Detail 01
1.14 mm thickness
Stiff. Almost no flex, so your picking hand controls the attack directly instead of the pick absorbing it.

DunlopTortex Pitch Black Standard Guitar Picks 1 Dozen 1.14 mm
1/3
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A dozen 1.14 mm Tortex picks. Thick and stiff — for players who want the pick to move the string, not flex around it.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Fast single-note runs where a thin pick would drag
- Players who lose picks constantly and want a stock
- Anyone whose picks keep slipping mid-song
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Loose acoustic strumming — this is too rigid
- Players who like the click and give of a thin pick
- Anyone who hasn't settled on a preferred thickness yet
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 chalky surface. Grips dry fingers well and holds on when your hands get sweaty.
Detail 03
Standard shape
The common 351-style outline. Rounded shoulders, moderate tip — fits most hands without relearning your grip.
Detail 04
Pack of 12
Enough to leave picks in a case, a gig bag, and on the amp without running out.
Detail 05
Pitch Black finish
Same feel as the color-coded Tortex line, but harder to spot if you drop one on a dark stage.
Final check
Know before you order
- 011.14 mm is thick — if you normally use .60 or .73 mm, expect an adjustment
- 02Tortex wears down at the tip; the point rounds off with heavy use
- 03Black picks are hard to find on dark floors and inside gig bags
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is 1.14 mm too thick for strumming?
For loose acoustic strumming, probably. It has almost no give, so chords come out loud and percussive rather than smooth.
02How is Pitch Black different from regular Tortex?
Same Tortex material and feel. The difference is the finish — black instead of the usual thickness-coded color.
03How many picks come in the pack?
Twelve.
04Do these grip well when my hands sweat?
Yes. Tortex has a matte, chalky surface that holds better than glossy celluloid when your fingers get damp.
