I was Surprised
Posted by D.J. on 18th Nov 2025
I play guitar and mandolin and was looking for the best pick, primarily for the mandolin. Started researching online and YouTube. Probably watched forty to fifty videos and focused on the Blue Chip pick, how it was rated against other picks. Most folks were impressed with the Blue Chip and ranked it very favorably. I considered some of the praise as hype and dismissed some of it, however once I received my Blue Chip found the praise to be pretty darn accurate. I have been using the pick only for. Few weeks now, but so far think it is wonderful.

Reworked a 40 to a 35!
Posted by Tom Moses on 12th Nov 2025
The perfect pick for my electric guitars! It comes in at a .88 and I love that shape! Great job guys I even ordered one for a friend and he loves it! I have 3 blue chips now same shape but different thickness for acoustics and electric! I highly recommend Blue Chip Picks?
Cheers, Tim WV

Updated Opinion
Posted by William Woolley on 25th Jun 2025
I wanted to amend my review to give it a 5 star rating. After using it for months, I have to say it is my favorite by far of anything I have used. The size, shape and thickness of the 40 are perfect for me and the surface tack is definitely more than adequate.

why else would i shell out this kinda dough for a pick
Posted by Dan on 24th Jun 2025
Hey all, I am writing this review to say that since buying my first Blue Chip pick ( 11 years ago) I just ordered a new one just in case I loose or break my current BC, but I digress.
we are in Canada and although we don’t buy much from the States these days I had to purchase a new one.
Now sure, $35 is a pricey pick but I don’t care because nothing sounds or feels like a Blue Chip.
After all the shipping and duties I paid just over &74.00.
Now if that it love, I don’t know what is!

Makes me a better player
Posted by scott on 19th May 2025
You know how your always telling yourself if you just had a better guitar or different strings or some gadget you would be a better guitar player? But it never proves to be true? Well this is different. My tone is better- I play cleaner - and feel like I can play faster. This pick feels good and glides over the strings nicer than any other pick I have used.

Best picks ever made
Posted by Phil Hall on 20th Mar 2025
I have a whole collection of BlueChip pics. They're the only ones I use now. Without question they are the greatest asset that any guitar player/mandolin-mandola player-octave mandolin-mandocello/banjo player/bass player could ever ever want. I play all of these instruments and I enjoy using different versions of BlueChip picks for all of them. Very grateful to BlueChip for all of the options and customer service provided. The only thing I would add is how about some other better T-shirts designs and some more hats! ;-)

Good size and shape
Posted by William Woolley on 17th Jan 2025
Good sounding pick. I was hesitant to spend $35 for a pick but I am happy with it. Same size as a 50 year old Ovation pick I like to use. I expected the surface to be tackier. That would be an improvement for me. Anything to improve my grip on it.

Thinner Tad-1R
Posted by Tom Koppin on 10th Jan 2025
I have been using a Tad 50 1-R and a CT 55 for several years. I ordered the Tad 40 1-R to use on a smaller guitar with extra light strings. Mission accomplished! I really appreciate the free engraving, shipping, and pick pouch. I also play tenor banjo and Blue Chips work great there too. Thanks for great products and customer service.

TAD-1R40=Fantastic
Posted by Charlie Milliron on 9th Jan 2025
The TAD-1R40 is a fantastic addition to the pick arsenal!! A distinct difference between the sharp points and the one rounded point! Demonstrating it to some friends and they asked what was different…….they could hear it!! The rounded point “mellowed out” some of the brightness of the sharp points and really does make a difference on multiple guitars I have tried it on.
