pick.
I can see this being pretty huge at the guitar store. Most people I find are either using the tortex or jazz III’s.
