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.

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.

Best thumb pick in 50 years
Posted by Marty on 28th May 2020
Wished I had learned of these picks years ago. Tired of going through Dunlops, my previous favorite, that seem to shorten after two or three sessions. This one fits well, stays put, doesn't diminish in length, and the tone is just right on all three strings (G, D, G). Worth every penny. You won't be disappointed.

Quality product at a quality price
Posted by Clayton Stalker on 5th May 2020
This is a well constructed and engineered thumb pick that I expect will outlast most of the others I use. I was able to file it down to a size I prefer and it’s very comfortable to play. It’s expensive for sure, but durable and effective.

Custom order - service: 10/10
Posted by John St. John on 16th Apr 2020
I ordered a custom CT55 mounted as a thumbpick, to help me control my pick when playing mandolin. As an old guy with a bit of arthritis, I found myself struggling to stay relaxed, and keep my pick from moving about in my hand. I was concerned that any fixed position would not be ideal. I wanted the ability to rotate the pick, to various styles of playing. (striking a little off the tip for tremolo, for instance.)
A couple of emails to explain what I wanted.....and, in less than a week, I got just what I asked for. This pick has given me much more control over my pick.......which helps me play smoother (Smooth is fast, fast is smooth) more relaxed, and with less hand fatigue. . Thank you so much!

Great Pick
Posted by Richard Fredrickson on 26th Mar 2020
I've used Blue Chip flat picks for years-love 'em; I'm mostly a guitar player. I have, however, gotten tired of the tips of my plastic thumb picks wearing down when I play banjo-always a new length tip to get used to when replacing an old worn thumb pick with a new one. I am so far very pleased with this pick and expect it to hold-up well for much longer! Thanks

GAME CHANGER!
Posted by Victor Smith on 3rd Mar 2020
The BCT-JD Thumbpick is a total Game Changer for myself. The absolute dead security of the metal band holds true, even for the heaviest of attacks on medium gauge strings.
I have been using thumbpicks for over 45 years. They are definitive for my playing style. But I always thought that I needed to learn to control my note to note attack times. Sometimes I sounded a bit harsh if I was not super careful.
Well, as it turns out it was not so much as me, but the pick material I was using before. Blue Chip pick material is so smooth sounding. I seemingly-instantly became a more controlled player. Smoother note to note playing.
No more harshness! Can't Thank Blue Chip enough for their creation of this perfect product!
The JD might have been designed for Banjo? But let me tell you, it is the perfect length for Acoustic Guitar.

A Great Gift
Posted by Al Price on 1st Jan 2020
I have used the standard BC thumbpick for years. I called looking for the best option for Christmas for my son, who plays pedal steel. After talking with the customer service person, I decided on the JDL for him. It was the perfect choice, and was sent promptly.
He loves it, and I greatly appreciate the help in choosing it.

Takes a lickin' and keeps on pickin'!
Posted by Scott Amos on 30th Dec 2019
After 20 years of breaking plastic thumb picks made by a company that I won't mention - but it is a National-ly known company ;) I have found a high quality and virtually indestructible thumb pick in the BCT-JDL
The Blue Chip blade rings true and extracts a clean tone from the strings, it is attached to the stainless steel band with 2 rivets and they have not loosened in over 6 years of playing. I have since ordered a BCT-JDL for my Resonator Guitar and a spare BCT-JDL for backup in case I lose one, and have ordered a BCT-JDL for a young banjer picker who was ready for the transition to a professional's thumb pick - he was so impressed with the tone and quality that it inspired him to double his practice time.

BCT-JDL Thumbpick - Guitar player
Posted by roger on 28th Oct 2019
I had my thumb turn blue one too many times so I sought the advice of a banjo player pal of mine who suggested a BlueChip thumbpick -- not only for comfort but for the tone and the way the pick glides across the strings.
I was very skeptical of shelling out the big bucks - but wow - I'm glad I did.
This pick has made playing a lot more enjoyable - kind of like cruising the down the highway in an Electra 225 on a cool day with the windows rolled down.
I recommend trying one.
