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

4 Nice Pick, Though Too Expensive
Posted by Tracy on 3rd Jul 2017
I like the pick, and it seems well made. I had to "shape" and bend it a little here and there to get it to fit better, but for the most part it's fine now. As with most picks, they can become a bit sloppy after some use and sweat, but I was able to quickly remedy this and make it more comfortable and snug again. I use it mostly playing slide blues on my National Resonator, and I like it some what better than my other picks. Still, I think $40 is bit too steep.

5 A thumb pick that doesn't slide around on my thumb
Posted by Andy Costigan on 21st May 2017
I'm a lap steel player and I've tried a lot of plastic thumbpicks and they've all felt unstable and loose on my thumb - no matter how tight they feel when I put them on. This has given me the stability I've been searching for. The surprise has been the beautiful tone. Now if I can find fingerpicks that sound as good I'll be in heaven!

This pick gives a new dimension when picking Doc Watsons 'Ticklin' the strings'. Very happy with my purchase.

5 Longlasting tone..
Posted by Ketil Liland on 24th Nov 2016
I ordered my reso thumbpick the 29th of december 2009. I am now about to order my backup pick (24th of november 2017). It is not because of wear.. I am just so afraid I'll loose it! Needless to say more. Best there is!

5 Deserved Reputation of Blue chip picks!
Posted by Stan Bond on 3rd Oct 2016
Very pleased with my Dobro thumb pick. I have always used plastic, but had to heat & shape them to avoid the sound of the edge scraping the strings. Somehow (?) this is not needed with Blue Chip picks. They play smooth right out of the box. I use the medium size, which gives me a great fit without pinching, & good stability. I was concerned about fit, but when the Blue Chip guys told me I could return if it didn't suit, I went ahead with my purchase. Very pleased.

5 Stable and Punchy
Posted by David Fleming on 3rd Mar 2016
$40.00!!! Worth every penny. Very stable. No flex. Great tone. You can buy 8 regular thumb picks and find one that works. Or, you can buy a Blue Chip and be done.

5 I was skeptical, but.....
Posted by Steve LIpsey on 20th Sep 2015
...since I ifnally tried this pick, I see what all the fuss is about - it REALLY is better! smooth tone, no stirng scratch, nice snap when picked, very comfortable (I never did like those all-plastic picks, very uncomfortable, very tight to stay on but loose when you sweat).

5 BCT-RESO-JDM Great Thumbpick!!!
Posted by MaGoo on 19th Aug 2014
Granted, $40 does seem like a lot for a Thumbpick! One of my reasons for not buying one was, think of all the plastic ones I can buy with that kind of money!! Take my advice, don't fool yourself! The best plastic Thumbpick is like a Yugo and a Bluechip is like a Mercedes! There is a BIG difference!! Mated with two Sammy Shelor finger picks, you're picking WILL change for the better. I go thru plastic ones constantly, but after a month of pretty steady picking, mine shows no wear, none, as in ZERO!! You're mileage may vary, but I don't think so! What's money compared to happiness!!! I chose a JD Reso because I play both reso and banjo!!
