Bluechip picks are the best picks on the market. The price might be higher than the rest, but rest assured that they are well worth the price. They even make an amateur sound better, and that is saying something. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a superior pick.

Best pick I have ever used. I love the size and grip for acoustic guitar. I ordered 2 for Xmas presents and decided to order one for myself especially since engraving was free.

This is the best pick I have ever used. I love the size, grip and tone of my new telecaster. Was a bit skeptical given the price but it is well worth the money.

This is a high quality pick. We use it all the time. Wish they made this size in a 20-30.

After reading all the reviews and watching all the videos I finally bit the bullet and purchased the TAD140 AND TAD140-1R BlueChip guitar picks. They were quickly on their way and arrived on the west coast of Canada in about a week. When I first put these picks in my hand I was very impressed. You could instantly tell you were holding something of great quality. You could see the precise edges of the speed bevel and you could feel the quality finishing. I got mine engraved with my name as well and that was cool. I got my acoustic guitar out and played for a while. I couldn't put my guitar down. The picks just became an extension of my hand and the next thing you know I'd been playing for a couple of hours. I have always had a problem holding on to my picks and often drop them. These picks really stick to yor fingers but are not sticky. They sound amazing! It actually brought a tear to my eye. Theses picks are expensive, but worth every penny! These are now my go to picks. I couldn't be happier. The only regret I have is that I should of pulled the trigger on these picks a long time ago. My advice is try them, you will be blown away!!

IMO, there is not a better flat pick out there! The "40" is the ideal pick thickness for me. One rounded corner is perfect for mixing rhythm and lead picking. The pick is good sized--not too small and not too large...even for my small hands.

I tend to like BC 50's for my electric guitars, but I wanted a bit more snap on my acoustics. This one delivers beautifully.. BlueChips are just great.

This puck slides over the strings allowing easy transitions from single strings to double stops and to tremolos! Fits loosely in the hand for greater speed as well!

I know the price a lot for a pick, but after playing it for over a month now it's more than fair. It's a fantastic, honest product. In truth, it's probably less than many players pay for picks in a year. This has got a very round, warm, complex sound, and it pulls off this magic trick where it stick to your hand like glue without being sticky. I liked this pick so much I actually bought a second one (TAD60-1R) for my electrics, where I prefer a little bit thicker pick. This one I use mainly for my acoustics, now, but it's definitely versatile enough to be used to great effect with anything. The edges are a matter of personal preference, but I personally like the one rounded edge for added option if I need/want it. I'll definitely be interested in trying some other shapes later.

Initially it was hard to get my head around the concept of a 40 dollar pick, but I decided to give it a shot. I compared it to picks of various price points and materials (casein, tusq, etc.) including several other "high end" picks. This pick sounded the best on my Santa Cruz acoustic, it brings out more detail, doesn't have that annoying clicky sound, and just brings out the best of the guitar from a tonal standpoint.
