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.

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.

Well built thumb pick. Great fit and stay on and in place without falling off or cutting off the circulation. Would buy again. Thanks

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.

“thumb up”

So far love my new thumb pick.

Still a fan, but new ones not quite as good.
Posted by Laurence on 19th Feb 2019
I bought my first T-JD over 10 years ago and it quickly became the only pick I could ever use. I simply can't play with any other thumb pick now. But recently, the blade shattered while I was trying to adjust the band with pliers (which seems odd). Anyway, I immediately ordered another. Long story short, the new one did not have the smoothly beveled edged of my original, creating a rather rough sound and feel when it hits the string. Seems like quality control is not as good as it was.

Show your thumb some love...
Posted by David on 18th Feb 2019
Yes, this pick is pricey, but do you and your thumb a favor! I have tried various plastics thumb picks - (Standard Dunlop, National, and Zookies). I have spent lots of time trying to get a comfortable fits with the plastic picks by putting them in boiling water and then shaping them with pliers. The problem was always the same, the plastic picks would cut off the circulation to the tip of my thumb and cause it to go numb. I admit that I was skeptical, but after receiving some money for Christmas I decided to splurge. My only regret is that I did not make this purchase earlier! This thumb pick is extremely comfortable and I can now play for hours straight without any thumb pain or numbness.

Nice pick, but didn't work for me
Posted by Ray Sachs on 10th Dec 2018
Very well made and should be comfortable, but didn't really work for me. The large fits OK, but is a little bit looser than I'd like, but the medium doesn't come close to fitting so, the large is my only option. Also, the pick blade is much longer than I like, so I filed it down so it didn't extend so far past the edge of my thumb. Which was easy enough to do, but once I'd done, the rivets that hold the blade in place were too close to the new edge I'd created and I'd catch the rivet on the strings. Great pick if it works for you, but it doesn't for me.
