D'Addario Cortex Guitar Picks (10-Pack) — .50mm

Tortoise-Shell Feel, Modern Durability

D'Addario Cortex picks in .50mm are precision molded to eliminate grain structure, so every pick in the 10-pack responds the same way. The result is a pick that closely resembles genuine tortoise shell in both feel and sound — warm, natural, and responsive — while delivering the strength, durability, and heat resistance a real shell pick never could.

Crisp Tone, Excellent Attack

Cortex offers a clean, crisp tone with excellent attack for superior note definition, letting notes leap off the strings. The dense, dynamic material tracks fast passages cleanly and holds a consistent edge far longer than celluloid, so your tone stays put set after set.

Construction & Details

• Material: Precision-molded Ultem for a tortoise-shell-like feel and sound.
• Response: Grain-free molding for consistent, dynamic pick response.
• Durability: High strength and heat resistance — long-lasting and slow to wear.
• Pack: Convenient 10-pack, so you always have a spare in the case.

Built to Last

Where softer picks round off and lose their point, Cortex keeps its shape and its bite. That consistency is why players who love the warmth of shell but are tired of chipping and cracking reach for these instead.
