The Dunlop Jazz III is one of the most widely used and imitated guitar pick shapes in modern playing, a small, pointed pick originally designed for jazz guitarists needing precise articulation, now embraced broadly across rock, metal, and shred-oriented lead playing for its enhanced pick control and articulation. Made from Dunlop's durable nylon material, it delivers a stiff, precise attack favored by players prioritizing speed and note definition.
The Dunlop Tortex Pitch Black Jazz III is a small, sharply pointed pick shape originally developed for jazz guitarists needing precision on fast single-note lines, made from Tortex, Dunlops nylon-based material designed to mimic the feel of vintage tortoiseshell picks that are no longer legal to produce. The Jazz III shape has become popular well outside jazz for its stiffness and precise attack on fast alternate picking. Andy Timmons, known for rapid, articulate lead lines, is associated with this pick shape and gauge.
