Detail 01
1.0 mm thickness
Middle of the road. Enough stiffness for single notes, enough give to strum chords without fighting the strings.

DunlopTortex Pitch Black Standard Guitar Picks 1 Dozen 1.0 mm
1/3
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A dozen 1.0 mm Tortex picks in black. Mid-thickness standard shape — the default pick for most electric and acoustic players.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Strummers who want some flex but no floppiness
- Players who lose picks constantly and buy in bulk
- Anyone unsure of gauge and starting in the middle
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Fast metal picking that needs a rigid 1.5 mm+ tip
- Light acoustic strumming better served by thin picks
- Players who want to see a dropped pick on a dark stage
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
Tortex material
Matte, slightly powdery surface that holds grip when hands sweat. Wears down gradually rather than chipping.
Detail 03
Standard 351 shape
The common teardrop with a rounded tip. Broadest contact area, most forgiving if your grip shifts.
Detail 04
Black finish
Tortex normally color-codes gauge; these are all black, so thickness is printed rather than obvious at a glance.
Detail 05
1 dozen pack
Twelve picks. Enough to stash in cases, pockets, and mic stands without reordering for months.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Black picks disappear on dark floors and inside soundholes
- 02Gauge is printed on the pick, not signaled by color
- 03Tortex wears smooth over time — the tip rounds off before it breaks
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is 1.0 mm too thick for strumming?
No. It flexes enough for chords while staying firm for lead lines. It's the most common all-purpose gauge.
02Do these work on acoustic guitar?
Yes. Same pick, and 1.0 mm suits both flatpicking and strumming on acoustic.
03How is this different from regular colored Tortex?
Same material and shape. The Pitch Black version is black across all gauges instead of color-coded by thickness.
04How long does one pick last?
Depends on playing intensity and string gauge. Heavy strummers wear the tip round in weeks; casual players get months.
