Product Description

This is our JD Crowe thumb pick in a size large. This pick was designed by JD Crowe and constructed to his very exacting specifications. The BCT-JDL is the exact pick that JD uses. The pick bears JD's initials on the inside between the rivets. It is constructed using a custom designed stainless steel band and a 50/1000 of an inch(1.25mm) thick BlueChip pick. These picks are laser etched, professionally machined, and hand beveled to create the best thumb pick available.

Size compares to a standard large thumb pick of any brand.

  1. Well made pick, just not for me. 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 28th Dec 2022

    I ordered the large size as recommended by the description as I currently use a Jim Donlop large plastic thumb pick. It just doesn’t fit as tightly as I am used to so I did not have the control I’m used too. It wasn’t a matter of size as the way it fit me. The pick arrived in excellent condition and finish was superb. The good thing is BlueChip is allowing me to exchange it for a pick of my choice. It’s great to deal with such a reliable company.


  2. Best fit ever but could it be better 4 Star Review

    Posted by on 30th Nov 2022

    I have been using Dunlop large picks (metal and plastic) for over 40 years. It amazing how much better the BlueChip pick hugs my thumb. I also love the sound produced by it.
    I would have given it a 5-star rating if it was a tighter fit. I always used a large Dunlop pick and thought the BlueChip would be similar. It is fairly snug but only if it is positioned next to my knuckle. If it was less expensive I would try the medium size to see if it was a better fit.


  3. Works great for me 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 23rd Nov 2022

    I use the BlueChip JD version for pedal steel. It fits better than any other thumbpick I've tried and remains comfortable throughout the gig. It also sounds very good. Highly recommended...I bought another in case I lose it.


  4. Thumb pick JDL 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 21st Nov 2022

    Best thumb pick I've ever tried. Holds firmly on my thumb and blade is exactly there where it should be. I will buy another and refer to friends. Thanks for excellent product!


  5. search is over 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 20th Nov 2022

    having a wide thumb, I always have trouble finding a pick that's comfortable for extended playing time. no more. these are perfect. fit is awesome. like a piece of jewelry. being an old disabled veteran, it was hard to justify the expense. so glad I took the plunge. playing banjo is sort of a therapy for me and now it's more enjoyable and my playing is better. top notch quality and should last for years.


  6. Former player needing pick 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 8th Oct 2022

    I played professionally about ten years ago but chose another path in life. A coworker recently pressured me to bring my banjo into work. I played for them, rust and all, then my trusty GG thumb pick broke. Not having my stash on me or an extra (backup banjo) I had to play claw hammer.

    I don’t always buy into hype, but I finally broke down and bought one. I remembered trying out a Blue Chip last Memorial Day and liking it. I was torn as which version to get. As soon as I opened the package and hit a tune I knew I got the right one. Comfort and tone were evident right out of the box. I feel that I would also like the other models, but may be inclined to shorten the blade, so I chose the JD-L.

    I’m sold!


  7. Quality tone 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 25th Sep 2022

    I'm new to thumbpicks, but not to playing (58 years). I bought thumbpicks from a few sources and nothing can come close to the rich tone from the pick. 6 months ago if you told me thumb picks sound different from each other I would have laughed.


  8. Please don't lose it. Please don't lose it. Please don't.... 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 20th Sep 2022

    I've always found it hard to justify buying one of these. It's probably a 15% increase in sound quality out of the thumb. What I didn't realize until now...is that that's a lot. Well worth the purchase. Here's hoping I don't lose it.


  9. Excellent 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 17th Sep 2022

    Fits right, works well, no catching on strings like with my previous thumbpick. I don't know if these stainless steel products contain any nickel, but no allergies yet.

    Unfortunately I dropped it once and now it has a small dent in it and clasps slightly less tightly, so be careful.


  10. Excellent thumb pick! 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 2nd May 2022

    During research, I found only excellent reports on the Blue Chip JD Crowe thumb pick. It is very light, fits my thumb very well and extremely comfortable. The sound it creates on my banjo is equally outstanding. I am extremely pleased and highly recommend it to anyone who is considering purchasing one. I am glad I did.
