TP48

Like many folk-bluegrass guitarists I always look for the best picks. Will any magically allow me to play faster and more accurately. Blue Chip is the brand that always comes up as the best. And it does help to learn that Billy Strings uses them, even if none of us come within a mile of his level of playing. But frankly, he sold it for me. So, I got one. Over $40: is it worth it? Well it does feel great in the hand: just the right flexing and size. Plays well, and moves over the steel strings of my Collings OM3 just right. But it is not discernably different from others I have, especially the Clayton 1.26 mm, and the Golden Gate X Stiff, which needs slightly more pressure. And when you order these you get 12 in a pack for ca 10-15 bucks. Blue Chip is on the large size and the smaller ProPlec 1.5 mm might make smaller fingers happier. But still the Blue Chip is reall good. So at least you are not losing out on getting one: it feels great, is the right size (for my medium hand) and compares favorably with the others. Maybe even a smidge better but not by much. Buy one and make sure you don't misplace it (unless you don't worry about money).

I've been using Blue Chip TAD picks but wanted to try something smaller. Bryan Sutton uses the TP48 pick, so I decided to give it a try. The TP48 is a great all-around pick, try it if you want something smaller than the TAD.

It's like it's glued to my fingers, doesn't slip around in my grip, great help while cross picking and don't think I've ever dropped one.

I’ve been playing about 15 years as a homeboy and tried many different picks. I am newish to bluegrass so that’s when this brand got on my radar. This is my second Bluechip and I believe I’ve found what suits me best at the moment. The size, shape and thickness all seem to be just about perfect for me and my application (bluegrass/rock). This pick has definitely help me increase my speed as well as sounds fantastic. For my latest order they also included a really cool leather pick holder with their logo embossed in gold on one side. Very cool! Highly recommend

Have been using a BlueChip CT-55 for years and wanted something a little different. The TP-48 is what I was looking for! It's great--not as heavy as the CT-55, but still enough to get a good sound out of my F-5 mandolin.

Free engraving on an already great pick, what's not to love?! Thank you!!

Been playing BC picks for several years - TAD50LH and tried the TP48LH this time. All the hotshot players made me interested but sticking with the TAD - I grip it better and that lets me loosen my grip and rock it between thumb and first finger. Played real T shell picks for many years but stopped by the BC booth at GreyFox several years ago and haven’t looked back - good grip, great tone and fast.

I’ve been playing guitar for nearly my whole life since I started playing as a kid and I have tried all sorts of picks over the years in search for the right feel and string attack. Also as a professional musician myself, I was in search for that right pick that would deliver hour after hour and night after night…Admittedly, a Billy Strings fan I discovered what type of pick he used and found that it was this BlueChip TP48, so I decided to give it a shot for myself and it literally was everything I was looking for in a pick. This is my main go to pick now and I will definitely be coming back for more in the future! Thanks BlueChip for making such a top notch product!

Fell in love with these picks! Really love the balanced feel and tone!
