Product Description
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.

Best Thumb Pick on the Market
Posted by Paul Sedgwick on 9th Jan 2021
Hey. I've been playing Bluegrass banjo since 1973. I have purchased and played and experimented with everything I can get my hands on--Golden Gate, Dunlop, Propik, Acri, Showcase, and other smaller makers. Nothing compares to BlueChip on every single point: comfort, playability, durability, design and workmanship. Right out of the tube (yes, it's shipped in a little plastic tube), very minor adjustments are necessary to get the pick to feel natural on the thumb. The BlueChip material, whatever it is, does not show wear. Ever. And it creates a crisp, clean, solid and warm tone that is a huge step up from any "normal" plastic tip. The construction of the pick is state of the art. I use my JD Crowe Medium on banjo, guitar, and even on my 1920's Epiphone banjo-uke. Just hope I never lose it!

Best Pick on the Market
Posted by Logan on 26th Aug 2020
Cons: Pricey
Pros: American made, top notch quality, smooth action across the strings, most comfortable band on the market.
Summary:
While there are similar thumb picks on the market this one takes the best parts of all of them and combines it into one pick. If you have the money to spend, or are looking to buy a gift for a picker this pick is a special treat.

Best Fingerstyle Thumbpick Available, Period!
Posted by T Grieff on 22nd Aug 2020
I am a Chet Atkins/ Tommy Emmanuel Fingerstyle player and i have been playing for 38 yrs and had been still trying to find the best thumbpick/fit since. Every thumbpick i have tried no matter the maker of the placstic ones either slips from being too weak or too tight and killing my thumb. And the tone from them are all dull. So i bit the bullet and tried the Bluechip JD-M and the search is now over, its the first thumbpick i have ever had that the shank is not too long and i had to adjust. This pick first of all when you first get it has to be made to fit your thumb, and you can do it yourself. It just takes a short minute to do, just bend and adjust it to fit your thumb if you dont you wont like it. But once you get it fit it sure dosent move, and the material used is way way better than plastic. The tone, attack, punch and overall fit and playability is perfect, simply the prefect fit. I know there are players saying they are too expensive, not when it works! Remember every piece of gear makes a difference in the tone your trying to achieve, and dont forget about the pick your using! Highly Highly reccomended, you will be so glad you switched to Bluechip!

Excellent Thumbpick
Posted by Paul on 9th Aug 2020
Great tone and very comfortable. I've used Nationals for guitar and blue Hercos on steel for decades. This pick replaces them both. It feels lighter on the thumb than a National but has beefier and clearer tone. Really brings out bass strings. Also does flat picking runs on a guitar nicely... it's smooth and doesn't catch. Going to have to buy another as a backup!

Great Tone and Very Comfortable
Posted by Banjo Saint on 19th Jul 2020
The blue chip thumb picks are both capable of producing beautiful tone without pick noise as well as being very comfortable at the same time. While I have not played every thumb pick available in over 40 years of playing, I have played most of the popular picks and have used the blue chip since they came out. Given what we spend on a banjo, lessons books and the time we invest to improve our playing, the blue chips are a deal.

Great sounding!
Posted by Daniel Young on 2nd Jul 2020
I ordered a JD thumbpick and l like it but the blade was longer than I prefer. I special ordered one with a shorter blade and it is awesome! It’s comfortable and doesn’t turn or slip. I’m used to tight picks the cut off the blood to my thumb. This pick stays wear I put it and it’s very comfortable and stable. The guys at BlueChip know what they’re doing!

I was curious...
Posted by Brian on 5th Jun 2020
The pick material clearly has delivered for a lot of musicians, but I was concerned about the metal band.
It turns out that it works really well - It’s the only thumb pick I’m using. I am very pleased with this product!

Great Pick May Require Some Adjusting to Fit
Posted by Shawn on 3rd Feb 2020
I normally wear a Large National Thumbpick which fits my thumb perfectly. The Large BCT are too loose for me, so I order the medium BCT and adjust it to properly fit my thumb. It's pretty easy to adjust with some needle nose pliers so it fits your thumb and doesn't slip.
I prefer the sound of the BCT over the softer National thumbpicks.
