Product Description
The CT55 is a pick custom designed by Chris Thile for his personal use. It is very similar in size and shape to our TAD line of picks. However it is only manufactured in 55/1000 of an inch(1.4mm) thickness and has a custom bevel per his specifications. This is the exact pick that Chris Thile is currently using. See his thoughts on this pick on our users page.
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.

Second purchase
Posted by Unknown on 31st Jan 2022
Love this pick. The tick from hitting the string is minimal, it produces lovely tone, it feels good in the hand.

I love this pick!
Posted by Chris Marsh on 31st Jan 2022
I love this pick! For me, the best thing is that it doesn’t slip out of position while I’m playing, but “sticks” to my fingers. It also strikes though the double mandolin strings with authority. My speed, accuracy and tone have all improved. The BlueChip CT55 is for real and worth every penny.

Well worth the investment

The pick is of exceeding quality and comfort. I have found myself practicing more now because I simply enjoy playing it so much!

Exactly the tone I thought my mando could produce!
Posted by Mike Payne on 11th Jan 2022
Just finished a thorough test of the CT55 - and Wow! This is the first mando pick I've bought that didn't require ANY modification. The tone it produces is as good as my best pick beveling job (my second hobby) - actually it's better. It did, truly, improve the tone. And even better, I now have 6 (six) perfectly beveled edges to play with. No need to find the one that turned out best, I just pick up the pick and start playing. So glad I finally forked out the money to buy one. I should have done this long ago.

My fifth or sixth chip! (Used for Mandolin)
Posted by stacey baker on 10th Jan 2022
And yes, I still have all of them! Still the best to my ear for tone, nice on my low talent brain.... my picking is easier with the way these picks slid off the strings. I don't get hung up on strings as often!

Amazing on any kind of mandolin
Posted by Jonathan A Kempf on 1st Jan 2022
I have played this on my modern a-style, jazz om, and old bowl-back and it has the best feel and sound on all three. I have tried many different mandolin picks and I like this one the best currently.

Chris Thile 55
Posted by Aviv S Naamani on 30th Dec 2021
The best flatpick I have found. It doesn't slip or move around in my hand and the tone is superb. Every time I try something else I come back to this pick. Whether I am playing on my thinline archtop jazz electric or my OM guitars ... it doesn't matter. Its my favorite pick.

Smooth
Posted by Aidan on 28th Dec 2021
Very comfortable, great bevel and the rounded edge makes for a nice, dark tone on the mandolin. Very smooth on guitar and great for flatpicking. I had an IB 45 before, but I prefer the thickness and feel of the CT 55 much better.

WOW!!!!!!!!!
Posted by Tim Martinez on 18th Oct 2021
It's just a piece of plastic. You twang phosphor bronze strings with it.
And the sound is INCREDIBLE!!!!!! Really warm. Even more so than my D'Addario Chris Thille pick.
LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!!!!!!

Great for acoustic and bluegrass
Posted by Bob C. on 14th Oct 2021
Great bevel. Smooth. Plays very well especially on lead. Slight downside on rhythm because he sound of the pick is audible. But a great pick!
