Product Overview
This is our JD Crowe thumb pick in a size medium. 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 medium thumb pick of any brand.

3 New Pick, New Feel. New Sound
Posted by Constance Barnette on 5th Sep 2014
Love the sound quality of the BCT thumb pick. I had to adjust somewhat because the pick strikes a bit deeper than other thumb picks. I would purchase another if I lost this one.

5 Best pick ever
Posted by Gene itn Tucson on 19th Jul 2014
You just won't believe it till you try a BlueChip pick. The first note tells the story. I was suprised when my wife said she could tell the difference about halfway thru the first tune. Very crisp notes.

5 It Works!
Posted by P Mann on 14th May 2014
How often I have purchased a new thumb pick hoping that it would help out and yet it didn't. Finally, yes finally, someone has got it right. Musicians have had to put up for the last 90 years since finger picks have been used with literally uncomfortable, marginally acceptable thumb picks. And finally we have the blue chip. It is a total game changer. Thank you - thank you blue chip engineers for making these precision units so perfect. Again I say thank you... I bought 2 for me, and one for my father who has been playing slide since 1941. He initially mentioned the high price, but he is also very very pleased with the engineered effort for this simple device.

2 Not the pick for me.
Posted by Mike Hammer on 21st Apr 2014
I love Blue Chip picks in general. But, the Thumb Pick is much wider than what I am used to, therefore it is a little harder getting off the string than the smaller one that I normally use. I do not play a lot of finger style, and some one who plays that way might love the tone and feel of these picks. I bought a medium, and perhaps I would have liked the feel of a "Large" better. If I keep it, I will have to rework the "Playing end" as it is just too wide.

The search for the right thumb-pick is over. As being playing the 5-string banjo for over 40 years, I am glad to finally got this Blue Chip thumb-pick that stick to my thumb and gives a TONE that is clear and precise. I had to buy a new one as that I lost the previous BCT-JDM - just got to have the same again! Thanks for making such a great product!

5 The Best!
Posted by Darin on 15th Mar 2013
I just can't believe how tough it is! I used to have to polish my thumb picks. They would get rough after just hours of playing. The JDM looks like I just bought it after many hours of playing. It sounds great, looks great, fits great, and it requires absolutely no maintenance. Thank you!
