The TP is our classic triangular pick in a 40/1000 of an inch thickness(1.0mm). The TP is the same size as the TPR, but has slightly sharper corners. All of our picks are professionally machined, hand beveled, and laser etched.
Quarters, Nickels and Dimes, if included in the pictures, are for size reference only. They are not etched on the picks or included with the sale. To use this reference, please place a coin on your current non-Bluechip pick and then compare to the pictures of our picks with coins on top of them. This will help you choose the pick that is closest to your current favorite size and shape.

I am relatively new to BlueChip picks. Until about 6 months ago I was strictly used Fender picks, and would have never considered paying $35 for a pick. Well, a few months ago my local music store started carrying Gravity Picks. I tried a couple out and thought they were an improvement over what I was using, especially being able to keep them in place, but didn't like the tone vs. pick noise for playing acoustic. Even with that I bought a couple of the Gravity Gold picks. Even though a I liked the improvement I wasn't satisfied and did some research which lead me to BlueChip. I took a chance and bought one and absolutely feel in love with them. The tone is amazing, very clear, balanced, with extremely low pick noise. The BlueChip gives me a better & clearer tonal range, I can play very soft and still have note clarity, or dig in to get increased volume but still have the clarity. These picks have actually given more dimension to my playing & tone. Also the grip is the best so far. I did a number of comparison recordings between the Gravity Gold and the TP40, and there was really no comparison, The gravity Gold was darker, with more pick noise and didn't stay in place near as well. I have extremely dry skin and keeping the pick in place has always been a problem. The TP40 is my go-to pick, it's great for everything from strumming to single note lead lines, and it stays in place!!!

I have Many Blue Chip Flat Picks , each one has a different function , if I play Mandolin I use a TP-1R 50 or a CT-55 , On my Guitars I use the STP 40 and STP 50 , I also use a TP -1 50 and now I just Purchased two great TP 40's . What is different is these 2 Picks are Engraved with my Name and all the others I have are not. This is because BlueChip Picks can last for many years and seemingly will never wear out , I love the way they feel in my Right Hand and they fact they are practically devoid of side noise or Pick Click and most importantly that they self Lubricate during use . The right Hand Speed bevel is technology that is revolutionary in controlling the pick. Overall You won't find a better Pick anywhere else except at BlueChip .Picks , Every Pick they make is a Great Pick to Own for your Instrument !

I love these picks. I like holding the material of the pick and the TP size is great for me. I play tenor banjo and don't want too much brightness since the banjo is bright an loud already. The shape of the TP is perfect for me without a speed bevel. Just the right tone. I actually asked for a 35 thickness instead of 40, and that was no problem at all for them to produce. Great service! I bought two of these and I think they will last a very long time, but whenever I do need to replace them, I'll definitely be ordering the exact same picks again.

I found the tone of the TP40 to be thin to be honest. I love the way it doesn't get caught up in the strings - it really helps out with the fast picking. However, it is probably too thin to provide the meaty, rich sound I'm used to with the thicker Dunlop Tortex picks I use. Great for fast picking, but doesn't deliver a rich, full tone.

I like this pick for staying put in your fingers and the sound from my guitar, however, it does not fit well between my fingers. I need a pick that is a little shorter from point to top. I have trouble determining which pick would solve this problem. Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks

Ordered my first BlueChip TAD-40 a couple of months ago and it is quite astounding in the vibrant tone that my Martin D35 now makes. It is almost effortless picking now and the TP-40 is great for the softer style of country and bluegrass picking I play. HANDS DOWN,,, the best sounding pick I've ever owned (and I have about 200). It is more expensive than any other pick I own... but smoother across the strings and better sounding too. I keep these picks on my person at all times, so they're available whenever I need them.

Like most guitarists, I've tried just about every pick in existence, all in the never-ending quest to find the perfect one -- you know, the one that delivers ballsy tone and great hand-feel. The Blue Chip pick comes close, delivering superbly meaty tone while gliding across the strings. But it's that latter attribute that also delivers the only negative I can say about this pick: it feels slippery between the fingers. Of course, other reviewers haven't mentioned this, so I've come to the conclusion that it's my light grip on the pick that's contributing to this issue -- but it's an issue I don't have with some other brands of picks.

I have never used another pick like this one. It practically sticks itself to your right hand. Makes my mandolin sing and even if I hit the strings flat on there is hardly any pick noise. And tremolo is a breeze!

Pick slides quickly and cleanly. Ordering and delivery of product was superb. This will be my preferred pick in the future.

I ordered the TP series of picks in a custom thickness making it a TP35. This is the perfect strumming pick for me. It sits great between my fingers and does not slip at all. Until I tried Blue Chip Picks I was primarily a finger style guitarist. I had tried tons of different picks from other manufacturers and they all slipped out of my fingers and produced an unpleasant clicking noise and either compressed the sound of my guitar too much or made it sound too bright. I was so displeased with picks from other manufacturers that I almost gave up on playing with a pick altogether. I am so glad that I found Blue Chip picks, now I can enjoy playing with a pick. I also find that the shape and material of the pick helps me play better, as I glance off the strings at a better angle and do not catch them as harshly on an upstroke. I am very pleased with my Blue Chip TP35 pick. It produces a wonderful clean, defined sound and makes virtually no clicking noise unlike every other pick that I have tried. I also have a TD35 pick that I like to use when I am alternate picking as it 's shape is great for accuracy. From now on I will use Blue Chip Picks exclusively. They are worth every bit of what they cost and are a great investment as the sound they produce is beyond compare and they are the only picks I have ever used that do not slip out of my fingers. I also gave my guitar teacher a TD35 as a gift and it is now his treasured pick, he won't play with anything but it now!
