Just wanted to fill yall in: Dunlop is coming out with a new Tortex pick, the Tortex TIII.

"We’re marking the 30th anniversary of Tortex with the TIII, a pick that combines the ever popular Jazz III tip with the tried and true familiarity of Tortex material."

"# Tone and feel of Tortex.
# Speed and precision of Jazz III.
# Available in standard Tortex gauges."

"The TIII is a natural evolution that was guided by the demands of players, and in our effort to create the most effective tools in the industry, we are proud to introduce this awesome fusion of two great picks. Available in standard. Gauges (MM): .50, .60, .73, .88, 1.0, 1.14MM"



Sounds and looks pretty cool, probably gonna get a a batch of reds and oranges. Probably gonna turn into a regular for me.

Now If They Would Only Put A Grip On Them That Would Be Great. I Dont Use Them Because I Drop Them Alot. Just A Thought.

yeah, when i first saw them i was like, woah, im not gonna be able to hold this, and when i strummed with one it felt good.

plus, if you think it dont have enough grip, get some skateboard deck grip, cut it out and stick it on. works great.

Will have to give these a try. I only use Tortex 1.0mm picks, they last forever and grip well.

Since I mainly use one of the two other points, the change of tip shape doesn't really make a difference to me. :lol: I wish they made picks the size and shape of a small Jazz III with tortex material.

Looks like the same shape as an Ultex Sharp. If it's the same size and shape, I'm sure I'll like them. It'll be nice to have some that are a color that won't get lost in my carpet.

It Would Be Great If They Did A Max Type Grip. My Hands Get Dry In Winter And Because I Handle Digital Media All Day I Dont Use Hand Cream.
