This is our dobro/resonator thumb pick in a size large. This is a slightly thicker blade design as compared to our banjo picks to withstand the more strenuous use on a dobro. It is constructed using a custom designed stainless steel band and a 60/1000 of an inch(1.50mm) 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.

It’s a great pick on dobro and guitar to. I have just heard several people say good things about these picks. I just thought I would give them a try. And I’m glad I did try them. Now I’m sold on them. They sure do make my old Martin guitar ring out.

I have tried many a thumb pick as I primarily play roots/country/folk stuff on guitar and I decided to try out Blue Chip finally as I have loved their flatpicks for a long time and it doesn't disappoint. Same blue chip excellence, in a thumb pick. Using it for acoustic and Pedal Steel and I love it. Worth every dollar.

I have been learning to play a tri-cone resonator. I have been trying different picks for fingers and thumbs to get the right combination of picks that work for me. I have got at least one of most everything you can get, for fingers and thumbs. Thumb picks have been a challenge until I found Blue Chip. I first tried the BTC JDL and it worked well, felt good on my thumb with no turning issues but I kept losing/missing the strings. I ordered the BTC- RESO- 1L and it is just great! It is a little longer that the JDL and it works great for me! I would recommend this thumb pick for anybody playing a resonator or just learning like me. Hats off to Blue Chip!!

Hands down this is the best thumbpick I've ever used. In the past I've tried many different brands/styles but have never been completely happy. Metal thumbpicks don't have the sound I prefer and plastic ones stretch and get loose quickly (as well as breaking often). These have the best of both worlds while also fitting more naturally and comfortably than any metal thumbpick I've tried.

Got the BCT-RESO-1L.Too big. Sizing estimates innaccurate. Large seems to encompass XL also. No problem. Sent several emails trying to get information about returns. Got one very vague response from guy called Allen and radio silence to every other email ever since. Unacceptable when spending so much on a guitar pick! Hard to judge pick fairly. Sounds nice. Smooth on strings. 40 dollars nice? Not so sure and impossibe to find out thanks to Bluechips complete lack of the world famous American customer care! One client less.

First off, thank you to BlueChip customer service for quickly shipping me another pick after USPS lost my order. That was above and beyond!
I’ve been playing lap steel and Dobro for over 50 years and this is the most comfortable pick I’ve ever had on my thumb. Like other reviewers, thumbpicks tend to cut off circulation because I like them to sit a little further back on my thumb. This one fits perfectly.
Now, the important part. The BlueChip pick material really digs into the Dobro strings for extra punch and volume. I’m just amazed by it. I can’t wait to try the JDC model with the shorter shaft.

I have been using the same pick for about 5 years now. It is incredible! No visible wear and fits perfectly. 4-5 hour sessions and I never even feel it. I play Dobro and I use the thumb to really dig in when I need some volume. It never has failed me. I'll use it I hope forever.

I got tired of the tight fitting Nationals and Dunlops causing my thumb to go numb. This pic stays in place without the thumb clamp feeling Love it.

I love this pick.....It is a bit harder to keep on than a plastic but I have been getting better at holding it when double picking on the bass string. I will not go back to plastic.

I am very happy with the Blue Chip thumb pick. I use it for playing my 5 string banjo. I had been using a metal Propik for some years. The Blue Chip pick is more comfortable.
