    Great!

    Having been on a constant search for the perfect thumb pick... this one is definitely the best fitting I have tried (medium for Dunlop and Slick Picks)! I'm anxious to try the same version with the guitar bevel (i.e. both sides)coming soon! (Specified in the "comments" tab of the order form!).

    excellent tone and glide

    Posted by nick on 7th Apr 2025

    This is a really great thumbpick, I noticed its superiority to my usual white dunlops almost immediately. The tone is perhaps less percussive, so I still reach for the dunlop when i want that effect, but overall it is a much more pleasant and articulate tone. The material really seems to glide on the strings which I notice most when doing Doc Watson style thumb rakes across the strings. It also stays on my thumb better than most thumb picks due to the adjustable metal. My only gripe is the same with all thumbpicks, for me it does tend to come loose when I play hard. I have notoriously sweaty hands so this issue may be unique to me, but I would love to see an option either with a perfect touch-style attachment system or simply some holes where the thumb pad makes contact for added grip.

    Best quality! No i‘m satisfied.

    Posted by Andreas on 28th Feb 2024

    I‘m from Germany and the white dunlop thumb picks i played before didn‘t fit very well and had a feeling of plastic. So i ordered one directly from BlueChip. You immediately notice that a lot of know-how has gone into its manufacture. It hugs the thumb wonderfully and doesn't pinch anywhere. The feel and sound of the blade is a big difference to the Dunlops. I'm just happy that it fits so well and is very nice to play. Great Job, great company.

You can tell that a lot of work and know-how has gone into this product. The pick fits snugly on the thumb and doesn't pinch anywhere. The sound and feel of the blade material is very pleasant.

    The thumb pick of my dreams

    Posted by Unknown on 24th Oct 2023

    I had tried dozens of thumb picks trying to figure out which one works for me. My hands sweat easy so fully plastic picks had a tendency to spin on my thumb. This pick fits like a glove and has a really nice, rich sound. If you’re asking yourself “is this pick worth the money” let this review act as the sign that it absolutely is.

    Fits my thumb snug and sounds great.

    Posted by Unknown on 29th Jun 2022

    I like how light the BlueChip is and how little my thumb has to work compared to when I used a metal Jim Dunlop thumbpick. I was worried about the medium not fitting but it slipped right on and rarely slips off. Plus, it sounds great.

    The Original Bluechip Banjo Thumb Pick

    Posted by Mike Acquesta on 10th Jul 2021

    With standard plastic thumb chips, because I pick hard, those plastic thumb picks would leave a residue on the strings that would cause the strings to buzz. I would constantly have to wipe the strings to eliminate the buzz. With the Bluechip thumb pick, there is no residue left on the strings, so there is no need to continually wipe the strings. The Bluechip thumb picks also wear down much slower, meaning I do not have to replace them as often. Fantastic sound, as well.
