The TAD50 is a bright stiff pick that glides right through strings. The sound is a little brighter than I expected, which I'd attribute to the sharp points, but it does make your voice stand out.

My Thompson D-MA already has amazing tone, but this pick really does pull more out of it. The speed bevel gave the pick that already broke in feel right out of the box. After almost a month of hard playing there are zero signs of wear! Super happy with it and I can say well worth the money. Just don't lose it!

Being completely new to the product, I researched as much as possible prior to purchase; but until you can actually play with the pick, it is hard to get a feel for the texture, size and stiffness, etc. So, I am fine with the pick in general, but now that I have played with this pick, in hind sight I would have ordered a TAD40. The TAD50 is a little stiff for my preference.I am playing a a Gibson A0 pre-1920.

Highly recommend them. I like the TAD 50. The TAD40 gives a little brighter tone and is great also.Very consistent feel and action.

I had read a few interviews with people like Chris Eldridge and Julian Lage in which they said these picks are incredibly. How can a pick be incredible? That was my thought process.
A friend nudged me and said I was wrong.
Well, I did an A/B between my old Dunlop Ultex 1.14mm and the TAD 50, and the difference was striking. It sounded better. Fuller. I couldn't believe it. It really does matter. If you're skeptical, I can tell you honestly that I get it. I was never going to spend more money on picks than I had historically. But, I was wrong. Worth every penny.

These picks are amazing! I love the way they stay put between your thumb and finger. They will make your picking faster because they glide so easy over the strings. They bring out the tone in your guitar! Why spend thousands of dollars on a great guitar and 50 cents on a pick? The Blue Chip picks are worth the money! I called them and ordered mine engraved, it was here the next day.. thanks Blue Chip!

Sounds clean, doesn't wear down and is easy to hold. Very good tone and worth the extra money

I've been using the pic for a few weeks. I've come to the conclusion that I should have bought the TAD 45. I'm just not ready for this thickness. I'm glad I have it and it was an upgrade from the 40 I bought a while back, but a little later I'll get the 45. Thanks for these products, I'll never get another brand.

The TAD 50 is a great balance of power/drive with sensitivity and connection with the strings. I use this primarily for bluegrass on a custom martin dreadnought. Lately loving medium gauge nickel bronze strings as well. Just buy it.

I have been picking stringed instruments for forty years. I have been through so many pick choices. I was given a Blue Chip pick by a friend to try and I have never used another brand. The tone, feel and consistency is second to none.
I use TAD-3R 40 for acoustic guitar and TAD 50 for mandolin.
