I’ll Review if I ever get the pick I actually ordered.
Posted by Clinton Turner on 6th Apr 2020
Ordered a TD-60 AND THEY SENT A TD-40??? I figured for a $35 pick they could at least send the one I ordered....not happy.

So close to perfect for me....
Posted by Steve Sheroan on 10th Mar 2020
Let me preface by saying that I believe this pick is worth the price and that I intend to purchase more of them. I’m also using it on electric guitar exclusively, so bear that in mind if you are reading this review in order to decide whether you want to make the investment.
First off, my one-star deduction is based solely on grip. Many others have stated that their BC pick “disappears” into their hands. While I occasionally have this experience, I also have times where I feel I’m “chasing” the pick while playing. I am certain that this is simply a result of my own body chemistry, so I don’t doubt that others have not had any issues with this, as they’ve said. Also, I use a lot of different angles and grips which I’m sure is a contributing factor for me. That being said, as long as I wash my hands in warm water to soften them slightly and dry them well, I have better luck.
On the plus side, this thing has not worn much if at all in the few weeks that I’ve owned it, and for me that’s REALLY saying something. I play hard, fast, and constantly when I’m practicing, which is often 3-5 hours per day. I am truly dumbfounded at the durability of this material. For reference, I generally go through TWO celluloid picks on a 90 minute show. Primetone picks usually last me 3-4 shows before I need a fresh one, with no practicing with those in between. The BC has been my only practice AND show pick since I’ve had it, and it feels the same as the day I received it, despite pick slides and literally millions of notes played with it. Once again, this is on electric guitar with .009’s, but nonetheless....
The pick does really glide off of the strings very well, while simultaneously producing a “positive contact” full-sounding note, with much less unwanted scratchy string noise than my similar Primetone picks.
Despite being a professional working guitarist on a tight budget, I let my quest for the perfect plectrum and burning curiosity drive me to the purchase of my TD40, and I can honestly say that there is no hype here. I am by nature a notoriously practical person, and for me every piece of gear I use is function-over-form. This TD40 fits the bill IMO, now to just avoid losing it!

Surprised About Being Amazed!
Posted by Rom on 6th Feb 2020
I've used a lot of picks over the years and was quite skeptical, considering the price of this Bluechip pick. However, I hear they'll last a long time (as long as you don't lose it). As long as they do, I love it. The material is what is so special, both from a grip standpoint, as well as a tone standpoint. Thank you for this amazing product!

My first Blue Chip pick
Posted by Robert Danby on 19th Jan 2020
This is my first Blue Chip pick and I love it. A couple of friends have them and spoke highly of them. I was hesitant due to the price but not anymore. It's hard to put into words but the pick glides effortlessly over the strings, has a solid feel to it and great tone. I like it so much I don't want to put my guitar down!

Blue Chip Fan
Posted by Dale Miller on 8th Jan 2020
This is the 4th TD40 I have purchased. They are costly so I don't throw them around like I used to do with my Fender mediums. But, over the years as I have expanded my playing style both electric and acoustic I have found harder picks to be faster and warmer. I do a lot of hybrid picking and find this to be a great pick.

Has a easy grip and durability

Decent but overpriced
Posted by Umer on 5th Nov 2019
TD40 with speed bevel is very similar sounding to my regular Dava Delrin Rock Control on electric guitar. The Dava pick doesn't last long but its only a buck a pick. I think I can pick faster with the TD40. The sound of the Blue Chip may change when its broken in a bit, just got it recently.

Smooth picking & sticks to your fingers!
Posted by Bill Breen on 25th Oct 2019
I don't claim to be a whiz-bang guitar flat-picker (I'm a banjo picker & LOVE their thumb picks!), but...
I enjoy picking the guitar, too. I have tried many different picks, thicknesses, shapes, etc. Until I tried the Blue Chip TD-40, nothing felt "quite right."
After only a few minutes with the Blue Chip, I discovered picking and strumming to be smoother and more accurate (not sure why, and don't care). I also found I am able to maintain a nice grip with my thumb and index finger. Is the Blue Chip pick worth it...even to a non-whiz-bang guitar picker? Answer: YOU BETCHA!

Exactly what I've been looking for
Posted by Anthony on 31st May 2019
so a little back story. I have been going back and forth on purchasing one of these picks for about 2 years now. its the same story you hear all the time... why would i pay $35 for a pick when i can get about 48 picks for the same price on amazon? well. the voice of reason was my banjo player. he swearssss by them. i got a chance to try one out at a newly opened vintage guitar store in my hometown. boom. sold. i immediately stopped playing. pulled out my phone and ordered the TD-40 (they had none in stock). i opted for the customization, just in case i dropped it and someone "picked" it up... see what i did there ;)
anyways, this is a grade A product and one that i recommend to all my picking brothers and sisters.

Now use BC exclusively
Posted by H Todd Bowman on 21st May 2019
I've been using BC TAD-1R 60's with my mandolin and thumb picks for the banjo for years and used an old CT55 that I had lying around with my acoustic guitar and always thought it was just a bit heavy/thick. I picked up a couple TD-40's to try with the guitar and I am sold! The perfect size and thickness for the way and what I play (worship, folk, bluegrass, and jazz). A great pick!
