Citation/mention fame — how often this gear is cited across artist rigs and gear discussion.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.
Dunlop Tortex Slash picks are signature picks designed for guitarist Slash. Their durable tortoiseshell material provides warm tone and consistent playability. The Slash picks appeal to players seeking his signature feel.
