Product Description
The TP is our classic triangular pick in a 50/1000 of an inch thickness(1.25mm). 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.

Best Pick EVER, and I've tried a LOT!
Posted by Eric Beaty on 13th Jan 2015
Back in February 2014, I attended the SPBGMA conference in Nashville, TN. I met Matthew Goins and told him about my YouTube channel and how popular it has become for Bluegrass pickers. I asked him for a sample BlueChip pick and he handed me the TP50.
After playing with it for nearly a year, I have to say that it is by far the BEST pick I've ever played with! It hardly wears out! And with the TP series, I have 3 picks in one since each corner is a brand new pick!
I've used D'Andrea, Dunlop, Dava, Fender, V-Picks, and even Tortoise Shell picks, and nothing comes close! Now, after receiving a brand new Breedlove Revival DR-Deluxe for Christmas, which pick did I purchase for it? You guessed it: another TP50...with my name engraved!
Thanks to Matthew for being so generous and introducing me to a truly awesome pick that has all the tone, clarity, and speed I need for keeping my sound the way it should be both on my YouTube channel and on the stage!

Expensive, but good!
Posted by DW on 23rd Dec 2014
Great pick, I have been using A TP40 pick for the last year. Great attack, feel and size. I also had a TPR 50, which produces a great tone but not as sharp as the TP shape…so I treated myself with a TP 50, fantastic!
Just don't drop it on a brown carpet!

TP45 pick
Posted by Marty Javors on 9th Sep 2014
I special ordered a TP45 blue chip pick. I find it's a suitable feel for me between the thickness and response of the TP50 and the TP40.

Great Picks
Posted by Craig Young on 11th Jul 2014
The Pick that plays the best, sounds the best. Never slips out of your fingers. Doesn't seem to ear out, like shell.

my favorite pick
Posted by Bill McClellan on 27th May 2014
I've been pickin' a long time. Back in the 60s, it was tortoise shell. Then Fender mediums. I tried this'n'that: Wegen, Red Bear...now it's Blue Chip. The basic triangle in 50 dimension. It's got the beef I need for mandolin & guitar (bluegrass/swing), and the material wears better than tortoise shell.

TP50 BlueChip pick
Posted by Brian Ranger on 3rd Apr 2014
I got this TP50 BlueChip pick to replace my tortoise shell Picks because my supply of tortoise shell Picks is getting low & I feel the need to find something as good as TS but is very hard to find & I tried everything out there.
I've found BlueChip to be the closest yet but I do feel the synthetic in these picks but found as I'm getting used to this pick, in ways it actually sounds better, a little louder/clearer.
One good thing is it doesn't wear very fast & so far I really like it.

Actually better than I could have imagined! Just a pick right? Wrong!
Posted by Marc on 12th Mar 2014
I only recently after 30 yrs. of playing started looking at alternative picks on line after basically defaulting to a fender heavy the last couple of years and stubby's prior. I never realized there was a boutique market out there, spent a couple of weeks reading & watching youtube demos before my purchase so this was not a snap decision and still found it hard to swallow the thought of paying this much for a what? Yeah a PICK! Although no regrets, I pretty much play everyday and gig with my acoustic duo. I was having issues with my pick turning in my fingers while playing, which is annoying as hell...That's not an issue anymore and with the added benefits of no pick noise, much faster feel with no string drag, it's a win win and got more than I bargained for! So at $35.00, what the hell, got my name on it and bought the key pouch so I know where this sucker is at all times! Only been about a month so won't know about wear & tear for a while, but if it's as good as I think, I will soon be getting at least another for a backup, it would be drag to revert back to yuky plastic even for one tune! I'm really enjoying this ride so far!
You should really put thought into which model you buy if your like me where money is a concern. I had not played with this shape before (used tear drop) or a 1.25mm (used 1-2mm) so took a chance but finding it a very good fit for my playing style, both lead and rhythm and play multiple genres. Of couse this is all sooo subjective, but have no reason right now to look else where. Delivery was quick and easy too! Thanks Matthew!

finally!
Posted by Bill McClellan on 11th Mar 2014
I tried the TP40 and loved the material and the shape. Something was missing for my style of playing, some stiffness perhaps. I tried the STP40. Then the TP50. Finally! My right hand (guitar, mandolin) has come together like never before (40 yrs of playing). Closest thing to a tortoise shell feel & tone that I know of, and it wears better. Thank you, Blue Chip!

Blue Chip Picks
Posted by Marty Javors on 23rd Jan 2014
like the picks very much, equally with tortoise shell. there's an interesting and appealing difference in tone and responsiveness among 40, 45, and 50 pick widths.

TP-50 improves tone and picking speed.
Posted by John Lanzillo on 31st Dec 2013
I have been very impressed with the TP-50 pick. Obviously, the price is up there, but I find tone and picking ease is well worth it. It has also surprised me how long it has lasted with limited wear. I am not a professional player, but I play 6-8 hours a week, and the pick is still going after 6 months. I use it mostly on my Martin acoustic, but also on my electrics. I recently purchased 2 more picks to make sure I always have one. Great product.
