Unlike many local options, Tortex picks offer exceptional durability and a consistent matte grip that resists wear. This pack of 12 .88mm green picks provides a reliable, long-lasting supply for dedicated players seeking that signature bright, snappy attack and tonal versatility. **Ideal For Rhythm & Lead Guitarists** — These .88mm gauge Tortex picks are best suited for guitarists who prefer a medium-heavy feel for both powerful strumming and precise lead playing. If you require a very light pick for delicate fingerstyle or a super-heavy pick for extreme bass playing, you might explore other gauges. For most electric and acoustic guitarists seeking a balanced, durable, and grippy pick with a bright tone, this 12-pack is an excellent choice. ## How to use 1. Hold the Jim Dunlop Tortex pick between your thumb and index finger, with about 1/4 inch of the pick extending out. Ensure a firm but relaxed grip on the matte surface for maximum control. — Grip the Pick 2. Use the pick to strike the guitar strings. Experiment with the angle of the pick against the string – a flatter angle produces a warmer tone, while a sharper angle yields a brighter, snappier attack. — Strike the Strings 3. For strumming, use a sweeping motion across multiple strings. For picking, focus on individual notes with precision. The .88mm gauge offers a good balance for both techniques, providing clarity and power. — Strum or Pick ## Product details | Field | Value | |---|---| | Primary Material | Tortex (Acetal) | | Grip Enhancement | Matte surface texture | | Recommended Use | Guitar playing (electric, acoustic, bass) | | Playing Style Suitability | Rhythm, lead, versatile | | Quantity per Pack | 12 picks | | Cost per use | 12 picks at ₹788 — ₹65.67 per pick | | Brand | Jim Dunlop | | Model Number | 418P.88 | | Color | Green | | Material | Tortex | | Gauge | 0.88 mm | | Pack Size | 12 Picks | | Shape | Standard | | Surface | Matte Grip | | Country of Origin | Made in U.S.A. | ## Frequently asked questions ### Is plectrum safe?
