Yes, you can use tortex sheathing to make guitar picks. Tortex is a popular material known for its durability and grip, making it ideal for pick production. You can cut it into your desired shape and thickness to create custom picks that suit your playing style. Just ensure the edges are smoothed for a comfortable playing experience.
My personal favorite guitar pick is the "Dunlop Tortex .88mm" guitar pick.These picks are very very strong and don't shred to pieces and break like other picks.I would really recommend getting these!http://accessories.musiciansfriend.com/product/Dunlop-Tortex-Standard-Picks?sku=110040The only thing is, you need to decide what thickness you want it.. Thicker ones produce a deeper sound on a guitar, and thinner ones make a lighter sound on the guitar. So you need to decide what thickness you want.. I love .88mm
You can purchase Dunlop custom guitar picks at the official Jim Dunlop website. You can also purchase them from personal sellers on the auction website eBay.
