Loading... Please wait...The TP is our classic triangular pick in a 48/1000 of an inch thickness(1.22mm). The TP is the same size as the TPR, but has slightly sharper corners. 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.

I have strummed my guitar for over 60 years using everything from a plastic bread wrapper closure to my favorite fender pick but after attending a flatpicking clinic and talking to others I decided to give Bluechip a try. No disappointments, in fact I could not believe the change in tone, clarity and just plain fun. I admit that I had no idea what a change a good pick could make.

I have a 1953 Martin D-28 and have been trying to get the best sound possible. Cheaper medium picks sounded decent but just wouldn't bring out the volume. Most thicker picks produced more volume but a more dull sound. With this TP48 I can really dig in and get a rich, fantastic tone with all the volume I could hope for. I love the shape and feel of it. I couldn't be happier.

I purchased this because Billy Strings and Bryan Sutton both use it... I really like this pick.
I was using a Dunlop Primetone Triangle Grip 1.5MM before I got my TP48. The TP48 is a 1.22MM and is not as wide as the Primetone. The surface on the TP48 is smooth, but it does not slide in my fingers or move around while strumming, stays put. The tone is noticeably different from the Primetone. I would say that the TP48 is brighter. My girlfriend says that the TP48 has a "twangier" sound to it.

Blue Chip picks are great. I've never worn out one thee picks. The feel is great--solid, but not bulky. Picking is smooth, with no drag. I tried the TAD40 and 50, but have settled on the slightly smaller TP48, which works well for flat picking and strumming. I started with Fender medium picks and Wegenpicks, but the Blue Chips, and especially the TP48, are a step above. I could not agree LESS with the review that says that Blue Chip is all about marketing!

I think this is the answer for me so I am migrating from about 50 years of teardrop picks, though I've long used a similar style Plec for mandolin. For guitar, even all these years in the smaller pick rotated in my finger no matter how much I tried to adjust the attack. Plus, the grip better than everything I had tried, most of the usual suspects.

You're gonna feel like an idiot for spending all this money on a pick, and once you get it, you're gonna feel like an idiot for not spending the money sooner.
It's great. The material feels perfect in my hands and the tone is honestly incredible. It's genuinely hard to describe to people how much of a difference it makes.

I love this pick. The size and shape fits securely in my fingers and it doesn’t rotate or move around during use. Sound is clean and bright. Although there are much cheaper pics available with similar sound qualities, they move around in my fingers during use, even though they are textured. Yours in not textured, but stays put. Thank you

Pick BlueChip.
You may regret its price, but you will regret its loss even more!
Thank God they sell replacements!!
I recently purchased a new one and BlueChip company sent along an unbidden, free pick case/key chain.
Awesome company!!!

I have two of the TP48 picks. Both the speed bevel and the round bevel versions. They both are great but the speed bevel seems to have more string noise on the wound strings but it does have nice bright tone. I really enjoy the rounded bevel for my attempted bluegrass style playing. I figured since Billy Strings uses them they must be great and my playing has improved over the past few weeks with the pick. Buy one and try not to lose it.

I was skeptical about the price, but now that I have it I'm glad I bought it.
Good sound, good feel. Fast. Makes me feel like a better guitarist.
