Detail 01
1.35 mm thickness
Stiff enough that it barely flexes. Your picking hand controls the dynamics instead of the pick absorbing them.

DunlopTortex Sharp Guitar Picks 1 Dozen 1.35 mm
1/3
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Dozen 1.35mm Tortex picks with a pointed tip. For players who want stiffness and a sharp attack for lead work.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Fast single-note runs where a pointed tip tracks strings cleanly
- Heavy rhythm playing that needs a pick that won't flex
- Players whose hands slip on glossy celluloid picks
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Light acoustic strumming — this thickness sounds stiff and clacky
- Players used to thin picks; 1.35mm is a big jump
- Anyone wanting a warm, rounded attack
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
Sharp tip shape
Pointed rather than rounded, so it exits the string faster. Brighter attack and more precision on single notes.
Detail 03
Tortex material
Matte, slightly chalky surface that grips dry fingers well and holds up longer at the tip than celluloid.
Detail 04
Black color coding
Dunlop codes Tortex gauges by color, so black identifies this thickness at a glance in a pile of picks.
Detail 05
Sold as one dozen
Twelve per pack. Enough to leave picks in the case, the board, and the gig bag.
Final check
Know before you order
- 011.35mm is thick — if you normally play .73mm, the difference is significant
- 02Sharp tips wear to a rounder point over time and change the attack
- 03Tortex is matte but has no raised grip or hole texture
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How does Sharp differ from standard Tortex?
Same Tortex material and gauge, different tip. Sharp comes to a point instead of the standard rounded triangle tip, which gives a brighter, more precise attack on single notes.
02Is 1.35mm too thick for strumming?
It's on the heavy side. A stiff pick doesn't flex across a chord, so strums come out louder and more percussive. Most strummers prefer something under 1mm.
03Why is it black?
Dunlop color-codes Tortex by gauge. Black is the 1.35mm marker, so you can identify thickness without reading the print.
04Do these work for bass?
Yes. A stiff pick suits bass strings, which need more force to move than guitar strings. The sharp tip gives a defined attack.
