I hesitated to buy this product, thought it might be all hype, after 30 years as a session guitarist I've tried them or what I thought was all of them until this.
These picks are a game changer. For the first time, I could actually hear the the real tone of my Martin's, the true sound and character of the instruments. My tone, dexterity and speed improved. Can't and won't use anything else now. BlueChip is a game changer!! Thank you for an amazing product!

The TD50 is resistant to chips and notches from my playing style. It has a pleasant contact noise: not too crisp or trebly and not too dead: not unlike some other brand’s extra heavy picks, but with a nicer feel.
The edge bevel is spot on.
Given how much people spend on amps, cables and guitars, it seems silly not to be choosy about the bit that communicates your intentions to the instrument.
Despite my best efforts, I still can’t play like Julian Lage, so maybe they sold me a dud!

I've currently have a TP50-1R, TP60-1R, and a CT55. I had a TD50 and even though I've always used teardrop shaped picks in the past, for some reason the material Blue Chip uses and the way it interacts with the string makes me prefer the larger size picks and that preference now allows me greater accuracy when alternate picking without posting. I gave all 3 types of picks I have now 5 stars (see those reviews if you're interested) and I only gave the TD50 4 stars, not because I didn't love it, but just because I love the other ones more. Blue Chip has a really great exchange policy but if you are used to teardrop shaped picks you might want to start out with the larger sized ones. There's something about the way the pick interacts with the string that lets you get away with a larger pick that actually (at least for me) INCREASES the subjective feeling of accuracy I get with them.

I've been using these picks since 2016 when my flatpicking guitar teacher Roberto Dalla Vecchia has recommended them, since then I've only used those, I had two, now I'm four and I'm a happy guitarist.

I’m just a regular ole guitar player, and just recently got the TD50 but as soon as I started on my D-60 I could hear the crisp and clean tones that the TD50 was working. Im glad I decided to get it!!

I'm very pleased with feel and tone. I have other blue chip picks, but by far this one is the best.

Until BlueChip picks, I chewed through picks like candy. My only complaint is when you lose one, it's like losing a friend...and once in a great while they vanish into thin air...perhaps they vaporize, or spontaneously combust. Seriously, one I've had for a while fell, and I looked over every square inch of my basement, and can't locate it! Tis is obviously a design flaw...hahahaha!!
They're simply the best.

Don't think I ever realized how much of what I heard actually came from the pick I was using. The TD50 stays out of the way and I feel much closer to the guitar's actual tone. Love this pick whether flat picking or playing rhythm. It's a keeper!

I love all of my BlueChip picks !they have the cleanest attack and are the easiest to hang on to.I have been using BlueChip picks for 9 years and have never wore one out.I love this TD50 because you have the point of the pick and the side of the pick,its like 2 picks in one.

Everything you read here about the tone and feel of these picks is true. The lubricant thing must be too because the pick moves across the strings so well. There is some wear but I'm talking months instead of hours. And the best thing is I have not dropped this pick once during a gig - so secure in the hand.
