Detail 01
1.0 mm gauge
Stiff enough that almost no energy is lost to pick flex. More volume and a harder attack than a thin pick.

DunlopTortex Standard Guitar Picks - 1.0 mm 1 Dozen
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Medium-heavy 1.0 mm Tortex picks in the standard shape, twelve to a bag. A workhorse pick for players who want stiffness without going extra thick.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Riffs and lead lines needing a firm, defined attack
- Players who lose picks and want a dozen on hand
- Anyone settling on one gauge for every guitar they own
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Light acoustic strummers who want the pick to flex
- Players who want a pointed tip for fast alternate picking
- Anyone needing a specific color for stage visibility
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
Standard shape
The common 351-style teardrop most players learn on. Fits any pick holder and feels familiar immediately.
Detail 03
Blue color
Dunlop color-codes Tortex by gauge, so blue is your visual shorthand for 1.0 mm in a pile of picks.
Detail 04
1 dozen
Twelve picks at roughly 48 cents each. Cheaper per pick than buying two or three at a time.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Same shape in .50 mm if this gauge feels too rigid to strum
- 02Picks wear at the tip; a dozen is a few months of steady playing
- 03Bag of loose picks, not a tin or holder
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What gauge is the blue Tortex?
Blue is 1.0 mm. Dunlop assigns each Tortex thickness its own color so you can identify gauge by sight without measuring or reading the print.
02Is 1.0 mm good for a beginner?
It works, but it's unforgiving on strums — a stiff pick catches strings that a thinner one glides over. Many beginners start lighter and move up.
03How many picks come in a dozen?
Twelve. That's the standard Dunlop bag quantity, and the cheapest way to buy this pick short of a full player's pack.
04Does the printing rub off?
The gauge and logo are printed on the face, and they fade with use. The pick's thickness and shape are unaffected, and the color stays.
