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.

Superior Pick Quality
Posted by Craig-O H on 16th Sep 2013
The Bluechip CT55 is the perfect pick for mandolin, it meets the challenge of every gig and increases playability. It has a superior tone to other picks offering a perfect pick to string relationship without feeling cumbersome, thus maximizing the integrity of every musical moment. I love the grip quality of the material.
The CT55 is a little lightweight for my guitar playing. I play huge rhythm guitar runs on a D28 through a single band mic in sonically challenging bluegrass situations, so I'll be purchasing either a TAD80 or TAD100 for an added edge on acoustic guitar.

Worth every penny!
Posted by Ned Pearson on 5th Sep 2013
My CT55 delivers the best tone and response I've ever gotten from my mandolin. Fast off the strings, low resistance, great tone, clear articulation and easy to grip.
If you think this is too much to pay for a pick then consider how much you actually spend on picks and it will make sense.
Great customer service and fast shipping.

Simply the best
Posted by Rick Stambaugh on 2nd Sep 2013
I was skeptical at first. However, after trying my first Blue Chip Pick a year ago, I now have three because they are simply the best.

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
