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.

Blue Chip CT 55
Posted by Andy on 30th Aug 2013
Excellent
Noticed the improvement as soon as I started using it - no adjustment period needed
would have been 5 stars except for the price ! - but I suppose you have to pay for quality.

The Only Pick I Use Now...
Posted by Steve Williams on 23rd Aug 2013
I perform weekends as a solo entertainer on several instruments, and this pick works the best on them all...now I just switch instruments, and not picks also. Guitar, mandolin, plectrum banjo, cigar box guitar and more...this pick does the job for me. I love it.

Love My CT55
Posted by Tom Galbraith, Fossil Creek Band on 10th Aug 2013
I've tried too many picks to even count, and the Blue Chip pick is by far my favorite! It never hangs up in the strings, produces great tone, and wears like iron. My bandmates commented the first night I used Blue Chip how great my mandolin sounded. I have had my first pick for over two years, and it shows very little (if any) wear. I bought a second CT55 as a backup, and I can't tell the difference in appearance or playability between the new and old picks. I won't play any other pick.

Excellent tone with my new mandolin
Posted by Chris on 5th Aug 2013
Purchased this pick at the same time I 'upgraded' from my 'starter mando' to an Eastman 515. The combination has made a major improvement in tone, and playing. I've swapped back to my old 'Dawg' pick and there is no contest. I'll need to purchase another to make sure I have a spare.
Service was excellent, speedy delivery and good communication.

The Very Best Pick On This Planet
Posted by Greg Morton on 10th Jul 2013
I have been playing the acoustic guitar primarily Bluegrass for the past 42 years. I've tried tortoise shell and almost every pick that's been made. I've heard great testimonials about the Blue Chip pick by friends like Roy Curry a 2 time National Guitar Champion so I thought this pick must be a good one. I ordered the CT 55 and firstly was surprised about the very fast delivery then I gave this pick a try on my Clarence White Model Martin D-18 I could not believe how Amazing this CT 55 pick responded !!! Smooth, Clear and the tone was absolutely Beautiful. I highly recommend this Blue Chip pick to all musician. I only wish they were available when I first started playing 42 years ago! Thanks Blue Chip, Cheers, Greg Morton

The Best
Posted by Ken F on 3rd Jul 2013
I have tried many picks searching for "The One" and this is it. I try others but seem to always come back to this one. The price is worth the result.
Thank you.

WOW
Posted by Mandocycle on 10th Jun 2013
I thought I should have my head examined for paying $35 for a pick, but after playing one for a few months, I am convinced that they are under-priced. Go ahead and spring for the $4 pick case too, put it on your key ring, and you will not lose your investment. It really impresses your band-mates when you crank your car up!
