This is the TAD-1R pick in 50/1000th of an inch(1.25mm) thickness. It is identical to the TAD, but HAS ONE ROUNDED CORNER. 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.

Worth every penny, but I can’t say this will be my go-to guitar pick. The reason for this is no fault of the pick, it’s that I have small hands, and this pick feels cumbersome at times playing guitar, as I can’t easily tuck a pick of this size when switching between playing fingers and pick. The one rounded corner would be more convenient on a smaller pick for me. Great mandolin pick though. The bevels are perfect and wicked smooth, enabling fast alternate picking and arpeggios.

I was skeptical, but I can't put it down. When I don't have my pick and have to use some old nylon pick that's handy, I feel and hear the difference. Definitely worth the plunge

Broke my piggy bank and took the plunge. Never spent this much money on a guitar pick before. Got to say so far pleased with the tone. Think it’ll take some time for my ear to adjust, then I’ll compare with my other fav picks. Kinda wish I’d paid extra to personalize it, hate to lose it.

Solid full sound for my rhythm with bright crisp tones for leads. RHSB. Solid pick with little to no flex.

Trie a TAD401R and liked it so am trying a TAD50 1 R finding it a bit heavy for my playing so will stick to the 40 but love blue chip picks

The staff of Blue Chip was flexible and helpful in resolving an issue that was not of their making. The Blue Chip pick is the best product of its kind in my opinion. Everything about the order worked smoothly.

I love Blue Chip picks. They keep their edge for a long time, and they are a pleasure to play with. I drilled several holes in mine to improve the grip.

I’ve been using Blue Chip picks for over five years now.
I use a TAD 50 with my guitar that has light strings, a TAD 60 with guitar strung up with mediums.
Couldn’t imagine using anything else.
Great feel, great tone…love these picks!

Have played since I was in high school. I love the BlueChip pick. Not sure what it is but is certainly plays cleaner and faster than any other pick I’ve ever owned. It feels like it makes me a better player though maybe it’s just that I had high expectations for BlueChip. Wish Blue Chip had been around when I first started playing, but better late than never.
