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.

I like my pick a lot. The only thing is maybe I should have gotten a medium instead of a large.It works ok and feels good but does slide around my finger a little.

These feel really different compared to your average thumb pick. They don’t fit snug but they don’t slide around your thumb like they’re loose. I didn’t need to bend it to fit. I’ve been using the Fred Kelly slick picks for quite a while now before getting the BC Thumbpick. Just comes down to getting used to that loose feel. But I can really power down on the strings and the pick stays put! Also, it doesn’t catch on the string when I do play heavy! You gotta try a $40 thumb pick at least once in your life.

Have been using the pick for a few weeks now. Wonderful. Everyone needs this pick. Fit it great and the resulting sound is rich , crisp and just right.

After having used a different brand pick for many years, decided to try the Blue Chip and have been very happy. It produces a great, clear, tone, and even helps me achieve a more clear pull-off. The ergonomics of the pick allow for it to simply slide on and start playing. No need to adjust anything. I've been very happy with it.

This is a very well made and comfortable pick. The more I use it, the more I like it. I seem to be getting more punch out of my Huber banjo. I pick deep into the pick, so I hang on the band occasionally but that is my own fault. It feels loose but never slips. It is good to pick for long periods of time without blood circulation loss!

Very well ajusted to the thumb and confortable even for long session. Produce a very warm and round sound. A bit pricey but worth it.

Fast off the strings and delivers a great tone. My new standard. My greatest surprise was the comfort level. The pick has a confident grip but never feels tight or loose. Well made craftsmanship, something very special.

I am a finger picking guitarist who had settled in on using golden gate thumb picks (clown barf ones) accompanied with 3 national brass finger picks. Now don't get my wrong, the golden gates are great... They fit well and sound good, however eventually they break where the curve meets the pick part. The BC JD pick fits nearly the same as my golden gates did, but with the advantage of a bit less sliding around while playing. It feels great and sounds great, and should last a good long while with that metal band. Very satisfied!

Tone is similar to the clown puke picks maybe a little more muddy but I tend to play on the leading edge of the of the pick. Im sure angle of attack has alot to do with tone. The metal band is extremely comfortable and doesn't rotate on the thumb yet does not cut off blood flow. No more black thumb..

The first impression when trying the BCT-JDL is one of unexperienced before comfort. I used to play with a metal thumpick but it alsways ended up being painful after a 45minute set.
The tone is also particularly impressive compared to ant other thumb picks I have tried over the years.
The BCT-JDL may be more expensive than the other picks but, believe me, it's well worth it.
