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.

nice attack angle.....produces a good solid tone and doesn't dig into your thumb...stays in place without cutting the circulation to the thumb also

excellent product, efficient order and shipping.
the BCT-JDL is too short for my big thumb !!!
It is too small but quite " comfortable"
I'll order the BCT-1L on your excellent site .

This is the very best thumb pick available. Fits nicely, creates great tone, and does not stick to strings. Very fluid and very well made. Yes, it is costly, the price made me think long and hard but it is worth every nickel. Very happy with this pick.

I am a cheapskate so the blue chip thumb pick never came on my radar. I was continually frustrated with my plastic pics getting hung up on my 5th string - that will shut down a solo faster than "shave and a haircut". However with the Blue Chip there is no catching or anxiety. My only issue is that I need to order another one because my son keeps taking mine.

Really, really great pick. Plenty of thumb picks give good tone but I've never found one that fits even close to as well as a blue chip. It stays exactly where it's supposed to all the time and sounds great. It's worth every penny and I'll definitely try other models...

I'm a latecomer and relative 'newbie' to the banjo. The first BCT-JDL was a gift and quickly became the only one I use! The second one was an insurance policy against losing my favorite pick! I can't imagine how long it will take to wear one out; and the construction and materials appear bullet-proof. Class Act. You get my vote.

The BlueChip team is very helpful and communication with questions or responding to tickets about issues is stellar. I've had nothing but the best service from them.
The product? Simply the only thumb pick I use now. It took a little while to get used to the feel, and the shape, but once I found the right spot, I've not looked at using any other thumb picks on the market....none of them come anywhere near the power and tone I get from my BlueChip picks (I have one of each + one special custom all of them are killer tools in my arsenal).

I've had trouble finding thumb picks that really fit since I first started picking on the banjo 15 years ago. No pick I ever found ever felt quite secure, and I would find myself pushing the pick back into place every few minutes. That all changed when someone had me check out their new Bluechip thumb pick. The first time I tried it, I instantly felt the difference. It just seemed to fit securely and comfortably for the outset. I ordered one the very next day, and I've enjoyed every second of playing it. I only wish I'd found it years before!

Makes great clean sound striking strings. Put it on and forget about it--stays put on my thumb, most comfortable thumb pick I've used, does not get in the way. I couldn't ask for more.

Unbelievable fit and performance. Doesn't slide around on the thumb and totally eliminates the chafing sound produced by other picks. Provides a tremendous boost to the sound quality and playing confidence.
