In the 45 years I have been playing guitar, I have to say that the Blue Chip TD 40 is the best pick I have ever used. I have played every pick imaginable, and the Blue Chip TD 40 is the winner! Worth every penny! Thank you Blue Chip!

Best pick ever. I play Mandolin and Guitar and everything is true that I’ve read about. Beveled edges, sharp points, non slip, simply doesn’t wear out. I have 5 of them . I use a different thickness on Mandolin than I do on Guitar. Outstanding !!!!

Blue Chip picks are wonderful.
While many people who buy this pick, do so because they play leads and breaks, the pick also is great for rhythm players.

This is my favorite for strumming chords in electric or acoustic guitar. So smooth and yet sticks in my fingers somehow and I never have to reposition it while playing. I have 4 different Bluechip picks for different styles of playing and they are all fantastic. If you are organized and don’t loose your picks you need these. They are a game changer and never wear out.

I’ve been using Bluechip pics exclusively now for nearly 10 years. For me they’re just the greatest pic I’ve ever come across in 50 years of playing guitar. I love the tone that I get using these, the speed with which they glide over the strings and of course they simply last forever!
Thank you Bluechip pics for being the best.

I have wanted a Blue Chip pick for years and finally pulled the trigger ... wish I had gotten one sooner! The pick is soft on the strings with less clicking and a very warm and pleasing tone. I couldn't be happier.

It’s hard to believe that a pic can make as much difference as this one does. It’s just perfect and I don’t know how else to describe it. Once you try one you’re hooked.

This pick gives me better tone, and it feels better and sturdier in my grasp. It's kind of like upgrading your guitar for around 50 bucks. I feel that's well worth the price. This is my second blue chip pick. I decided to buy the second one with the little case so that I could keep it in my guitar case at all times and keep my original one at home. That way I don't have to worry about forgetting my pick when I leave the house.

The TD40 is the best pick I've ever used, and I've tried many: acetate, acrylic, bone, casein, celluloid, Tortex, and Ultex, just to name a few, The TD40's tone is warm and reminiscent of a vintage Fender heavy celluloid without the undue string noise. String attack is firm, quick, and loud, while the pick glides through strings effortlessly. Vespel's density and rigidity make it easy to adjust dynamics without having to "dig in." Note separation and clarity are unparalleled. The beveled edge allows for lightning-fast runs.
Notably -despite Vespel's intrinsic self-lubricating qualities - the TD40 does not slip at ALL during play. The position I hold the pick in when I start a song is where it is when I finish.
I couldn't be happier with BlueChip's service and delivery. At $35, a TD pick is a small price to pay for the ultimate in tone and function. Purchase without hesitation.

The blue Chip pic is absolutely unique. Whatever the material is it feels slightly tacky after you been playing for a while and does not slip or slide around in your fingers. The edges and the pink itself are beautifully machined. The pic actually slides off the strings faster than a normal pic so when you’re playing extra fast, licks and actually improves your speed compared to using other picks. I highly recommend this product.
