Loading... Please wait...The Jazz pick is very similar in size and shape to the Dunlop Jazz 3 pick. This is a Jazz in a 80/1000 of an inch(2.0mm) thickness. All of our picks a professionally machined, hand beveled, and laser etched. This pick has a universal rounded bevel.
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.

Love these picks. Use them for jazz and acoustic flatpicking. Definitely improve tone and technique and they don’t wear.

Being a pro player for the past 25+ years and having played just about every brand of pick that's available, I recently discovered Blue Chip and am so impressed. The feel, touch and tone are outstanding. My weapon of choice is the Jazz80. The only issue I had with the pick initially was that it didn't have any grip and my hands sweat a lot at shows. The folks at BlueChip kindly drilled some grip holes in it, so now it's perfect and I appreciate the wonderful customer service as well!
When people say that BC picks are too expensive they overlook the importance of what a pick does and how much it affects your tone and dynamic range. Plus they last a long time. My advice is just keep it your pick in the same place each day, so you're not spending your guitar time looking under the couch for it. :-)

I love this pick. I was skeptical at first due to the price of Bluechip picks, but i absolutely love the tone and the feel. The BC Jazz 80 has become my goto pick of choice.

Have always used a medium teardrop plastic pick and wondered how other players could handle the much thicker, stiffer picks. What a surprise I got when I found this very small, thick Blue Chip model worked great for flat picking. It's size sits real well between the very end of my thumb and index finger.
Another review mentioned being a finger style player and how this pick felt closest to fingers. I do lots of finger picking too, and I have to agree with the explanation!

This is my most favorite pick that I own. While all picks have a different tone this pick has a very warm tone and glides effortlessly across the strings. It also is easy to hold and does not slip unlike most of the other picks that I have. Highly recommended.

This is my favorite pick I own. I don't know what it is about them but the way it feels in your hands is beyond compare. I love the tone and how they glide across the strings. It's warm but you can get great pinch harmonics with it as well. I play a lot of different styles and this covers almost all of them. The one's they don't cover is when I use my fingers and no pick. They are expensive but well worth the price.

This is the best Jazz III pick I've ever used and I have most of the other ones with different materials. This pick glides over the strings with ease and is very easy to hold which, for me, is a problem with the other materials. Sound wise it's more mellow than Ultex but brighter than nylon. It's expensive but in my opinion worth the price. Just don't lose it.

I’m writing this quick review about the jazz 80 BlueChip Pick. This pick is second to none. I’ve spent many years trying to find the right pick and or picks. I found them with the jazz 80 and the TD 60 for me is the way to go.

Like many other customers ending up with BlueChip picks, I have tried almost every commercially available plectrum. BlueChips are by far the best ones. I love both Jazz 80 and 100. As a fingerstyle player I feel this the closest to fingers. I can't go back!

The Jazz 80 doesn't have what I've found in other thick(er) picks, which is too silky-smooth an attack. Powerful is instead what comes to mind. At 2mm I wanted to eliminate the ever-so-slight flex of the 1.4mm Primetones I've been using for a long while (Jazz III before that for years), and this delivers exactly that. It's inexplicably stable in my grip for how uniformly smooth it is. I don't know what it's like yet to have sweaty hands, though. I really like how neutral it is regarding hybrid picking (pick+fingers). There isn't that gulf in tone between the pick and fingers that's unwelcome for my tastes. It's slightly smaller than a Primetone 1.4, but it isn't a problem, but I was surprised about that. I hold picks tucked into my middle finger all the time for full finger-picking on the fly, and it passes that test. Great pick.
