The Best!
Posted by Unknown on 21st Feb 2025
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!

Best picks I’ve ever used!
Posted by Steve Farling on 16th Jan 2025
These picks are the Bomb! As a bluegrass mandolin player, I’ve switched sizes, styles, and thicknesses and have always had great results. I’ve went from an 80mm down to a 40mm TAD which is my current pick. They are easy to hold onto and slick on the strings. I don’t think you can be disappointed.

Gift for Left Handed Picker
Posted by Unknown on 26th Dec 2024
I just gifted a friend who recently switched to left handed guitar a TAD 40 left bezeled pick. As usual, great customer service and friend is real pleased with the outcome, and with his name engraved. Thanks Blue Chip.

Can't Believe It!
Posted by Debra H Cowan on 9th Dec 2024
I have always wanted to try one before I paid that much money for a pick. I recently had the opportunity to play with someone who had a TAD 40 so she let me try it. I could tell a big difference with the first strum. So, I ordered it. The first time I played it with my band the leader just looked at me and said "WOW!" I hadn't even told him I had bought a Blue Chip.

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.
