Forget the rest. Buy the best.
Posted by Dafydd on 25th Jan 2016
I can't say enough about these picks. Fast, quiet and a sure grip. Especially the grip for dry hands like mine.

The best modern pick hands down IMO
Posted by Richrd Calvert on 20th Jan 2016
These picks are the next best thing to natural Tortoise shell. Which is endangered so I have given up using them. Better from the wear and maintenance standpoint too. After several years of using my first one there is yet to be any required care of the picking edge.

Longer lasting
Posted by M on 14th Jan 2016
My experience with TAD60's has been that they seem to last longer before the edges start to wear. I play just about everyday, and will often wear a pick out in just one day.
The reason I came to Blue Chips in the first place was to find a longer lasting pick. These seem to last the longest and provide the best tone of any I've tried.

So good I bought two!
Posted by Ric In Richmond on 11th Jan 2016
So good I bought two since I was worried what I would do if I lost one.
Fits, never slips, never chafes, has a slick hard surface that wears great and doesn't get scratchy. JD Crowe tip works for me.
Not hype...just quality.

TRIED ALL OTHER BRANDS.....I'M BACK!!!
Posted by Jerry Martin on 4th Jan 2016
Been using the BC's now for about 3yrs. or so, a CT55 and also TAD 60 and some rounded. About 6 mo. ago I decided to try another pick searching to be honest for a less expensive option.
Without being specific on brand trust me I spent a small fortune on mail order and reading the write ups and ordering every pick I thought would be a good alternative. Some were OK some were terrible, almost 100% of them had pick quack or some other obtrusive and annoying noise associated with them. I flat pick Bluegrass and fiddle tunes so am very conscious of the attack and tone from my pick. Found a few I stuck with for a week or so here and there and in this period of time my BC TAD 60 was laying in the drawer unused for a while.
Well about a mo. ago I picked it up as I was once again unhappy with the pick i was using, I was just blown away!! Like an old friend my picking hand was back, noises were gone, speed recovered!
I decided I was back for good, why was I hunting all over when the IMO perfect pick was mine all along. Ordered three more since then and have quit looking at anything else. The TAD60 is it for me.
I try my best to always replace it in the pouch as I have a tendency to lose picks and that is a bummer, plus my dog decided to crunch one..he won the pick lost!!

Tad 60 pick
Posted by Don on 24th Nov 2015
Absolutely superb. I use this one than the 50 on my mandolin as seems to add a bit more bite for bluegrass. The 50 I find works better on slower tunes that require that extra tonal character. Engraving perfect and a nice touch.

Its a great pick but not a great 35.00 Pick
Posted by Jim Beam on 23rd Nov 2015
Its smooth and handles good, dont know yet how it wears. But its sort of like what I watched on You tube on the experts that could pick the high end guitars over the quality imports, THEY COULDN'T and were wrong more than they were right. When you buy a 3500 martin you have to rate it good. When you buy a 35.00 Pick you dont want to look foolish either. But what do I know.

Love this pick.
Posted by K. Osborne on 31st Aug 2015
This has become my favorite pick. It's the perfect thickness for me me. I typically prefer the speed bevel for acoustic and the rounded bevel for electric guitar, although some might find that backwards...It feels solid and durable, and you can shape them easily with some fine wet/dry paper and make them a little sharper or duller as you like, and they just never fail me. Great tone, great size, nice silky smooth action with the strings. I love them!

This pick makes a difference
Posted by Mark Templeton on 5th Aug 2015
After trying pick after pick (including tortoise shell) I finally broke down and ordered a Blue Chip. My mandolin just "Came to life" It increased not only my volume but also "deepened" my tone. I immediately ordered another one just incase I lost it....or someone borrowed it and forgot to give it back..LOL..... Note I play 50-60 shows a year and I will be sure to tell other musicians my "Blue Chip" story...I have already had folks ask if I got a new mandolin...

These are for real
Posted by Vincent Varano on 5th Jul 2015
Since I started playing bluegrass, I've learned the difference that a good pick will make. I waited over a year to try Blue Chip picks. After finally taking the plunge and using the TAD 60 for the past 2 months, I have to say it is the best pick I've ever used. There's a lot of hype surrounding these picks, I have to admit they are exceptional.
