Tortex


Tortex is a modern plastic that was created by Jim Dunlop to replace tortoiseshell guitar picks after an international ban was placed on the trade of tortoiseshell in the late 1970s. Tortex is registered trademark of the Dunlop Manufacturing, Inc.
Tortex picks are used by many guitar players. Tortex is one of the most popular materials for guitar picks. It is a pick that imitates the texture of a tortoise shell. It has a grippy feel, so players don't drop the pick while playing.
In 1987, Joshua Gaugler decided to use tortex material for pedalboards and other musical equipment.
