The TPR is our classic TP pick with corners that are slightly round in a 40/1000th of an inch(1.0mm) thickness. Our picks are all precision machined and hand beveled for the highest quality.
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 gone through several variations of BlueChip picks. I have experimented with all shapes, sizes and thicknesses. I definitely have a couple I really like and a decided favorite. Depending on your playing style, desired tension, pick shape and gauge, these folks have something that will work for you. I play with two regional Bluegrass bands and have to create a lot of energy and volume in rehearsals and on stage. These picks get me there along with the tone I have only found in tortoise picks previously.

This is my second pick I've bought. 1 for mandolin and 1 for the guitar. Best picks I've ever bought.

After trying out the Blue Chip TPR 40 guitar pick at the IBMA Convention in Raleigh this past year , I fell in love with them. I have used many different picks in the past, but the TPR 40 is by far the best. It is very forgiving and has a great feel on the strings.

I only use your picks and feel that they are the best you can buy. I have been playing bluegrass since 1969 and your picks are the best I have ever used. I would recommend your picks to anyone in the music business, keep up the great products. And Thank You

I own a few TPR 40 picks (cause I'm worried I might lose one) and splurged this time around and got my initials put on this latest pick. The TPR 40 is the perfect pick for me. I flat pick and I just don't ever have to worry about hanging on to my pick, which would cause tension, when I play. The TPR 40 also gives me the tone I'm after. Thanks Blue Chip! I think its time to order another.........just in case.

Best pics I've used and TPR 40 does bring out the best tone with the most comfortable feel. Just don't lose any.

This is my fifth BC pick, joining a TD40, TP40, TAD1R-40 and TAD1R-50. I love all these picks. They are virtually silent. they are grippy (never drop them). They produce a beautiful tone, much better than most other picks I've used in the past. I use these for my acoustic guitars, but I will be trying them during an electric gig this weekend.

I started playing bluegrass in 1969 so I have used many different brands and types of picks in my lifetime, and by far this is the best feeling and sounding pick I have ever used. I have tried several different BlueChip picks but I keep coming back to the TPR40. It help bring out the quality sound of my old Martin that I like to hear, and feels great when I flat pick or play rythm.
As the President and CEO of the Southeastern Bluegrass Association and a full time player in my group Dan Daniel & Georgia Grass, I would recommend to all players that they should give BlueChip pics a try. Hats off to the folks at BlueChip for a fine product.

Same as all Blue Chip picks - they are the best, but I needed something not on their menu. A light weigh "TPR35". I emailed about the possibility, got an instant response and it was shipped the next morning! As good as it gets...
BTW, I have always lived by the rule, "Never pay more than a dollar for a pick". Oh, well. Now I have 4 Blue Chips.
