The quality and craftsmanship is obvious at a glance. BlueChip picks have a density that produces a better tone than any other material I've used. You can hear the difference.

Got talked into this by a classically trained friend of mine, I was all set to order some "top shelf" picks that were much cheaper. All he really told me was: "They are the best, you won't regret it, and they seem to last forever, I have three of them." I've known this guy for 50 years, he picked out Stairway to Heaven on my sons bed because his parents wouldn't let him play it in their house,

I already owned 2 Blue Chip TAD40 1R picks that I play my acoustic guitars with, and they feel and sound spectacular, so, I ordered this TD40 for playing my electric guitars with. It does not disappoint. Thanks guys at Blue Chip Picks for making such fine products. My D42 Martin, Collings CWMHA, and my Preston Thompson DMA sound amazing, but even more so with your picks in my hand.

I have a few BlueChip picks and they are awesome!! Easy to play and all have fantastic tone! I use them for Guitar, Mandolin, and just recently purchased a Banjo thumbpick. I highly recommend.

The TD40 round bevel pick was the best pick I have ever used and then I bought one with the speed bevel and I found that to be even better. Thank you BlueChip.

I'm glad I took the plunge, and I think you will be as well. Great feel, grip, and tone. These picks are definitely an upgrade over my old favorites.

Bought a TD-35 then decided I needed a TD-40 as well. Both are great.

Just don't get any better than blue chip. Makes Bluegrass picking so much better. Stop reading and order yourself a couple.

I was tired of buying picks - kind of like the increasing cost of disposable razors, I didn't like shelling out money over & over, & I also got frustrated with picks as they'd wear down & then I'd find myself with 200 not-optimal-condition picks lying around.
So I'm not a bluegrass player – I mostly play effed-up electric blues & post-punk, although I do like to touch on all styles. I'd been using Tusq picks, which I think have a very reponsive attack with nice overtones, & Dunlop Primetones; those are the most "alive" sounding picks I've used other than string-shredding steel (they beat copper & aluminum). The Blue Chip matches/beats them tonally; the unique grip aspect of the Blue Pick also makes the pick become part of your hand, which creates a bit of a learning curve. I would forget I was holding the Blue Chip & scrape my fingers occasionally on the strings, which stopped happening once I got used to it. The only sonic criticism I would say is it's harder to make pick scrapes against the strings – they're not as bold for some reason. Considering I overuse pick scraping as part of my playing, I am thankful it has reduced my reliance on it! In any event, I hope this is the only pick I own forever (although I think I will also get the next thickness up, too, eventually).

I was a doubter. I asked myself, "Could a pick at that price point really be worth it?", "Are they really as good as everyone says they are?" The answer is yes, they are that good and worth every penny. The tone is noticeably much better than any other pick I've ever used and the feel on the strings is like greasing up your picks with some type of magical substance that allows the pick to just glide over the strings despite the thickness of the pick. I feel like I am better at playing guitar when using a Blue Chip pick and to me that makes any price worth it.
