TAD 60 3R Review
Posted by SMS from Ithaca, NY on 3rd Oct 2014
I play mandocello. I love this pick. It is the right shape and size for semi aggressive picking. It handles tremolo on the mandocello like a dream. It doesn't catch on the string or wear out like cheaper picks will do. I just purchased my back up pick. I'm such a fan. Thanks!

Can't beat 'em
Posted by Pasty White on 19th Mar 2014
Fantastic pick. I prefer a stiff pick and this fits the bill without being too thick. Everything that everyone raves about in terms of tone, speed and grip is spot-on. A much recommended investment. I doubt I'll be losing this anytime soon. I bought a TPR 60 for my electric because I prefer a slightly smaller pick for electric playing. Both are ideal tools for great feel and tone.

For mando or 12 string ??
Posted by Ol' Andy on 9th Jan 2014
I bought a TAD60-3R for use on my F5, but found that it really came into its own on my custom Martin D12-20. However my mando player (an old pal) "stole" it from me to use on his new Weber Fern. Worn down by emails about free shipping - I ordered another - and it surely brings out the best of my 12 string - using EJ37s tuned to D.

I'll never us another pick
Posted by Dan Hardesty on 2nd Jan 2014
I previously used Gilchrist picks for mandolin which were great until they wore down and got rough edges. The TAD60-3R not only plays smoother from the start, it never stops playing smooth. When touring, my Blue Chip pick gets used for hours every day. Not sure how they do it, but it still seems like new. I recently purchased another, since at one gig my pick fell to the floor and I couldn't find it until load out. Now I have a back up!

consistency
Posted by Keith Horton on 8th Nov 2013
I purchased my first blue chip pick last July. I wasn't especially impressed and thought what is the big deal. At the time I was using a Dunlop 2.0 that I liked better. Of course it was what I was used to using. For whatever reason I recently ordered two more TAD60-3R picks. These seem to be thinner than the original pick and play like a dream. There is a difference and now I see what all the excitement is about. I have retired the original to my D-18 Martin and what a differnce in tone. The new picks go with the Randy Wood and I am always getting comments about the tone quality of the combination. At this point I guess I am stuck on Blue Chip.

Worth the price !
Posted by Mike Osgood on 1st Nov 2013
I truly love these picks for my Collings MF5.
When you invest a lot of money into your
instrument, you want the best sound and
playability available. The TAD-3R delivers
that to me ! Also, they don't seem to wear
out! For the tone and volume they produce,
I think they are well worth it !

TAD60-3R
Posted by Brian Buckley on 21st Oct 2013
I was skeptical about paying a lot of money for a pick, but when I started using the TAD60-3R, my mind was changed. It's the only pick I want to use now. It doesn't slip, it makes very little pick noise, and I use it freely between guitar and mandolin. I liked it so much I bought a second one for my gig accessory bag, in case I leave home without one.

Sounds great on a six string
Posted by John Gardinsky on 29th Sep 2013
I originally intended to use this on my mandolin but prefer the sound of it on my guitar. I like the rounded point and lack of bevel. It suits my attack which is flat and parallel to the strings. I'll stick with the TAD60 on mandolin. This is fourth BC pick, they are my favorite!

GET THE ENGRAVING ON THE PICK AND BOX. MAKES A WONDERFUL CONVERSATION STARTER, KEEPS THE PICK HANDY AND IS JUST PLAIN CLASSY.

Best Pick I've Ever Used!
Posted by Adam Buntain on 5th Jan 2013
This TAD60-3R is hands down the best pick I have ever used. I cherish the two I have, with one still unopened as a back up!
I notice that most other reviewers are mandolin players, but I flatpick the guitar. I find that the shape and thickness of these picks suits me best. I've always favored the larger mandolin style picks, personally.
Blue Chips are totally in another league than any other pick out there. These picks move so fluidly across the strings, it's actually quite amazing and must be experienced. No other material feels as nice on the strings. I also like the fact that the pick stays put in my hand, no worries about dropping it. It even feels slightly tacky, or "more grippy," if your hands have perspiration on them, which is nice. Although you should maybe wipe it off with a soft cloth when you're done playing, just to keep it nice.
The most important aspect of the picks is the tone! They bring more of it out of my Martin D-18GE, that's for sure. After extensive A/B-ing with every pick in my house, including some well regarded brands, there's just no contest. Blue Chip wins every single time.
Yes, they are a hefty investment for one or two picks, but if you're a serious player that is serious about tone, you will not regret buying a Blue Chip Pick. After 20 years of making music, I have had a revelation and you will too.
