Product Description

This pick was custom designed and created for Kenny Smith. It is the exact style that he is currently using. The Kenny Smith signature picks are very similar to a TPR, but slightly smaller. This is the 40/1000 of an inch(1.0mm) which is the thickness of Kenny's personal BlueChip Pick.

Kenny Smith pick with a quarter on top. Note the size. This is a small pick.

  1. smooth 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 2nd Jun 2021

    I absolutely love these picks! I ordered a couple different models and when I decided which one I liked best the company allowed me to exchange the picks for the model I liked best!! The customer service was top notch!! The mailing could not have been faster!! I could not be happier with my experience with the Bluechip picks and the Blue chip company!! I will be a life long customer!! Anyone considering a purchase should go for it!! I can guarantee you that you will be happy that you did!


  2. Who am I to question Kenny Smith? 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 1st Oct 2020

    I own around twenty BC picks in a variety of styles. I'm still on the fence as to whether I like rounded or sharper tips. But in the rounded categor of BC picks, this one is hard to beat!! It's comfortable. It doesn't move around in my fingers unless I want it to. Being a bit smaller than a TPR pick, my Kenny Smith 40 is very easy to control. My playing seems tighter and more assured. Kenny Smith is a great guitar player. BlueChip is a fantastic company with KILLER products. Highly recommended!!!!


  3. Perfect Tone 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 15th Aug 2020

    I already had a KS60 and I love the shape. It's the only pick I use for playing electric guitar. I found the tone to be too muddy when I tried it on my acoustic guitar. I bought this KS40 hoping that it would give me a brighter tone and it worked out great. The tone is significantly brighter than the KS60, but not too bright. Now I use the KS40 for acoustic and the KS60 for electric. Couldn't be happier with my Blue Chip picks.


  4. Plectrum Banjo! 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 5th Jun 2020

    Being an avid proponent of BC picks for guitar, I got this a few years ago when I added Tenor Uke to my arsenal. Turned out that I had no use for a pick with the Uke, so I put it aside. But I just got a Plectrum Banjo: Bingo! It sounds amazingly close to my grandfather's old worn-down button of a tortiseshell pick that he used to play Tenor Banjo in a Dixieland band in the 1920's!


  5. Complete Control 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 4th May 2020

    Excellent product. I love the size of this pick. I feel completely in control and as close to using my fingers as possible.


  6. Great pick and great people 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 27th Sep 2019

    I like Blue Chip Picks so much that I bought this one for my rhythm player. Now he is a big fan of Blue Chip Pick!


  7. Thanks, KS and BC 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 24th May 2019

    I think this is my 9th BC, and looks like I really hit the sweet spot with this one.

    The size and shape are perfect for me to play acoustic guitar, and the sound is great without excessive clicking.


  8. The Best Pick: 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 12th Jun 2018

    Hi There,
    A friend of mine lend me his TAD40 for about 20 minutes and I was amazed, Instantly I noticed BlueChip was faster and tone was more alive. I ordered the TAD50, 60 because that's the size in Dunlop Ultex that I was using. As I was playing more and more, walks between chords, alternate picking it started to feel like I could get faster if the pick was smaller? Long story short I then moved to the TP50, 60? Then to the STP60, that's when I noticed the exceptional speed and accuracy and size was (Bang On), but was too pointy and stiff for ryhthm.
    I then ordered the KS40, 50, 60 cause I wasn't sure which I'd like better since i was switching to more rounded edges.
    I play lights on my Takamine EF360 and the KS40 has stolen the show "amazing" will be ordering more for backup. KS50, & 60 are good for picking but to stiff for strumming.
    Apologize for the long review but trying to help those that are thinking about the KS series.
    P.S. BlueChip picks are expensive but well worth it and have honestly made me a better player!
    Thanks for making the KS series.


  9. Too small for my hands 3 Star Review

    Posted by on 5th Dec 2017

    This is a nice slick little pick... but it's too small for me to play confidently. The pick is not much larger than a dime. The rounded edges produce a soft warm tone and make picking a quick melody easy.

    BlueChip was quick to deliver and handled the return just as quickly, so if you're happy paying postage, it might be worth an experiment.


  10. Excellent picks! 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 30th Sep 2017

    I have a number of BlueChip signature Kenny Smith picks in different thicknesses. They produce great tone and are very fast, comfortable and durable. Love ‘em!
