The TAD 40 has been the primary pick I have used for many years. I gave away my tortoise pick and kevlar picks because they just sat in my case.
By way of disclosure, I play a 2005 Collings MT2V mandolin strung with D'Addario XT medium strings and have been playing for over 30 years.

This pick is my favorite for guitar. It is large enough to have a firm grip when picking melodies and strumming rhythm.

I love Blue Chip picks - was given one at a picking party some years back and wow, life changing.

I’ve considered tortoise shell picks to be the gold standard. I don’t know what Blue Chip picks are made of but they are the only picks that give tortoise a serious run for the money! And they are cheaper, easier to obtain and wear much better than tortoise.

I wish they would have existed 40 years ago. Superior to anything I ever played with.

I've never used another pick since buying my first TADS40 a few years ago. I feel like this pick moves my skill level up by several notches. Perfect weight and machining for speed and accuracy.

I have used BlueChip picks for several years.
I carry two TAD 40 picks with me all the time.
Also, two in both guitar cases.
My last purchase was a gift for a Pastor friend.
I want all my friends to be as happy as I am.
Thank You BlueChip!!!

I ordered the TAD 40 by mistake. I thought I ordered something different and was surprised when this was the pick I received. Turns out that I'm really happy about clicking on this pick by accident, I'm in love with how it performs. So much so that I went ahead and bought another one.

I bought this pick for a friend because I like the ones I have bought for myself and a couple of other people I have gifted Blue Chips to have also liked them. My friend seemed to be attached to his 0.8 mm Clayton tricorner and I figured the TAD 40 I play might be too thick for him. I got advice from your team and as a result was able to order a TAD 40 which was actually a TAD 35. My friend seemed to like it and he sounded great while using the pick. Thanks for the special order.
