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.

“thumb up”
Posted by Wes nykolyn on 24th Sep 2019
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.

Perfect fit, great sound
Posted by Gil Clark on 1st Nov 2018
Wish I bought this thumb pick long ago and after using it I don't think I'd be able to go back to what I was using before. It is on the pricey side but definitely worth it.

Great Thumb Pick
Posted by Mike Watkins on 30th Jun 2018
This is a great pick. I have been using it for a few months. It is comfortable, but had to bend it a little to snug it up to fit my thumb. Now it fits the way I like it and feels great on my thumb. It gives a clean, crisp sound without string scratch. Now that I have gotten used to it my picking seems to have gotten a little better.

Metal part
Posted by Zieb Stetler on 25th Jun 2018
The metal part on the large thump pick could be a bit thicker and have more spring to it. I play banjo for the Band Prairie Grass and in the summer my thumb sweats and there is some move of the pick. ( festival temp was 104 deg. Had to use gorilla snot to stabilize it. Has good tone and balanced sound with the silver finger picks.

Best Thumb Pick you can buy!
Posted by Brad Edwardson on 21st May 2018
This thumb pick is fantastic. I play a lot of Travis-picking finger-style guitar, and use a thumb pick w/ two metal finger picks like a banjo player.
I've tried all kinds of different shapes, sizes, materials and this one is the best. You get the strength and comfort of the metal around your thumb, but the nice round tone of the Blue Chip material against the strings. Perfect combo, super comfortable, great tone. Buy this.

I was not impressed at first, BUT...
Posted by B on 12th May 2018
I have a couple of BlueChip flat picks, and when I decided to up my acoustic fingerpicking game I figured the JD would be worth a shot. At first, I had a hard time getting used to it; I probably spent a week playing with the fit since it didn't feel as snug as I liked. But I soon figured out that these are a whole different ballgame than the typical plastic thumb pick and I needed to realign my thinking. I realized that I get the same amount of control without needing a super-snug fit, which has resulted in fewer hangnails and a happier thumb overall. That, combined with the smooth tone and great responsiveness makes it pretty much impossible for me to go back to the usual plastic thumb pick.

Nice pick a little pricey
Posted by George Jones on 10th Apr 2018
This is a very nice pic very comfortable but I still get a little scratching noise with this pic. Another pic I really like is pro pic that is a very comfortable pick but I believe it is a little more noisey than the JD Blue Chip.
