TD60

First, in my experience--and I have tried many, many of the best rated picks out there--BlueChip picks are absolutely unparalleled. I don't need to spend much time reiterating what other reviewers have amply noted. These picks bring out the depth of woody tones of the instrument; they also produce a clean and focused sound--bright but not sharp; they glide smoothly but don't slip; they last virtually forever. So why the rating of 4 stars for this particular pick? I'm a mandolin player, and I have several different kinds of BC picks. I've mostly settled on the TAD-1R 60 as my go-to pick for my modern mandos: five stars doesn't capture how highly I esteem that particular pick. However, I wanted to find a BC that would really do justice to my vintage bowlback mandolins (which use lighter strings and project a different kind of tone). I thought I'd try the TD 60, since it has a slightly narrower tip. It didn't end up producing the sound I was looking for. I ended up settling instead on a Large Jazz pick (which has a much narrower tip)--and that's giving me what I'm looking for. So let me add here another wonderful thing about BlueChip. Their return policy. You can return a pick (non-personalized) within 30 days and get a replacement or a refund. I have twice returned a pick to receive a different pick instead. The service is prompt, no questions asked, really top-notch. I have nothing but praise for this company and its products. I do occasionally use other picks for particular sounds and situations--Wegen, EML, Wolle, Dunlop mostly--but I'm using BlueChips 80% of the time. If premium sound and playability are your goals, these picks are worth every penny.

A top of the line product, well made and durable. Highly recommended!

Perfect sound, warm and with presence, also very comfortable to hold, this is my best pick today

For many years, my go-to guitar pick was the Dunlop Delrin 1.5mm (lavender). A very good mass produced pick. The only issue with that pick is that, even though Delrin is a very tough and both great feeling and sounding pick material, it still wears too quickly for my taste. I decided to try the TD60 with a rounded bevel, as I wanted a pick material that would last through intense practice and playing sessions without becoming notched or "scratchy" sounding. I had previously purchased several Blue Chip picks, but returned them. It had nothing to do with the quality, but rather my own personal taste. I had bought a TD with the speed bevels, which simply did not work for me; as I prefer the rounded bevel. The other was a Jazz pick, which was a bit too small. Regardless, I am very happy with my TD60 because it has proven to be virtually indestructable, feels great in the fingers and while striking the strings, and produces a very pleasant tone. There is virtually no pick noise generated by these picks. I will be buying another shortly. Kudos to Matt and Co. for their game, and industry, changing products. I would advise others to give these picks a chance!

These are machined perfectly. Smoothness and geometry leave the rest to you.

As a guitar player who hasn't been active for a number of years, I purchased the TD 60 pick and I am totally amazed at the quality & smoothness of the design. Very comfortable and makes me want to play more. Thank you for a great product.

I bought one of these picks because I needed something nice for my Martin. This pick make it sound super smooth!

Perfect for any style of playing, but best for flat picking. Smooth as the pick glides over the strings that gets better each day. This pick you don’t lend to anyone. I tell them buy your own.

I get a great warm yet percussive tone out of my pick. Very responsive to how I play. I can use the same pick on multiple instruments both electric and acoustic! Plan to order more soon!
