very good but also like others
Posted by barry jurs on 30th Oct 2024
I use it for playing Martin hd28v with med strings. good sound with lots of volume. I actually like the Martin .96 mm pick better for sharper sound but the 40 bluechip gets much more volume. The BC 40 is a 1mm pick. wish BC made one a little less than 1mm. I believe it would give crispness and volume. Moving up to the BC 48 and 50 does not work on the Martin. The tone gets way too soft. However, the BC 50 is an absolute killer on my mandolins, nothing else comes close.

BLUECHIP PICKS: Outstanding product and outstanding customer service.
Posted by Mark on 4th Sep 2024
The picks glide across the strings.
The owners are very receptive to reasonable customizations. Easy to to business with, and quick turn around.

The BEST pick I have ever used!!
Posted by Chris Hogan Sr on 3rd Sep 2024
This TAD40 I just bought is my 4th BlueChip. The slightly larger triangle shape offers more area to grip and the sound these things make is top notch after you master it. Do yourself a favor and purchase your favorite BlueChip shape, your playing is worth it.

Excellent Pick For Arpeggios
Posted by Adam on 24th Aug 2024
Was excited to purchase and try a Blue Chip Pick, as I am always looking for ways to shape tone on acoustic guitar and read some wonderful reviews online. I like the larger shape of the TAD 40 and having played with it now maybe seven hours in total over a few days, don’t see any visible signs of wear. The material is very rigid / solid, so the pick is excellent for arpeggios, allowing you to play as fast as you like with virtually no clicking. The tone produced is clean and favors midrange with overtone. I think I prefer a pick with more flexibility for strumming chords and feel that the sound produced with the TAD 40 strumming seems to lose the upper shimmer present when playing vintage guitar with a softer, more flexible pick. That’s my reason for not giving five stars, as I bought what seemed to be the thinnest Blue Chip Pick available in this style, but I am still glad to have what seems to be an excellent pick and look forward to continuing to experiment with it, also to eventually see how it works with other vintage acoustics and a vintage electric.

I’m very happy with my Blue Chip picks. I’ve been using the TAD 40 for years. Every one of them is the same. Smooth and fast.

Worth it!
Posted by Stephen L. Kimberley MD on 10th Jul 2024
I ordered this on a whim, and when it arrived I thought I must have lost my mind to pay that much for a pick. I tried it out, half hoping that it would not be great so I could dismiss it.
I was wrong! the density of the material is perfect and the way the pick slides off the strings is magical. I am going to order a thumb pick as the one I just bought feels like a bread bag clip comparatively. I am putting this in my guitar case in its own case and nobody touches it!

Best pick I’ve ever used
Posted by Unknown on 1st Jul 2024
I was very reluctant to spend this much on a guitar pick but after the reviews I went ahead and took the plunge. I’ve been having trouble holding onto my normal picks and I’ve used many different ones. Ones with grip and bumps etc I’m getting carpal tunnel in my right hand, which has made it hard for me to hold onto my pics, especially when playing my acoustic guitar. I don’t know what it is, but with this pic, I have no problem holding onto it and it’s perfect. Great product guys I’ve bought four of them since only because I lost one. And I really appreciate the pic holder that you sent with it. Thanks so much.

Getting used to this wonderful pick
Posted by Lawrence Gordon on 28th May 2024
I am still getting used to these picks. The first thing I noticed is the dramatic improvement in the sound of my guitars. I have used thin picks for years and years and now I have found the one that I will be using from now onl
