Jim Dunlop PVP418 Tortex Standard Pick Variety Pack – 12 Pack

The Jim Dunlop PVP418 Tortex Standard Variety Pack is a really useful set if you are still working out which pick gauge feels right.

Rather than guessing between light, medium or heavy picks, this pack gives you all six classic Tortex Standard gauges in one go. You get two of each size, from flexible .50mm picks through to the thicker 1.14mm option, so you can properly compare how each one feels on your own guitar.

It is a simple accessory, but it can make a bigger difference than people expect. The pick changes the feel, attack and response of the guitar before the sound even reaches the amp.

What Do They Actually Feel Like?

Tortex picks have that familiar slightly textured feel that helps them stay in your hand without feeling sticky. They are not as slippery as some glossy plastic picks, which is one of the reasons so many guitarists keep coming back to them.

The lighter gauges are more flexible and suit strumming, acoustic rhythm work and players who like a softer attack. The medium gauges give you a good balance between strumming and picking. The heavier gauges feel firmer, with more control for lead lines, riffs, single-note work and players who want a stronger attack.

Having all six gauges in one pack means you can try them properly rather than buying a full pack of one size and hoping for the best.

Who Is This Pack For?

This is a great choice for beginners, students, teachers and any guitarist who is not completely sure what pick thickness they prefer yet.

It is also handy for more experienced players who use different picks for different jobs. You might prefer a lighter pick for acoustic strumming, a medium pick for everyday electric playing, and a heavier one for lead work or heavier rhythm parts.

For shops, teaching studios and guitar cases, this is a very useful pack to keep around because there is usually something in here that will suit most players.

Not Sure Which Pick Gauge You Need?

This pack is exactly the right place to start if you are not sure.

For strumming, try the lighter .50mm or .60mm picks first. For a good all-round feel, try .73mm or .88mm. For firmer picking, lead lines or heavier playing, try the 1.0mm or 1.14mm picks.

There is no single correct answer with picks. It depends on your guitar, strings, playing style and how much resistance you like under your hand. This variety pack lets you work that out properly.
