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.

I have been very pleased with the blue chip! I started with the TP 50 and recently purchased the TP 40. Trying to decide which is best for my style of playing although I still use them both. Wouldn’t part with either one. This pick actually forms itself to my thumb and index fingers making it nearly impossible to drop. My ears tell me that the tone is better than any pick I have ever tried! Thanks Matthew!

The TP50 is my favorite pick out there! Great tone and speed. Had mine drilled with holes for extra grip. It’s now the only pick I use.

In the past six months I purchased a slew of new picks to try. I gradually eliminated one after another until I had three different left. I rotated these three with my playing for several months, but I kept coming back to the BlueChip TP50. This pick is perfect for my playing - smooth, fast, and a sure grip that does not require on the fly position adjustments. Perfect for me!

This is my third Blue Chip. I also own a td50 and TAD45. Guitar players talk in great detail about tonewood and strings etc etc and fork out a great deal of cash on guitars and gear. Yet little attention is given to the very thing we flatpickers use to actually use to get our sound. I’ve used many picks over the years And I’m very impressed by the tone and durability of Blue Chip picks. Now that I’m used to them . Nothing else will do.

I love the TP-50. I play a Martin OM-21 and love to flat pick. Definitely worth the $35; I paid an extra $5 to have my wife’s name engraved on the pick and the engraving appears as though it will hold up for a very long time. TP-50 makes for a great when I pick bluegrass and jazz. Overall great pick.

Love this thickness (50 thou) for flat picking and back-up, because it seems to balance volume and control the best of all I've tried. Also, the TP is my favorite shape for control and comfort.

I have and love the Kennny Smith picks . I like the rounded corners of the TPR 60 as opposed to the sharper TP50
Blue Chip picks are the best !

Believe me, I was a skeptic at first. After receiving the TP50, I was hooked. The comfortability and the tone are simply unmatched. The TP50 is a great size and really nice shape. If you're looking for a pick that will really bring out the woody tone and bottom end of your Martin or comparable guitar, this is it. Great for the Bluegrass rhythm guitar player. I now own a TPR50 and TD60, and the JD Crowe model thumb pick for my banjo. If you've spend $2,000 or more on your guitar, what's another 40 bucks?

Great pick, but too thin for me. Lost it 3 days after purchase. Ordered a Red Bear to replace one I lost a few years ago, and will prolly order another Bluechip in a thicker size.
The difference I noticed between this and the Red Bear is the Bluechip bevel is not as severe as on the Red Bear and cuts down on some of the clicky pick-on-string noise that the Red Bear had. Which I like, but don't always want. The BC being a thinner pick where I'm heavy handed on Medium strings and always wanting more bass response just needs to be sized up. If I wanted to hear the strings over the guitar, I'd just buy a cheapo acoustic. Pick thickness plays heavily into this to my ear. Regardless, this is a top quality pick. You CANNOT replicate the Bluechip tone, smoothness, and feel with a quick trip to Guitar Center. I'm hip to the chip!
