Dudn’t get any better
Posted by Mike on 30th Mar 2021
At least for my mando playing, this is the perfect pick. Nothing else is even close. I love the feel of this pick, how it glides across the strings, and the tone it coaxes out. Rhythm or lead, it dudn’t get any better.

Just love these picks. Great grip, tone and shape. Tried a couple different thicknesses, the 50 is perfect for me.

TAD50 (vs TR48)
Posted by Joseph Marshall Brown on 24th Feb 2021
First off, the TAD50 rules. Hands down best pick I've ever played with.
I first got the TP48, however my fingers were used to gripping the Dunlop Primetone which is a little bigger so the TP48 was sliding around my fingers a bit. When I switched to the TAD50, all was solved!

Purchased for Guitar and Mandolin
Posted by John Seltzer on 15th Feb 2021
Guitar: Great tone, smooth action, and wide-ranging playability. I'm able to get a broad range of sound out of my guitar, this is the multi-tool of flatpicking!
Mandolin: I bought this pick primarily for guitar, but it feels so good I've made it my Mando pick too. Great for tremolo!

hard to choose
Posted by Michael on 29th Jan 2021
I'm outside the states, but since orders over $100 had free shipping I bought 3 with the intention of selling 2 off and keeping the one I liked.
TAD60
TAD50
TP48
But it's real hard to choose. I love the TAD60 for strumming and if I use this for picking then change to the TP48 it feels like I've taken the weights off, so can't get rid of either of them, then there's Carter style which I'm learning too. The TAD50 fits here. So for now at least, I'm keeping them all.

Perfect flatpicking pick for me
Posted by Roy Boy on 26th Jan 2021
I've been using a CT-55 for mandolin for many years now. After recently getting a Rosewood dread, I put that pick to work on my new focus on flatpicking. It's a great pick, smooth and strong but the rosewood dread sounded a little too dark, especially lacking the crisp edge on Phosphor bronze wound strings. I thought it was the just the guitar. I tried different strings (80/20s), they were better but after they mellowed out, same issue. I tried a TAD 40 1R I use on my GA Taylor but it was too flexible and not enough body in the tone. So I ordered the TAD 50, it's perfect! The crispness is there and there's still plenty of power for flatpicking. And of course it has the grip, speed bevel, and tactile response of a Blue Chip. Lovin it!

Best so far!
Posted by Michael P Aschoff Jr on 21st Jan 2021
These picks made my JP signature picks sound like I was playing a toy guitar. I really didn't want these to be worth it but they are completely. Can't really play with anything else in the same session. I like these better than my Redbear picks as well. Just a little slippery is all so live use might be an issue but these would be perfect for recording. I bought 3 of these to have some squirreled away :)

Slick Pick
Posted by Social Exodus on 19th Jan 2021
This is my second Bluechip pick, the first being a second hand (but unworn) TAD 60. The TAD 60 was a tad too thick for my Martin 000-28, but works well on my brighter Taylor 814ce.
This pick is a dream on my Martin, giving me back some snap to the attack, and not making the sound too dark.
You can't beat these picks, once you find your match. The only other material I use for acoustics is casein which is a great sound, but a very fragile pick otherwise. The Bluechip picks I have may well last me the rest of my life without appreciable wear.

Like a Good Bow for a Violin
Posted by Ronald Sharpe on 15th Jan 2021
I'm a violinist who has recently taken up the mandolin. A friend recommended I try a BlueChip pick and I'm just amazed—though I really shouldn't be. Violinists understand that a good bow is as important as a good instrument. I should have known the same is true for plucked instruments as well! My new BlueChip pick has an amazing smoothness that has been super helpful in developing a consistent, even tremolo. Considering what we pay for strings, cases, etc. the price of a BlueChip pick is reasonable.
