Detail 01
1.0 mm gauge
Barely flexes. Your hand controls the attack instead of the pick, which helps accuracy but is unforgiving on hard strums.

DunlopTortex T3 Guitar Picks 12-Pack 1.0 mm
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A dozen 1.0 mm picks. Stiff enough for lead work and heavy rhythm, aimed at electric players who want a firm, controlled attack.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Single-note lines and fast picking that need a rigid tip
- Palm-muted electric rhythm with a defined attack
- Bass players who use a pick and want no flex
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Light acoustic strumming, where 1.0 mm sounds stiff and clicky
- Players who like the pick to give against the strings
- Anyone new to picks who has not tried a medium yet
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
Blue
Dunlop color-codes Tortex by thickness, so blue always means 1.0 mm. Quick to identify in a pile of picks.
Detail 03
12-pack
About 48 cents a pick. Enough to keep spares in a case, on the amp, and in a pocket.
Detail 04
$5.76
Low enough to buy a second gauge alongside it and find out which one you actually prefer.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Nothing else is included — no tin, case, or holder
- 02Thicker picks last longer but change your attack noticeably at first
- 03If you mostly strum acoustic, a thinner gauge will suit you better
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is 1.0 mm too thick for a beginner?
It can be. Thick picks reward controlled picking and punish heavy strumming. Many players start nearer 0.73 mm and work up.
02What does the blue color mean?
It identifies the gauge. Every blue Tortex is 1.0 mm, so you can pick the right thickness by sight.
03Will these work for bass?
Yes. 1.0 mm is stiff enough to drive bass strings without folding, which is the main problem with thin picks on bass.
04How is this different from the .60 mm version?
Only thickness and color. The 1.0 mm is stiffer and more precise; the .60 mm flexes and suits strumming.
