This is the TAD pick in 50/1000 of an inch(1.25mm) 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.

These picks are great, I very much like the grip that this material gives on your fingers. It has helped a lot with control while cross-picking on guitar. Tonality is great.

This is a good pick but if you're expecting to play better, faster, and cleaner it ain't going to happen. There is no magic here and it is WAY overpriced.

Worth every penny but I wish they were dayglo orange and came with an insurance plan!

These picks are consistently great. Great finish work on them. Great sound to my ears. The fact that they never ware out is an added bonus. I'm thankful I found this company.

I am using the 50, 60 and 80 TAD picks. Most of the time I will stick with the 60. Great tone, great feel and no (and I repeat) - no string drag. The only thing close to the tone, feel and playability is a real tortoise shell. I have a couple left from the 70's and they are now retired because of my Blue Chips. Also, very little signs of wear with these picks. If I want a bit brighter sound I will use the 50TAD. ( I also use this on my Tele) . If I want a darker jazz tone I move up to the 80TAD. For all around flatpicking and fiddle tunes it's the TAD60. Also, my pick of choice for the 5-string (replacing my white National) is the JD in large. These picks are it...Get a Blue Chip and your search will be over!!!

I have the smalled Tad 50 with the one point and two rounded edges. Love this pick. It glides much better, just as they say and I'd tried several picks before this one. I needed help with tremolo work and it's been perfect.

Excellent pick. My mandolin teacher recommended these and helping immediately with my tremelo control. Engraving was perfect

Personally, I love the Blue Chip picks, their string clean response and "grip" ... but, best of all - the combo of a TAD30 andorTAD50 w/personalized boxes make highly appreciated gifts for my mando and guitar picking family and friends!

This is an awesome pick that only seems to get better with age. As I wear into it a little (which is a subtle thing, considering these picks hardly wear) the 'sweet spot' becomes apparent and always reliable.
It may take a little trial and error to find the perfect size and gauge, but when you do, viola!

This pick seems to bounce off the strings better than any other I have used. It seems quicker and cleaner for flat picking and solos.It is worth the extra money but don't lose it.
