Detail 01
1.50 mm thickness
Effectively no give. The string moves instead of the pick, so attack is loud and immediate.

DunlopTortex Sharp Guitar Picks 1 Dozen 1.50 mm
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Heavy 1.50 mm Tortex picks with a pointed tip, twelve per pack. For players who want a firm, precise attack and almost no flex.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Fast single-note runs that need a defined tip
- Hard rock and metal rhythm work with a firm attack
- Players who chew through lighter picks quickly
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Strummers who want flex and a softer, quieter attack
- New players still building pick control; 1.50 mm punishes sloppy angles
- Anyone who prefers the warmer sound of a rounded tip
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 (pointed) tip
Contact happens on a smaller area: brighter, more articulate, and easier to hit one string cleanly.
Detail 03
Tortex material
Matte, slightly chalky surface that holds grip when hands sweat and wears down gradually instead of chipping.
Detail 04
12 picks per pack
About 48 cents each. Enough to stash spares in every case, pocket, and mic stand.
Detail 05
White
Shows up on a dark stage floor and against black hardware, which matters more than it sounds.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01A jump from light gauges changes your picking hand; give it a few sessions
- 02Sharp tips round off with use and lose brightness before they wear out
- 03Every pick here is 1.50 mm — this is not an assorted gauge pack
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How many picks come in this pack?
Twelve, all 1.50 mm.
02Is 1.50 mm too heavy for acoustic strumming?
For most strumming, yes. A stiff pick makes chords loud and clicky and drags across six strings. Lighter gauges glide more and even out the attack.
03What is the difference between Tortex Sharp and regular Tortex?
Same material and thickness options. The Sharp has a pointed tip instead of a rounded one, which tightens and brightens the attack and makes single strings easier to target.
04Will these work for bass?
Yes. A stiff pick moves heavy bass strings without folding, and the pointed tip gives a bright, aggressive attack. Expect more click and less thump.
