The TP-1R is our classic triangular pick in a 50/1000 of an inch thickness(1.25mm) with ONE ROUNDED CORNER. All of our picks are professionally machined, hand beveled, and laser etched.

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.

For a dry skin, especially winter, most of plastic picks are hopelessly slippery. I've tried drilling holes, band-aid, chewing gum but some measures didn't work and others were too ridiculous. Tortoise shell is the best material but not available anymore. BlueChip has a good stable grip and smooth picking on the strings.

Love this pick for acoustic playing, whether it be folksy sturmming, flatpicking runs, hybrid picking, or anything else.
For me, pick grips well right away with barely any "warming up," provided my hands are clean. The material feels very "high end" and extremely durable, definitely different than celluloid or delrin/Tortex, and slides of the strings effortlessly. As whole, my picking hand is a lot more relaxed and fluid when using the Blue Chip.
But most importantly, it really does sound good! The strings have a warm, percussive attack that I dig, but without any annoying "clicks" or "chirps." Definitely my favorite pick for acoustic playing, and I'm looking forward to getting a couple of different shapes/thicknesses and seeing how they fare for my electric playing.

The first thing I noticed is that the sound was clear and direct, I play mostly jazz and the rounded edge is great for rhythm playing, and for improvisation I can play fast clear lines. Best pick I have ever played.

I have settled into using this pick for both guitar and mandolin.
Fantastic pick!

I've only had this pick for about a week and I can definitely say it's helps me get the best tone out of each of my guitars. It took a few minutes to get used to the shape, but now my other picks don't feel right and sound dully in comparison. Needless to say, I'll be buying another one...or three.

It's difficult to describe, but it's different from any other pick I tried. It's smooth on the strings, but it has a good grip. The sound is full and deep.

Well, this is actually a TP50-1R, ordered in a tad thicker 55 gauge. I love the standard round bevel and the way this pick slides off of the strings. It's fast, clean, and it allows the richness, depth, and shimmer of my Randy Lucas BRW/Adirondack Red spruce guitar to really be heard. The one rounded edge is great for when I want a fatter tone. I really like the way all my Blue Chip picks are easy to hold on to with a lose grip. For me, it is the perfect guitar pick.

I use the TP-1R50 to play Gypsy Jazz on a Gitane DG-255 model guitar. I like the rounded edge to get the "sound" that this genre requires, but the regular points can be used for bluegrass or other types of picking as well, so it's very versatile. I will always use BlueChip picks! They stay comfortably in my hand and move smoothly. No other pick I've tried has been as easy to use. A great piece of equipment!

Great pick. Glides through the strings better than previous picks. I cannot tell much difference in the way it grips compared to other picks.
