For years it seems like I have been searching for the one pick that would fit me best. I've tried all of these dunlop specialty picks and they all had a flaw or attribute that didn't gel with me. The Jazz III picks were too small. The Jazz III XL didn't feel right. The Tortex Sharp were too pointy and didn't have enough meat on them. And the Ultex didn't have any grip leverage to them and they would just stick to you; making it hard to adjust. I finally deicided to stick with the Dunlop Tortex picks; I mean nothing beats the original right? Then I discovered these TIII picks and let me tell you, Dunlop finally made the ultimate pick. I has the body and feel of a normal Toltex pick but with the Jazz III tip, but its not super pointy like the Tortex Sharps; it still has body to it. But most importantly, were the Ultex and Ultex Sharp had the grip but not give, these picks do.
In closing, if you are a rhythm player mainly or just like a bigger/normal sized pick but with the speed and attack that you would only get with a pointy pick like the jazz III; then pick these up, you won't be dissappointed!

Not Great For Strumming
These are as great as you'd expect from Dunlop as far as quality goes. I'm more of a strummer than a picker, so as far as playability goes, I still prefer my usual .73mm...Read complete review

Comments about Dunlop Tortex T3 Sharp Tip Guitar Picks 12-Pack:
Nice shape to the pick (sharp) which I find advantageous when playing jazz (Rythm / Lead).
Releases from the strings real smooth and imparts a more fuller tone to the single notes or chords. Has same feel and texture as the other tortex picks. I hope that Dunlop decides on producing a 2.0 thickness of this pick in the future (my preferred thickness).
Pros
- Enhanced pick attack
- Familiar material
Cons
- Not for strumming chords
Best Uses
- 12-string electric
- Leads
- Live use
Comments about Dunlop Tortex T3 Sharp Tip Guitar Picks 12-Pack:
I have always loved the yellow D'addario picks .073 for their durability and flexibility. They are especially great for live use due to their inability to rip or tear. The only minus is that they are a little stiff and heavy-handed. Over the years I have used other picks, but this one would always do the job, it just doesn't have the expressiveness that other materials do.
Now with the sharper point they gain new functionality. The pick attack is brighter and more accurate, and as a result is great for leads (especially rock and blues) where you want to drive the ice-pick sound out of the pickups. They also tend to be a bit more expressive now, too.
Where this pick really shines is on electric 12-string because the close string width requires intense accuracy and a crisp attack. This allows you to play the dainty Tom Petty/Byrds sound without the slop. These are perfect for this function, as well as non-strummed acoustic 12-string. If you strum big chords you will probably be replacing your strings more often - it doesn't really work well for this function.
This is mostly what I'm using these days for live shows, and they are more durable and reliable than almost any other pick I've tried. Highly recommended.
Comments about Dunlop Tortex T3 Sharp Tip Guitar Picks 12-Pack:
Love the sharp picks for speedy picking, but some other techniques sufferd (found it hard to pinch harmonics). This is a great compromise... feels big and solid, but familiar.
Tortex quality
Comments about Dunlop Tortex T3 Sharp Tip Guitar Picks 12-Pack:
If you are looking for more control in your playing, get these picks! No joke.
In my opinion, this is the perfect pick. Standard Size Tortex + Jazz III Tip = Success. It so quick and articulate that your playing will almost be effortless. Not to mention the tones and harmonics that can be coaxed out of the strings due to the quicker attack. Much better for legato playing, picking, runs, etc. Much better for everything and and overall superior pick.
100% as usual.
Musicians Friend always has excellent prices. These picks aren't expensive, but the difference they make is huge.

Comments about Dunlop Tortex T3 Sharp Tip Guitar Picks 12-Pack:
As a guitarist, I value both the feel AND the speed of the pick that I'm using. I loved the feel and tone of the Tortex standard pick, but I also loved the speed and accuracy that the Jazz III picks gave me. I settled playing with the standard Tortex because I appreciated the tone and feel more than the speed, but I don't need to settle anymore. These picks are phenomenal because they add the best features from both picks. They give you the warm Tortex sound and the feel of the larger pick, but have the picking tip of the JIIIs. They're not as fast as the Jazz picks, but they're way faster than the standard Tortex. The only problem I have with these picks is that 1.0mm is the thickest gauge they have (as opposed to 1.14 on other Tortexes), but that is Dunlop's fault, not Musicians Friend's. Get these if you want the best of both worlds.
