Detail 01
1.14 mm thickness
Barely flexes. The pick passes your hand motion straight to the string, so attack is firmer and note separation is clearer.

DunlopTortex Standard Guitar Picks - 1.14 mm 1 Dozen
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Stiff 1.14 mm Tortex picks, twelve per bag. For players who want a pick that stays rigid under heavy picking instead of flexing away from the string.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Riffs and lead lines where you want a firm, controlled attack
- Drop tunings and heavy string gauges that push thin picks around
- Players who lose picks and want a dozen on hand
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Light acoustic strumming, where this thickness sounds stiff and clicky
- Anyone unsure of gauge preference; thinner is an easier starting point
- Players chasing the snappy chime a flexing thin tip gives
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 that keeps grip when hands sweat. Wears down gradually at the tip rather than chipping.
Detail 03
Purple
Dunlop color-codes Tortex by gauge, and purple is the 1.14 mm. Easy to pick out of a mixed jar by sight.
Detail 04
Standard shape
The common teardrop outline. Wide body for a three-finger grip, medium-rounded tip that suits both chords and single notes.
Detail 05
1 dozen
Twelve picks, roughly 48 cents each. Enough to leave some in a case, a car and a gig bag.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Gauge is personal. If unsure, buy a thinner Tortex alongside and compare directly.
- 02Picks only. No holder, clip or case included.
- 03The printed logo wears off with use and the surface gets slicker as it does.
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 chords?
For hard electric strumming it works fine. For light acoustic rhythm it can feel stiff and you'll hear more pick click against the strings.
02What gauge is the purple Tortex?
Purple is 1.14 mm in the Tortex line. It sits near the thick end of the standard range.
03How many picks are in the pack?
Twelve, all 1.14 mm purple.
04Are these a good pick for a beginner?
Tortex grip and durability suit beginners well, but 1.14 mm is stiff. Most players starting out find something in the 0.6–0.9 mm range easier.
