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.

Best pick I have ever played my mandolin with
Posted by Dan Walker on 6th Sep 2023
It fits my hand like it was made for it. It is extremely substantial and stiff without felling thick. The speed bevel reduces the pick noise to zero. I cannot say enough good things about the CT55.

I did not expect such an enhanced sound from my mandolins because of a pick
Posted by Unknown on 5th Sep 2023
The sound was warmer more full than with any other pick I have tried - I was really surprised at the difference. I ordered four more.

Simply the Best
Posted by David on 5th Sep 2023
I know it's pricey, but it's just the best tone and comfort you can get from a pick. It's a must have for me and keeps me practicing because of the improved tone and action.

One change improved my playing completely
Posted by Mark P Lill on 30th Aug 2023
I have played with the guitar for many years.
I began to take lessons and my instructor mentioned the CT55.
It was a giant leap forward for me in tone and feel.
I can't use any other pick to produce my new quality of playing.
Best pick you can choose.

Great clarity of tone and overall feel
Posted by Robert Moreau on 28th Aug 2023
As a mandolin player, I am very picky (pardon the pun) about my tone, and the CT55 has a great tone—crisp, but still deep and rich. I tried a TAD50 before, which was very good, but I feel that the extra thickness of the CT55 is a better match for me. I feel like I have a bit more accuracy with this BlueChip, and techniques like tremolo seem a lot easier with it too.
Overall, the CT55 is well worth the money! I am hoping to try a TAD60-1R one day soon too!

Best guitar pick
Posted by David Van Cleve on 18th Jul 2023
I discovered the Bluechip CT55 several years ago and it has made me a much better guitar player. The size of the pick allows me to pick hard or kind of 'flutter' pick softly. It allows for more intonation. I love the smooth, clean sound it gives.

Quality pick!
Posted by Unknown on 5th Jun 2023
This is a very nice pick for my acoustic guitar playing. Gives me a solid hold and nice sound out of the strings. I really like the smoothed edges, no pick noise on the strings.

The only guitar pick you will ever need
Posted by Roger Wilkinson on 23rd Feb 2023
I have been using these picks for at least 5 years. I absolutely will not use any other pick but the Bluechip pick. You get a very warm response from this pick. It is also very easy to hold on to. It will not slip in your hand when you are playing.
