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. 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.

I love these triangle picks. For flatpicking my dreadnought I'm going with the TAD 60. For my 000, I like the TAD 50. I've compared these to caesin, primetone and old natural materials, and the bluechip are the best. They are fast, clean and ring out the loudest, cutting through everything when I want to.

This is the best pick I’ve ever used! Before buying a bluechip, I was extremely skeptical of a $35 pick. After being pestered by several musician friends to buy one, I got one. I’m a bluegrass flat picking guitarist, and this really helps my guitar ring! I’ve tried playing on other picks, but it isn’t the same. Make sure you purchase the pick holder so you don’t lose it. Never going back to 50 cent picks!

I wanted to try a larger pick, been using the TD's
This pick seems to work just as well for me. I really like the chord tones with this larger pick.

I Play guitar. You should too.. I've had/have the TAD40, TAD50, CT55, TAD60 and TP60. They are all great, but different... you lose some twang with each step up in thickness. OR DO YOU?...dun, dun, dun.
The TAD40 and TP60 I have sound very similar. Which is a sound I really like for Bluegrass and just overall. I was surprised by the similarities, with the thickness difference. I like the size of TAD best, but the sound of the TP60 has peaked my curiosity. I will most likely keep trying new Bluechips, because it's my nature. It's not because I should. I'm sure I have my bases covered.
Oh yeah, this is a TAD60 review. It's the warmest of my Bluechips. I also have noticed some clickyness. Especially when holding it loosely. I can't say I've noticed it in the others. It's not terrible, but I've noticed it at times. We are getting thick here. As it stands, if I were to advise a Bluegrass picker that just wanted 1 pick, I would suggest the TAD40. I'm sure it's suitable for other styles too...but who cares about that?? J/k..Have fun!
*I have to mention the customer service. Some of the best in any business. These guys will take care of you. These picks ain't cheap, but the fact they will take care of you is worth it. Stories I've heard of them replacing picks.. You are most likely making a lifetime purchase. Unless you string up with barbwire.
God Bless. Give Jesus a try and you will find a Peace that passes all understanding. What do you have to lose?
Forgive me if you see this same review more on the picks I've listed. I ain't got time to write a novel. Not again, anyway.

I grew up playing guitar, but have recently taken up the mandolin. I started playing it with a TD-60 pick, and although the weight of the pick was great for producing a fuller tone, I was surprised to learn that the smaller sized pick just didn’t feel right to me for mandolin playing. But when I switched to this TAD-60 pick, it was just the ticket. I can play faster because my hand can relax, and the weight really brings out the best tone. I’m playing on a Collings MF Deluxe.

Just starting to use heavier picks, this one feels great, good grip and shape.

Love it. I like the size. Have several other BC’s. This and the CT 55 are my favorites!

it doesn't slip and slide when I first pick it up. It's supposed to be a medium gauge but it seems a bit on the heavy side. The beveling makes for easier and faster picking. All in all I like it

I am a pro and have been playing classical and electric guitar for 58 years. Currently playing jazz archtops like Tal Farlow, Gibson L 5 CES and L4 CES . I have tried so many different pics and far too many to remember.
The Blue Chips might be an expensive pic but I believe it is worth all the money The TAD 60 is easy to hold, fast and super clean. It actually brings out the natural sound of the archtop with sustain, clarity and beautiful presence. The guitar is more alive and it sounds more majestic bringing out a character and a voi e similar to a piano making perfect for solo performances. Thank you Blue Chip. I have now 4 of the TAD 60 pics and will be promoting it with musicians friends of mine that are desperate for something as good. I live In Melbourne and a boutique plectrum like the Blue Chip is not available from our retailers. I am more than happy to pay for the transport cost for such a wonderful tool. Spending a fortune on guitars an amp makes no sense unless you have a Blue Chip plectrum to complete the job. Cheers and buy it with confidence. And no! I do not have an interest in the Blue Chip Company. I just love it so much.
