skeptical cynic convert
Posted by Fred on 4th Feb 2020
Purchased a TAD-45 years ago and kept in my pick fob afraid to use it without losing it. So .. while enjoying the smoothness and quietness of the flatpick I didn't commit to that being my pick. Additionally my focus was more Piedmont style rather than flatpicking. Lately picking more and attmpting crossover flatpicking with the thumbpick I started eatin up more of the GG's thumbpick. I picked up the BCT-RES-1L. Fit was fine. Smoothness was great. However the thickness darkened the tone of my HD28VS (notoriously NOT a bright sounding guitar) Contacted BC and ordered the BCT-1L to check out the possibility of brighter tone of the thinner pick. Very satisfied. Was prepared to ship back the BCT-RES-1L but tried my reso... It now resides with the Reso....

Eliminates scraping noise
Posted by Charles Adamek on 18th Jul 2019
I have used the Blue Chip thump pick for five years. Had to buy a new one because I lost my old one. It still had years of service left. Best thing I have ever done to improve tone quality on my banjo. Eliminates any possible scraping sound caused by wear on a plastic pick. Highly recommended.

Great Thumb Pick
Posted by William Sansburn on 31st May 2019
Heard about this from a friend in Texas. On our way back to Michigan I purchased a M at a guitar store in Nashville and waffled between a M and a L. I went with the M. When I got home I had trouble with the size, too tight. I ordered a L and am very satisfied. Will recommend it to others!

Large pick
Posted by Neil L Linden on 7th May 2018
I would have given 5 stars and the picks are great, but I am surprised if no one else has this issue. I have used a L thumb pick for 50 years and the Bluechip L just floated around my thumb and I could not adjust it smaller. The medium fits fine. Maybe I just needed to adjust it more, but I didn't want to crimp it. It says on the site that it fits just like any standard large thumb pick, which I think needs more explanation.

Standard Blue Chip thumb pick
Posted by Arnie Fleischer on 11th Sep 2017
I'm not new to this pick. I talked to Matthew shortly after it came on the market years ago and he sent me one gratis. Some time later I switched to the JD pick and used that for several years. But then, this past April, out of curiosity, I went back to the original design and decided that I preferred it to the JD because of the blade size and shape and the way the band felt on my thumb. I placed this order to have a back-up pick, but the way they last I may never get to use it!

BCT-1L ThumbPick
Posted by Fred Di Censo on 22nd May 2017
I like the fit and feel coming off the bass strings
of the guitar.
A little pricey - but a good investment.

already ordered a backup because I like it them so well
Posted by Jonathan on 28th Nov 2016
I have been using Blue Chip flat picks for several years now. So when I recently decided to learn how to play the banjo, I naturally had to "try out" the Blue Chip thumb pick. I wear an x-large glove size , but the "Large" sized thumb pick fit my big thumb nicely. The blade length works well for me, and the material in which the blade is made feels virtually frictionless against the strings.

Hard to beat
Posted by Steve Parker on 7th Oct 2016
I've purchased at least 6 bluechip thumb picks and you'd be hard pressed to find a smoother material. If there is any negative, it's that you can't shorten the blade length yourself without introducing a scratchy sound. At least I've not been able to. One reason is they put a beveled edge on it. But to Matt's credit at Bluechip, they are always willing to customize to your desire and are great to work with. Very quick to respond to any question or request. Customer Service is where I separate vendors. Matt and his team do a GREAT job!

snug fit
Posted by Steve on 10th Aug 2016
I like the design and fit
The tone (I play dobro) is good but still not as clean and sharp as the pro pik (which doesn't fit as snug/tight as the blue chip).
Can't understand why since the material is supposed to be the same
