The Tor-tis pickguard material is not the same material used for tortis picks. If you are interested in a rishi made from tortis, you should contact
red bear trading at redbeartrading.com. They could probably make you one. I recently spoke with Dave Skowran from red bear and he explained to me the
difference between the two materials. I'll attach the e-mail and hopefully it will help. - Justin
Hi Justin,
The guards are made of Tor-tis, a plastic, by John Greven's company "Turtle Works". My picks are made from New Tortis - an organic product, by my
company "Red Bear Trading Company". The material I use makes lousy pickguards and the material John uses makes lousy picks!
John was the one who turned me onto the material to make the picks from.
He let me use a hybrid of his "Tor-tis" name, hence "New Tortis".
My picks are all but indistinguishable from real tortoise shell.
Regards,
Dave Skowron
Red Bear Trading Co.

Habbeebkum,
I'm not making the Tor-tis picks at the moment, but keep your eye out. Something may happen in the future. Stay tuned.......
