This is our JD Crowe thumb pick in a size small. 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 small thumb pick of any brand.

Blue Chip's thumb picks are the best I've ever used, having gone through the whole gamut of plastic and all-metal picks. No . pick noise, good angle, and a variety of tip options make their picks a go-to for this banjo picker. I've been searching for this pick since the 1960's

I've been using this for about 2 months now and like it a lot. Fits pretty well right off the bat. I have also ordered them for my students and they like them to. Sound quality is very good with them.

Hi there fellow pickers, I must have tried every thumb pick out there
in search of the right "sound/comfort"combination, and I'll admit it took me a while to "warm"to the Blue Chip JD banjo pick, but now I have settled on it and have ordered and received a back up. For my style of picking, I've found the Blue Chip thumb picks to be comfortable and always consistent in sound. these picks are really worth trying.

I requested the blade be shortened and beveled on both sides. Now I can also use it as a flat pick if I want to play melodies with up and down strokes. The band comes up to the blade and does not get stuck on strings.

I've used plastic thumb picks for years but they always felt bad. They were too loose or too tight, and usually twisted around during songs so I felt like I was always chasing them. This pick fit perfectly when I put it on, and it didn't move! I bought it to play my banjo (I'm just beginning) but thought I'd try it out on my guitar. It was totally awesome finger picking my guitar. I have found the only thumb pick I will ever use. Blue Chip ROCKS!

I have small fingers and all the plastic pics I would buy would stretch out within a month. Blue Chip is tough and has lasted a year. It also keeps the plastic "noise" down as the pick moves across the strings. Also, when I sweat onstage it doesn't move like plastic picks do.
