Product Overview
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.

5 Feels like cutting butter
Posted by Mihai Romano on 17th Oct 2019
I know this sounds weird, but let it warm up for a few hours and then start playing. At first it felt weird on the fingers and I moved it about a lot trying to find the best shape for it. Afterwards I took a break and came back in a few hours. Picked up my guitar and without even noticing it was pouring through the strings. I love it, I had my second thought because I always believed "oh it's just a pick" but I am eternally grateful to 5 watt world for mentioning this company. I have one pick to rule them all.

5 The best
Posted by Erik Cirelli on 17th Oct 2019
I have played for 35 years and no single piece of equipment has had more of a positive effect on my playing than this pick. It has broken things wide open for me. My playing is more accurate and fluid than it has ever been. I know it seems like a lot of money, but it is so worth it.

5 Andy Wood knows his picks!
Posted by Elias Antonas on 31st Jul 2019
I know how great a picker Andy Wood is, and since he collaborated with this design, I bought this one just to try, although in general I prefer 2.0mm picks and up. After playing around with this pick for a couple weeks, I can honestly say it is definitely appropriate for economy speed picking. I can surely understand why Andy came up with this model. IMHO...because BlueChip picks feel great in the hand anyway, the hole inserts may not be necessary for grip, but I'm not a mandolin player, which could be the reason for them.

5 The Best I've had Yet
Posted by Derrick Baird on 26th Jun 2019
The IBJ55 is very forgiving. The angle of the pick attack doesn’t matter on feel or affect the way it sounds because of the point. I especially like the way the side acts for strumming. It has a little bit of point and is really expectantly nice feature. This is my second pick with the symmetrical round bevel and I think I prefer that over the bevel for right hand. This is my 3rd BlueChip pick and best all-around so far. I’m not a fan of the holes myself. The material is easy to hold on too anyway and I like the visibility of the lettering, but holes will add extra grip. You can’t go wrong with this one.

The most natural sounding pick out there. I love the feel and tone. They are easy to order and have quick shipping. Excellent all the way around

5 Another winner!
Posted by Tom Karol on 7th Feb 2019
I've been using Jazz 60's on my archtop and Jazz 50's on my semi-hollow for a few years now. I absolutely won't use anything else (see reviews). I noticed this new model which splits the thickness difference between the two and the size difference between the BC Jazz and BC Jazz LG versions. And wouldn't you know? It's JUST RIGHT for my flattop acoustics!

5 The Butterknife
Posted by lunedrix on 26th Jan 2019
My favorite pick I've ever used. It's very light due to the holes, and grips to your fingers amazingly. It will be my main pick I use from now on.

5 Great little pick with no slip grip
Posted by Mike Watkins on 12th Jan 2019
This is a really good pick. It took a few minutes for me to get used to it because I normally use picks with a larger footprint (TAD40 and CT55). This pick stays in place and is easy to re-grip for playing at a different angle without the fear of dropping it at a critical point in the music.
