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.

Former player needing pick
Posted by Turbo 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!

Quality tone
Posted by Barry 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.

Please don't lose it. Please don't lose it. Please don't....
Posted by Ben Wright 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.

Excellent
Posted by Dutch Octopus 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.

Excellent thumb pick!
Posted by Doug Wolfley 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.

Banjo pick
Posted by Chris on 2nd May 2022
I’ve seen a number of folks using this thumb pick on YouTube, but it took awhile to track it down. Very happy with the fit, comfort and tone. It isn’t cheap, but neither is it cheaply made. I expect it to last a very long time,

Best pick, you need this!
Posted by Unknown on 13th Apr 2022
There is no better pick, it is sound defining! If you are here, then you already know there is a hype and it is real. I did not realize how much I needed these picks until I tried to play without one, absolutely game changing.

Wonderful Tone
Posted by Steve Youtz on 12th Mar 2022
I have been finger picking for a long time, however I am fairly new to using a thumb pick. Covid gave me time to learn a few new things. While I usually prefer the sound of flesh for finger picking, the tone of this pick is very warm. Now I only use a Blue Chip when I use a pick.

An investment in being a better player
Posted by Larry Johnson on 31st Jan 2022
When I got my first BlueChip thumb pick a couple of years ago I spent an hour doing an A-B comparison with my plastic National. The difference in tone was undeniable and amazing. I was sold, and bought three more. I’ve grown to very much appreciate the consistent fit, comfort and reliability. No more stretching, slipping and often breaking that comes with plastic. All the glowing reviews from the pros ring true. My J.D. Crowe BlueChip thumb picks are an investment in being a better player and worth the price. After 50 years of guitar pickin' my right hand and both ears can’t thank you enough for such a great product.
