This is the TAD pick in 40/1000 of an inch(1.0mm) thickness. It is shaped identically to the TP, but is slightly larger. All BlueChip Picks are professionally machined, laser engraved, and hand beveled.
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.

A fine well made crafted item I wish I had an opportunity to try them all I purchased the TAD 40. It was a bit firm for me. I am a beginner and need a lighter , thinner pick.

Great feel and grip. It picks the string and slide off perfectly.
I cannot imagine a better pick.

Feels great in the fingers, I see why the professionals love it. You don’t have to think about is your pick slipping. Love this product. Getting a thump pick.

Bought this TAD40 so I would have two sizes and two thicknesses since I also ordered a TP48. The TAD40 gives you a little more to hang onto and a slightly brighter tone which is good for rhythm. I use both picks regularly.

Big difference between this pick and others— much easier to play and the tone is loud and clear.

I’ve been using Blue Chip picks for over ten years, though not exclusively. I do like to change things up in all areas of equipment just to keep the music making fresh. But I eventually come back to these picks (the TAD 35 being my favorite for electric guitar, the CT 55 for mandolin, and the 40s for acoustic and bass when I pick. I don’t know exactly why, but they do seem to sound better for most playing.

These picks are the best. My tone improved so much when I started playing with a Bluechip!

I’ve been having hand issues due to carpal tunnel and trigger finger. I’ve been having problems holding onto my picks. I tried several with different grips and even put in sticky stuff but it did not work. I never wanted to spend this much on a pick but I gave it a try and it was well worth the money. I also never used this thick of a pick but after having used them for a few months now I’m used to the thickness.
I ordered three more with my name as I’m not changing back now.
Great pick

I tried on the recommendation of a friend. The size is perfect. The material get easier to hold as it warms up while playing. Tone is amazing.

I use a TAD 48 and CT 55 for my Mandolin and TP 40 and TP 48 for my guitar. These picks are the best out there by far and are really inspiring to make music with!
