DunlopTortex Pitch Black Jazz Guitar Picks 1 Dozen .50 mm
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A dozen thin jazz-size Tortex picks. For players who want a small pick with give — fast lead runs and light strumming on guitar.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Fast alternate picking where a small tip stays out of the way
- Light strumming on acoustic that needs a flexible edge
- Stocking up cheap — a dozen at a time
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Heavy palm-muted rhythm, where .50 mm flexes too much
- Bass players, who need much stiffer picks
- Anyone who wants a full-size pick to grip
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Jazz shape
Smaller body and sharper point than a standard pick. Less material between fingers and string, so picking feels more direct.
Detail 03
Tortex material
Dupont Delrin. Has a matte, slightly grippy surface that holds up when your hands sweat.
Detail 04
Pitch Black finish
Color is cosmetic only. Tortex normally color-codes by gauge, so check the printed thickness rather than the color here.
Detail 05
1 dozen pack
12 picks. Picks get lost and wear down at the tip, so buying in bulk is standard practice.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Pick thickness is personal — try a mixed gauge pack before committing to a dozen
- 02The jazz shape is noticeably smaller; it feels different if you've only used standard
- 03Tortex tips wear to a rounded edge over time and change the attack
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is .50 mm too thin?
For strumming, no — thin picks are common there. For lead lines or heavy rhythm, most players go to .73 mm or above for a firmer attack.
02What does the jazz shape change?
It's smaller with a sharper tip. Your fingers sit closer to the strings, which many lead players prefer. It can feel cramped if you're used to a standard pick.
03Are these the same as regular Tortex picks?
Same Tortex material, different shape. The standard Tortex is a larger teardrop; this is the smaller jazz outline.
04Do all twelve come in .50 mm?
Yes. This pack is a single gauge — twelve picks, all .50 mm.
