I use it primarily for bluegrass flatpicking and it really does facilitate clean, fast playing with a great tone. Love the beveled edge.

This is the best I have ever used in my 30 plus years of playing.
I have been using my first one for 5 years and basically no pick wear with daily use.

I noticed no picking noise on the video's. I bought one and they are as everyone said. I stopped using other picks. I'm a beginner and even I can tell. Sticks to your fingers but isn't sticky. Makes strumming smoother. I got the TD 40. The "regular" pick.

These days I play mostly acoustic guitars with medium strings. I play almost every day with 2-4 gigs per week. I had used Fender and Dunlop picks for years. I was always unhappy with the rough spots that would develop on the pick that created a sandpaper like sound against the strings. I would bring 5-6 picks to every gig and then need to use a ultra light steel wool to polish the picks before the next gig. I've used the TD40 at 5 gigs now. It has held remarkably well so far.

I've gotten so used to the quality of this pick I was afraid to not have backups. Great tone, great response, easy grip, wear like iron. Never thought I'd pay this much for a pick, but then, before I owned my first Martin, I never thought I'd pay that much for a guitar. In both cases, I feel a difference worth the expense.

I use different BC picks for different instruments. They are simply the best. The BC TD 40 is perfect for my Phoenix Neoclassical mandolin. I also have an old BC 40, no TD on the pick. I have had it for years. It is my most favorite pick.

I've been a professional guitarist for over 40 years, and Bluechip picks are the best picks I've ever used. I used to use tortoise shell back in the day, and these picks have a remarkably similar tone, but with a warmer feel, and the breakage factor. The speed bevel is a brilliant idea as well. If you don't own one of these picks, do yourself a favor.

I feel this is the best flat pick guitar pick I have ever used. The grip is solid in your fingers even here in the Florida humidity. The tone produced by this pick is the best I hear from several nice dreadnoughts I own. The customer service at Blue Chip is also always first rate.
Thank you for such a quality product.

Plays well with good tone and minimal effort compared to my usual 0.88 mm pick. I chose a slightly thicker pick and think that is the way to go. It is surprising how much smoother it plays with both chords and runs of individual notes as compared to my usual tortex pick. I gave one to a friend who also thinks it is great!
