Inspired by Andy Wood, the IBJ55 pick is larger than a regular Jazz pick, and smaller than a Jazz LG. It has a universal rounded bevel and comes with 6 pre-drilled holes in the center. This pick is 55/1000 of an inch(1.4mm) thickness. All of our picks are professionally machined, hand beveled, and laser etched.
Quarters, Nickels and Dimes, if included in the pictures, are for size reference only. They are not etched on the picks or included with the sale. To use this reference, please place a coin on your current non-Bluechip pick and then compare to the pictures of our picks with coins on top of them. This will help you choose the pick that is closest to your current favorite size and shape.

I used to use a black Petrucci pick from dunlop. Loved the size and shape, but the edges got grinded out pretty fast.
The Bluechip feels very similar, just a tad thinner. The holes make a great grip and prevents it from slipping. Great for single lines and strumming overall.
More than 6 months of playing only made a slight bevel, and that made it feel even smoother.
I'll order more of these just in case I lose mine.

Afters decades of buying picks, I finally decided to try out a Blue Chip. I tend to favor jazz picks so the IBJ55 was an easy choice. It’s pricey, which is why I hesitated to buy it after all these years but once I tried it out, I understand why. Easily my favorite pick for electric guitars.
I feel I have great control and articulation with it. Plus it doesn’t slip out of my fingers.

I have been playing for over 30 years and have tried them all, about 10 years ago I tried my first Blue Chip pick and have never looked back. It improved my tone, and they glide acrost my strings without any friction. Do yourself a favor and try one you will never go back!

Such a versatile pick - works brilliantly for lead and rhythm. Quite different from the Prime Tone small 1.4 I have been using. Silky smooth and full toned. The holes make the finger grip easier, especially when a more relaxed grip is needed. The next order will include engraving - don't want to loose this one!

This is far and away the best pick I have ever used. The size is bigger than a traditional Jazziii and smaller than a Jazz XL. If you like the John Petrucci picks from Dunlop, you will love this pick. Can’t put it down. The tone, the feel. Perfect!

Excellent quality guitar pick. It is a little short for my personal taste, but I am sure I'll get used to that very quickly... not a huge problem.

I've been using a TAD 40 for over 10 years but have been looking for a better attack. I sometimes use a Dunlp Vortex sharp to get that attack and picking accuracy I need for some pieces. I wondered what a sharp Blue Chip pick might sound like so I reshaped a TAD40 with a point (like the Dunlop), put a bevel on it and polished it. The modified TAD40 has become my favorite pick but I was hoping I could get something I liked as well off-the-shelf. So I bought one of the IBJ55's to try.
I love the IBJ55 point and the holes for grip. The attack, picking accuracy and tone are great. The only negative is that it is just too small, for me anyway. Make an IBJ55 the same width and height as the TAD40 and I would be a very happy picker!

I like every blue chip ive had in my hands, this one absolutely plays great on my electric guitar (faster and clearer than my other blue chips i use on mandos)

My other Blue Chip experiments have gone so well, I thought I may as well try this small, pointy, hole-punched pick.
Surprise! I never would have anticipated liking it on - of all things - mandolin. I 'always' use rounded picks on mando, but this guy has given me an option, a different and exceptional tone.
Now I need to try it on electric, where I never use picks, being a player of more of a clawhammer style.
Anyway, if you hate this shape, open your mind and you might expand your tonal palette.
