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.

Very Nice!
Posted by Nathaniel on 15th Feb 2018
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!

comfortable
Posted by Danny Triplett on 26th Jan 2018
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..

BCT-JDL : Comfort and tone
Posted by Jean-Alain COURTAY (FRANCE) on 20th Nov 2017
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.

no comparison
Posted by Stafford Markham on 26th Sep 2017
Been using the JDL for a number of years now, and it's performance for me, has no comparison.
My reasons for using the JDL are the same as most people that use the product. Comfort on the thumb, (not dealing with your pick loosening after a short time or so tight it's uncomfortable. The other being the even tone you get- no scratchiness as with typical plastic thumbpicks.
Your product, in my opinion, is superior.

There is no other thumbpick after you try this one
Posted by Cody Thomas on 5th Jun 2017
As a guitarist for over 25 years and a banjo player for about 5, I've used many different brands and styles of thumb picks. I made the switch from a Propik thumbpick as my preferred one to the blue chip and haven't looked back. Less string noise, noticeable tone difference, superior comfort, and the knowledge that this pick will last a long time has made me a very happy customer.

best ever
Posted by Stafford Markham on 8th May 2017
Have used these for a few years and found them to be all a thumb pick should be. Phenomenal comfort and wear characteristics. Every banjo player I know has a couple if extra plastic picks hooked to his banjo brackets, because they loosen on your thumb from body heat. With these picks, it's not a problem. They stay comfortable on your thumb all night. The only.pick you'll need for months!

Love this pic. Have let two fellow banjo players try mine and they both ordered their own immediately. Brings your playing up a notch.

TD 50 Attached To Large Band
Posted by Lance Pentland on 25th Oct 2016
Customized large band with TD-50 pick. I modified the pick to be a bit shorter and gave it a right hand speed bevel. From the top of the pick that's connected to the band to the tip; measures 31/32". I like to ride the bottom of the band slightly below the edge of the thumb cuticle. This gives me the feel of a flat pick while opening up to finger style. I guess it's fair to say, "I'm getting closer to the ultimate thumb pick that sounds and feels amazing." I have two more customized Blue Chip Thumb Picks that are a 50 and 60 thickness that mimic the Fred Kelly Slick Pick which are my go to. I like and own the TD-50, TP-50, and TP-1R 60. Now that I'm invested with the Blue Chip Company maybe they will give me a free pick of my choice for Christmas. No ones laughing...I'm dead serious! Say it again Goober Pyle...
