1. Very Pleased

   Posted by Brant Harris on 12th Jul 2023

   Produces a remarkable warm tone. Doesn’t slip, great grip. Feels very nice in the hand. Glides through the strings effortlessly. A worthy investment.

2. Simply The Best

   Posted by Unknown on 24th Jun 2023

   I have been playing both electric & acoustic guitar for over 40 years in many different styles and have tried many pick types. The Blue Chip is hands down the greatest pick I've ever laid fingers on!
   
   What amazes me most is that, while it is in my experience the smoothest, slickest feeling pick coming 'off the string' so to speak, it is at the same time extremely resistant to moving around between the fingers. One would think that, just as it glides so easily across the strings, it would also slip out of the hand easily, but not so!
   
   I love these picks, they are the best!
   
   Thank you.

3. Checks off ALL the boxes for a great pick. Buy it without question. The triangle shape is awesome.

   Posted by Hunter on 14th Jun 2023

   This pick does an excellent job in all categories. These are my criteria for an excellent pick, and since this pick accomplishes ALL of them (not just 2-3 like most picks), the Blue Chip is a master pick:
   
   1. Balanced tone (equal representation of all frequency ranges, from bass to mids to treble).
   2. Good volume potential (you can put energy/force into the strings and the acoustic guitar can be loud).
   3. Good speed potential (it is shaped and beveled to glide off the string if you want it to).
   4. Low pick noise (less distracting sounds when you hit the string).
   5. Good grip (it sticks to your fingers more, and is NOT likely to slip from your fingers).
   6. Durable material (this material really does resist wear-and-tear).
   
   Another aspect to this pick's tone requires more explanation. The tone is more lively or 3D than cheaper picks. It makes the strings leap out more. It's sort of like when a singer's voice is more forward and has a bit of space to it. They cut through without applying extra effort, and their sound is pleasant rather than dull. Other picks sound more "flat" where the sound doesn't seem as lively. This is one of the things that makes a guitar sound "average" versus "studio quality". But you can really hear this 3D quality in the room with the Blue Chip. You don't have to put as much effort into the strings for the sound to come out. It's definitely more dynamic and lively. I think the triangle shape adds to the tone as well, because it sounds really punchy and full (on top of having more surface area to hold onto). If the TAD60 shape feels too large, the TP60 is slightly smaller (the same length as a Dunlop Flow pick).
   
   Conclusion: This pick earns the right to ask for $35. Violinists spend a lot more on a good bow, and guitarists spend plenty on electronics like pedals and pickups. Why shouldn't guitar players invest in a proper pick that checks off ALL the boxes? It's the best investment you can make. You COULD get something like the Dunlop Primetone, and that pick IS good; however, the Blue Chip is another level above that. There are no compromises. The Dunlop Primetone has more "clicky noise" when hitting the string, and the sound is not as lively (it doesn't leap out like the Blue Chip). You COULD get the Primetone and check off half the boxes (still good), or you could do the right thing and make no compromises:
   
   Buy the Blue Chip, and get that cool carrying case for $4 so you can securely hold onto it. Then you can spend years enjoying the best, and FINALLY forget about your pick.

4. True review, best tone ever.

   Posted by Terry on 5th Jun 2023

   I was watching a YouTube video by Joe Robinson on the equipment he uses. At the end of the video he talks about picks. He raved about a very expensive guitar pick called Blue Chip and said it was very expensive but gave him the best tone out of all his picks. I didn’t believe him but I have never seen him exaggerate. So I bought the TAD 60, and I bought a competitor’s pick, same size and thickness to see if Joe was correct. Uh, yeah, Joe was right. I don’t actually know how but the tone from this pick is amazing. I can hear the difference. I admit that I have some high end acoustic guitars which already have great tone. I did not expect any improvement in my tone but I was happily surprised.

5. My favorite mandolin pick

   Posted by Roger on 1st Jun 2023

   I use it on all my mandos - vintage and modern. No click, just pick!

6. Quality pick!

   Posted by Marielene Bouyeure on 11th May 2023

   I bought the TAD 60 some years ago (with a thumb pick as well) and have always taken great care of these and have never ever used anything else since. (I own over 100 picks of different brands) I use it with my acoustic and e-guitars.
   Last week I played in Christian meetings and we were three guitar players. One of them asked me for my pick and said afterwards that it must be a very expensive pick, because it felt like it :-)
   At the end of my stay I gave it him (He was very happy) I and ordered exactly the same once home! These are the best!

7. Love Love LOVE!!!!!!

   Posted by Tim on 24th Apr 2023

   Already own a CT55 and a TAD60. Amazing what they do for your tone and they play like ice skates on freshly Zamboni'd ice!!! I prefer the shape of the CT55, which I use on my octave mandolin like 12 string, but the TAD60 sounds better with my Taylor, so I modified the TAD60 to mimic it. Awesome!!! Ordered 2 more TAD60s with the CT55 shape.
   WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!
   Easy to understand why top level players use these!!!!
   Pricy for just a plectrum, but sure worth it!!!

8. TAD-60

   Posted by Dan Ingram on 23rd Mar 2023

   I’m blown away with the way this pick slides on the strings with ease and still has brilliant tones with the strings!! One of the best picks I’ve ever played with. I waited for 45 years to buy one. I’ve played for a long time, I wish I’d bought one along time ago. Mossman- Winter Wheat-1977
   
   Perfect balance!!
   
   Thanks fellas!

10. Great pick... worth the $

    Posted by John M Nunley on 10th Jan 2023

    Definitely beats any pick I've used to date. Pricey but worth it in my view. Highly recommend!
