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.

This pick was made to go with my Eastmen 515 Mandolin. Just like adding a pickup.

I tried, for the life of me , to poo poo Blue Chip Picks. I kept thinking, "How can a guitar pick be worth the money?"
Well, I'm a believer. I purchased the TAD40 and TAD60. I even had my name inscribed.
These picks stay with you with out having to get a cramp trying to hold on to them. They are quiet when I'm playing quietly and have the stamina when more is needed. All-in-all they are simply the best I have played. I love them and will have more soon. Great job Blue Chip!

I shamelessly copied the previous title, without alteration, because I am 100% agree with the previous reviewer. I bought two picks. One "normal" and one round bevel and they arrived today. I play archtop guitar with 013 round wound strings and both picks reduce very similar sound when I play my guitar with my thumb! I am totally amazed. The sound are very clean without any noise. And best of all they are very easy to play. I also have a TAD100, but TAD40's thickness is suitable for me much better.

My headline says it all, these picks are just amazing, I have been using them for 3 years now, the only problem, well after a year or so I will lose one (darn brown color) They glide through the strings and virtually no pick noise. Worth the money, specially if you already invested on a nice instrument, try them out, you will not be disappointed.

I play bluegrass guitar. I practice and get out to jams. My level is about lower intermediate. When I got my TAD40 (speed bevel right), I already had a TP1R40, TD35, and TD60. I've found no use for a rounded edge. My hands are big, and I really like the size of the TAD. You get the triangle shape and all 3 points are speed beveled, so you are really getting 3 picks for the price of 1. It also doesn't matter which side is up or down; the speed bevel is the same. Just pick up the pick and play. I also recently got a TAD35, at no extra charge for the special 35 thickness. They are both sweet, but I like the 35 a little better. It is stiff enough, yet the thinness gives a little brighter tone. Blue Chip picks do absolutely have a better grip, and are smoother over the strings. I can't say that I am a lot better picker now, maybe just a little bit, but I don't have to think about my pick anymore. Well worth it, and trust me, once you've used a Blue Chip, you love it, and you won't lose it.

Was introduced to Blue Chip picks by a friend who plays guitar and mando. My reaction, like everyone else's, was $35? For a pick? Bullshit!
Then I played it. Then I bought a couple. Now I have a half dozen Blue Chip picks and have given some to friends.
Yes, they are worth it. More than worth it.

Like the feel of this as opposed to other composite picks.

Love the feel of this material. When a person thinks of something as expensive, stand back and look at the whole picture. The large triangle (aka a reuleaux triangle) is important to me in bluegrass and country. In the long run, what's a measly couple hundred dollars. It's only money. Wanted to mess with all five thicknesses of the TAD (love the origin of the name TAD) just for fun. That was me that e-mailed you about the "TAD" acronym. Trying to "finger" out what this composite is. Is it Meldin 7001 Polyimide, if you're free to answer. Respectfully submitted...Tom.....
