John Pearse Fast Tortoise Casein Guitar Picks

Quantity = 1 Pick

Although true tortoiseshell picks are no longer legal, you can get the next-best thing with John Pearse guitar picks. Their casein guitar picks use a synthetic protein material that resembles the casein protein found in milk. It’s widely considered the closest approximation of an authentic tortoiseshell pick with an excellent feel, fast attack and warm sound.

John Pearse Fast Turtle thin guitar picks have an asymmetrical design with a different shape on each corner. This gives you three playing options depending on how dark you want your tone to be and makes the pick easier to hold. The 1.2mm thin Fast Turtle pick is ideal for strumming and some lead work on vintage jazz or rock songs. Each pick even has a tortoise shell color pattern. Remember to be gentle as they can break under excess torque.
