Jim Dunlop – Tortex Jazz III .73mm Plectrum – Yellow

The Best of Both Worlds: Speed and Flex

For many players, the standard Jazz III is too rigid for acoustic strumming, while the standard Tortex is too bulky for fast lead work. The Dunlop Tortex Jazz III 0.73mm is the answer. By taking the iconic, sharp-tipped Jazz III shape and rendering it in the thinner “Yellow” 0.73mm gauge, Dunlop has created a pick that offers lightning-fast string release with just enough flex for a dynamic, musical snap.

Signature Tortex Grip and Tone

Like all picks in the Tortex family, the Yellow Jazz III features a matte, powder-like surface that provides a superior grip, even when your hands get sweaty mid-set. The 0.73mm thickness provides a brighter, more “chirpy” attack than its thicker counterparts, making it a favorite for funk, indie rock, and alternative players who need their notes to pop out of the mix.

Engineered for Versatility

Whether you are alternate-picking through a complex solo or digging into a heavy rhythm part, this plectrum stays right where you need it. The smaller profile forces a more controlled grip, while the Delrin-based Tortex material ensures the tip won’t wear down prematurely, maintaining that signature Jazz III precision for hours of playtime.

GuitarBuddy Tip

If you find yourself dropping standard picks because they feel like “sails” in your hand, try these! The smaller surface area of the Jazz III 0.73mm reduces air resistance and string drag, but the Yellow gauge keeps your acoustic guitar sounding bright and percussive rather than “thumpy.”
