Product Overview
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.

5 Pricy. Worth it!
Posted by L Wolfe on 20th Oct 2022
No comparison between this thumb pick and the standard Golden Gate that I have used for years. Sound quality is cleaner, clearer and volume is substantially increased. Only thumb pick I’ve been able to find that will fit my large thumb. Very pleased. Never going back.

2 Too loose on my thumb
Posted by Ben Scales on 14th Jun 2022
Maybe I got the wrong size, but the pick moves around too much on my thumb. I don't think a smaller size would solve the problem. It's the flexibility of the metal band that I can't get used to. I've been using the large white plastic Golden Gate Pearloid for many years. They cost $3. I figured I'd try the Blue Chip, but it doesn't fit as snugly as the $3 pick.

5 Great dobro Pick
Posted by Keith Kuykendall on 4th Oct 2021
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. .

5 Best thumb pick I have found
Posted by Jacob on 20th Jan 2021
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. -Jacob

5 I finally got it right.
Posted by Robert Holmes on 13th Jan 2021
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!!

5 Great fit, super sound
Posted by Joel Gilbert on 17th Aug 2020
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.

1 Terrible customer service
Posted by iain lyons on 1st Apr 2020
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.
