About Us

Our Picks

BlueChip picks are the perfect connection to your instrument. Nothing comes close to the seamless relationship BlueChip picks give you. The goal of our picks is to get out of your way, to allow you to forget about the pick and just create without thought of wear, slippage, and poor tone.

The greatest players in the world are calling BlueChip Picks the greatest guitar, mandolin, and thumb picks in the world. Many amazing musicians have dropped their other picks and picked up a BlueChip.

Our picks are produced from a very high grade, self lubricating composite material specially formulated for great playing qualities. These one of a kind picks cannot be found anywhere else in the world. The patented material has great tone and speed and their self lubricating properties make them extremely fast.

“More durable than anything I’ve used. It’s super easy to hold and gets a great tone. Blue Chip has delivered.” Roy Curry

No more searching for the perfect pick. BlueChip Picks are revolutionizing the pick industry.

“…an important breakthrough in pick technology.”Steven Stone, Vintage Guitar Magazine

Because of their excellent playing qualities, BlueChip Picks work equally well with any guitar or mandolin in any musical genre and we have developed many pick shapes and thicknesses to suit any players taste. From blues to bluegrass, we have something for everyone. 

Our latest development, the banjo thumb pick is now available. This thumb pick uses the same unique, patented material as our popular flat picks paired with a laser cut, stainless steel band. BlueChip thumb picks provide banjo players the same great characteristics that flat pickers have been enjoying and raving about since we created our first one.

Our Company

BlueChip Picks is a small company based in Knoxville, TN.  These picks are the result of the hard work and planning of Matthew and Allen Goins. From design to testing, the Bluechip crew works to create the best possible product. We take great pride in seeing our picks used to help create great music. 

We have spent many long days and nights brainstorming and testing ways to make these great picks out of an amazingly expensive material and still sell them affordably, creating the best shapes, and perfecting the finish and bevel.  To help solve those problems, our picks are created on industrial grade CNC machines in our professional machine shop. These machines and their operators work daily with extraordinarily close tolerances and we must hold our picks to the same standard.  

One question we always hear, “Why are they brown and not blue?”  BlueChip picks are not blue, but were named after our machine shop, Blue Chip Machining. They are, and will always be brown due to the properties of the material used to create them.

We trust you will enjoy playing with these great picks as much as we enjoy creating them.
