TP48

I will support ANY small business. I bought this pick after seeing Billy Strings played one and they were reviewed with praises on YouTube. Its an expensive pick. But it is made by a small business and it is VERY high quality. Its different than a normal pick and takes some getting used to. Is it worth the money? Supporting a small company that has an owner is always worth it. Is the pick itself? I am not that fussy so I guess it hasnt made a noticeable difference for me.

I was skeptical that this pick would make a noticeable different in my playing, but in the few weeks I've had it, I've noticed an improvement in the accuracy and speed of my flatpicking. I recommend that other players make the investment.

Awesome Pick!

Have been a Blue Chip addict since their inception. Nothing like it!! If you can not hear or feel the difference that's on you! I love the TP48RB. For my banjo the thumb pick is wonderful and you can not wear it out.

After years of resisting paying for a blue chip pick, when purchased I found it is worth the expense. It feels great, giving me improved accuracy speed and sound quality, especially in flat picking and cross picking.

I ordered the TP 48 because I read that Bryan Sutton used one. I previously ordered a TD 45 and a TAD 50 for me and a TD 40 for my son. I am trying to learn bluegrass flatpicking and find these the best for tone, clarity, and speed. I have increased all 3 at least 30 bpm(bluegrass) since I bought over the last several months. I highly recommend the brand. I was initially wary of the claims but after buying and using one I became a follower. I am going to buy a TAD 60 at some point. I had to get use to the thickness…was using .88 picks before. Amazing transition. Sorry for the ramble. Buy 1,2 or 3!

First, I did not get paid for this review and given the incredible quality, I am delighted to share my experience. Second, I am studied classical guitar playing finger style etc so I truly know what a decent tone sounds like. Third, I have played many picks over the years. Didn't even know that BC exists until I bought a guitar and the shop owner handed me over his pick as I didn't have one ... and it was a BC. Without know what I had I played an incredible instrument, but funnily it was not the guitar which caught my attention, it was the pick. I couldn't believe that a pick plays like that and creates a tone only finger can do. Fourth, meanwhile I have a couple and each and every pick is outstanding. Fifth and finally on price, should they been cheaper. I love to spend less, but I do understand the price. I don't see value in criticism related to a price when it is still affordable while providing me with an experience I simple never had before. So net net, a truly beautiful pick it didn't know it exists. The closest to ones own fingernails (assuming style and polished like a classic player would do). No noise or scratch, just pure tone - in my honest opining, the best I have every played. And yes, the Santa Cruz Tony Rice turned out to be a great guitar as well ;-)

Took a little getting used smaller size, having used CT55 and TAD previously. Tone is more bright and snappy compared to thicker pick, which is a nice change from CT55 and TAD50.

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.
