Detail 01
.50 mm thickness
Very flexible. Softens attack and evens out strumming, but flops on hard single-note picking.

1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Bulk box of 72 thin Tortex picks at .50 mm. For strummers who lose picks and want a consistent, flexible feel.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Acoustic and electric strumming where you want give
- Stocking a gig bag, car, and practice space at once
- Players who already know .50 mm is their gauge
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Lead players who need a stiff pick for fast single notes
- Bassists — thin picks flex too much on heavy strings
- Anyone still testing gauges; buy a variety pack first
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 holds grip in sweaty hands better than slick glossy picks.
Detail 03
Red color
Dunlop codes gauge by color. Red is .50 mm, so you can identify thickness at a glance.
Detail 04
Standard shape
Classic 351 outline with a rounded tip. Wider grip area than jazz or teardrop shapes.
Detail 05
6 dozen quantity
72 picks. Cost per pick drops well below single-pick pricing, but you're locked to one gauge.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01All 72 are the same gauge — no mixed thicknesses in the box
- 02Thin picks wear down faster; the tip rounds off with use
- 03Comes loose in a bag or box, not a display holder
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is .50 mm too thin for electric guitar?
It works fine for strumming and rhythm. For fast lead lines or heavy palm muting, most players move up to .73 mm or thicker for a firmer attack.
02How many picks is 6 dozen?
72 picks, all .50 mm and all red.
03What does the red color mean?
It identifies the gauge. Dunlop assigns each Tortex thickness its own color, and red is the .50 mm pick.
04Are Tortex picks grippy?
The surface is matte rather than glossy, so it stays in your fingers better than polished celluloid, especially with sweaty hands.
