Product Description
This is the TAD pick in 60/1000 of an inch(1.5mm) 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.

where has this pick been all my life
Posted by Jon Healey on 8th Jan 2019
To put it simply, I play better using your product. I have a mild deformity with my index finger. The slightly enlarged TAD, along with the bevel are huge! Thank you. I name some of my picks Blue Alex , after my boy cat who likes to howl in the hallway at nights. Guess he’s lonely...

Great pick
Posted by Nick Mike on 25th Dec 2018
Great pick, sound tone good but as a hard bluegrass picker, they eventually do get burrs. I haven’t tried to send them back for refurbishing but I assume BC would.
Overall, best pick on the market

skeptic
Posted by guido on 25th Jun 2018
I thought I had thrown away $$ for a pick, but was immediately surprised- the bluechip has a really dynamic feeling, is easy to grip, has a nice tone. Takes some getting used to as it does seem to glide off the strings. (Collings MT mandolin)

TAD60 vs PrimeTone 1.5
Posted by ROGER on 14th May 2018
Comparing this to the flat (not embossed) triangle PrimeTone 1.5 (My only pick for the last several years):
Basically identical size and thickness.
BC is slightly more flexible.
PT slightly more rounded on the points.
BC really DOES stick to your fingers for no apparent reason.
With no modifications, BC gives a bit more high pluck, and the PT more Mid-Pop. Round a corner of the BC microscopically, re-bevel and MOST IMPORTANTLY re-polish (try toothpaste) and the difference mostly disappears.
Tremolo might be a bit easier with the BC.
The slight bit of give in the BC is probably what the Dr ordered for my geriatric wrist and elbow, so I'm likely to stick with it.
Not sure I'd buy another at the price, though.

Best Ever
Posted by mike on 30th Apr 2018
Perfect large size and thickness. Been using Golden Gate mandolin picks for years, but they’re just too small to hang on to. These are big enough and thick enough and get grabby when wet and they are also very quiet. Perfect.

amazing
Posted by Jason on 16th Apr 2018
I’m truly stunned at how much better this pick sounds on my acoustic guitars v’s every other pick. Truly, it’s a clearer, crisper sound. More highs, more mids, more defined lows. My Martin D18 sounds absolutely incredible with this pick. Very satisfied customer!

Great pick, wrong size
Posted by Roy Sandoval on 10th Apr 2018
Actually, it looks like I mad a mistake. I had many Blue Chip picks an quite frankly am spoiled. This time though, I ordered the TAD 60 thinking it was he same diameter outline as the Chris Thile 55. It's just a "TAD" bit smaller. I wish I could exchange it but I think you check that box that says you know exactly what you are getting etc. etc.

After 40 years I found the perfect pick !
Posted by Chas Burns on 5th Apr 2018
I have been playing guitar for 40 years and have accumulated hundreds of guitar picks. I read an article on Kenny Smith and decided to spend what I thought was an exorbitant amount on a Blue Chip pick. It was Christmas time and I thought I would treat myself. When I received the pick I could not believe how effective it was. It raised my playing level tenfold. I would recommend Blue Chip picks to anyone.
Anyone want my hundred old picks ?

BlueChip is the only pick to use
Posted by Robert Parini on 9th Mar 2018
I have many BC picks and the TAD60 is yet another great one. Use it it on an F5 mandolin. BlueChip also re-beveled a damaged CT55 for me and it came back like new.

Fabulous Pick
Posted by PAUL ROSENBERG on 23rd Jan 2018
TAD - 60 is great. I like the TAD - 50 better for mandolin. The 60 has its own vibe - great for guitar. Truth be told, I'm always switching among Tad-40, 50, and 60. All sound great and a little different - depends on the song.
