CT55

Have triad lots of picks. This is the best, the feeling, the sound, everything.

I really didn't want a pick at this price to be worth it, but as soon as I played with one, it was immediately obvious what a difference it made on expensive and cheap instruments alike. I will be buying more.

I couldn’t imagine going back to generic plastic picks after playing a blue chip. It is fast off the strings and feels secure in the hand. Love the shape and bevel.

I have many Blue Chip picks, I consider them an investment in tone and playability, my latest pick is the CT55. I play and flat pick the mandolin and this is a wonderful addition to my collection. It’s the perfect size giving me great pick control and no one can beat BC’s beveled edges. The tone I get from all Blue Chip picks is unreal. They are priced well when you consider what I pay for strings a month. I always keep two with me anytime I’m playing even though I’ve never lost one. The CT55 will have a twin with it very soon.

I use Blue Chip picks exclusively for playing jazz guitar, they are faster (release from the sting) and sound clear and phat. I recently sent one as a present to a friend who is a mando player and he feels the same way!

My review is actually based off of two different pick purchases. I first purchased the CT55 with a speed bevel for the right hand. While the mandolin instantly sounded better, I found it difficult to play cleanly. (Probably because I am no good) I then decided I wanted to try a round bevel. WOW! What an amazing difference in both sound and ease of playability. Yes, $35 for a pick seemed high at first. It is worth every penny. If you are on the fence about it, do yourself a favor and treat yo' self. These are simply the best picks ever made. Thanks to Blue Chip and to Chris himself.

I am not one to write reviews but have to for this. Used $1 picks for 20 years + then thought the Dunlop primetone $3 per pick were awesome several months ago … just got the Ct55 blue chip and I am absolutely floored by how great this pick is. I was going to tell people how ridiculous it was that I was spending $40 on a pick including shipping before I tried it and patiently waited for it to arrive but I will definitely be a returning customer and insisting that anyone I talk to that plays guitar needs to buy one and try it out. Thanks to the folks at Bluechip! My only regret is that I didn’t know about high end picks like this when I first started playing.

I bought one out of curiosity. I liked it so much, I bought one for my guitar instructor. Now he says it's his favorite pick. It's got that quality that makes it easy to retain. But it also slides off the strings cleanly and gives a good tone.

Great Pick. large format makes it easier to hold on fast passages (playing a lot of mandolin lately). I also have a TAD40 which is the same format but a little thinner. The CT55 produces a sharper tone but is correspondingly harder to play through strings. an other benefit of the larger pick format is I'm more aware of the angle of the pick making recovery between up and down strokes more consistent. Again - Great Pick - worth the price if you're serious.
