The STP is a smaller version of the TP. It is the same basic size as our Kenny Smith signature pick, but has sharper corners. The STP in a 50 thickness is the pick that Adam Steffey currently uses. This is the STP in 50/1000ths of an inch thickness(1.25mm). All of our picks are professionally machined, hand beveled, and laser etched. This pick comes with a speed 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.

I have 3 Collings acoustics and 2 Lowdens. I wanted a pick that I could put in every case and not worry about the size or thickness being any different from guitar to guitar. The problem was finding a pick that sounded great with the different wood combinations and purposes for these guitars.
Picks are as important to your tone as a bow is to a fiddle player. All picks are not created equally.
I narrowed it down to a V-Pick Euro, a ToneSlab Darth tone and a Bluechip STP 50. ( I tried Bluechip STP 40, STP 50, and STP 60 in the process) Sat on the couch trading out guitars and picks for about 2 hours. Came back and did it again the next afternoon just to be sure. The Bluechip STP 50 was the winner. Good solid depth and bass with enough brightness to make a good balance.
The ToneSlab dart tone was a close second. I found it too dark for my ear but loved it otherwise. An honorable mention was the V-Pick TTK-V.
I ordered 5 more of the Bluechip STP 50 picks that night. I have managed to not lose one yet.

I love this pick, I have several of them and I love it. I have tortoise, casein and plastics picks and nothing beats this pick for me!!!

After years of thinking to myself, "I don't need to buy a single pick that's more expensive than a whole bag of my regular picks," I remembered that playing music for people is my job...and I love my job! At the same time, I realized that I've been throwing picks into crowds for more than 20 years and that means that I had been officially been using "throw-away picks" for that whole time! I haven't thrown a capo, microphone, guitar cable or speaker stand in any crowd and was able to keep them employed for years...so why not a pick? I took a few twenties from a tip jar and made the decision to buy a BlueChip. How do I like it, you ask...well, this is the first online product review I've ever done...so, there's your answer. Well done BlueChip...you win!

The STP 50 (well, custom thickness 45 in my case) is my absolute favorite in tone and feel – after several years of trying different BC picks. (And BC picks are the best anyway.)

I can't get the tone I want out of any other pick. I own three (STP's), the first one is ten years old, I find no discernable degradation. I don't lose picks so still have them all, thanks for the new 'personalized' I've gotten recently! Good Job folks. Cheers, Larry

My particular guitar is designed for fingerstyle, so it is extremely finicky with picks. I have never found a pick that sounded better than my fingers, until now! This is a small pick but not too small, I feel like it would be comfortable for anyone used to playing a jazz3 or standard size pick but if you like larger picks you may struggle. I also have TD60 and CT55 which both also sound incredible. This pick is defiantly the brighter and more articulate of the 3 and I favor it for most of my playing now, but I would be happy with all of them and after some solid playing I purchased another 3 in different varieties as I’m sure they will be just as good if not better!!

Besides being too thick, the STP 50 seems to make the guitar (Bourgeois Country Boy) quieter and even "muted". I admit, the picking action is smooth and I like that. I ordered a TD 40 hoping this will be a lot more to my liking.
