Product Overview

The TP is our classic triangular pick in a 40/1000 of an inch thickness(1.0mm). 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.

    Perfect pick. Doesn’t slip. Great thickness to allow some base without being too thick. Bevel makes a difference too. Recommend.

    Awesome TP40 Guitar Pick

    Posted by Jerry E. Westaway on 11th Aug 2025

    i am a nobody . Not a pro or even a good amateur but have been play guitars on and off since 1969 . i am a disabled person now and on a fixed income so my days of ever getting a quality guitar are over . i do have a cheap acoustic guitar and 2 cheap electrics . i bought the Blue Chip TP40 for my acoustic . $35.00 is a lot of money in my house on my very low income . But... it was super worth it to get this pick . i really love it and can tell a difference in playing and tone and how the pick attacks the strings , etc.. i hope to some day get another Blue Chip pick and i highly recommend them to anyone wanting to try one .

    TP40 (35)

    Posted by Bill on 11th Aug 2025

    I ordered a TP40 but requested it be a TP35 as advised and liked it so much that I ordered a second as a spare. I've always used a triangle pick the size of a TAD and initially ordered a TAD an a TP to see which I liked best.The TP still gives me the comfort of a triangle pick I've been using for decades but is smaller and actually more comfortable so I returned the TAD and am sticking with the TP.

    The Finest

    Posted by Unknown on 1st Aug 2025

    Been using various BC picks for years. TD35 for electric. TP40 and TP48 for acoustic. They excel in providing a very smooth beveled edge that lasts. The feel is very noticeably different than a typical pick - smoother and “denser” on the strings, giving a thicker and more rounded tone in general. It’s really apparent on acoustic. I also appreciate the subtle grip improvement. I try to always have one with me. And at least one back up in the house. Never had one wear out.

    Pretty good pick

    Posted by Michael on 16th Jul 2025

    I'm not sure if it's intentional or not, but the three corners of the pick I ordered are all slightly different. I like it because I was able to find one I liked the tone of best (slightly less rounded with slightly brighter attack). Only bought it recently so I'm a ways off from testing firsthand the resistance to wear. By math, if it lasts longer than 15 tortex picks then I'll have broken even. If it does indeed maintain consistent shape and attack that long, then it succeeds. And I'm supporting the economic life of my neighbors down in Tennessee. That's always a win.

    as good as advertised

    Posted by Nicholas Chiu on 5th Jul 2025

    $35 for a pick?!…. i finally bought a couple (tp 40 and tp 48)…. after strumming and picking on my acoustics and electric i realized how great these picks work…. excellent balance, feel, and sound (at least to the player, probanly not noticable to listeners)… like anything in life, live within uour means…. if uou have the money, uou should definitely treat yourself with a few different thickness picks…. i hope blue chip will make more picks with the grip…. will keep playing with my 2 blue chip picks for years to see if it really last ‘forever’ without maintenance…. just don’t lose them…

    The ultimate pick

    Posted by John on 26th May 2025

    Some people claim that picks do not make enough difference in tone or for secure grip to warrant a high price tag. I suspect that they have never tried one of these blue chip wonders. It really does feel more secure in my fingers, and the tone is significantly superior to any other pick that I have tried. The TP 40 seems an ideal thickness and texture for fast bluegrass tunes and cross picking, but also excels on slower ballad lines. It is an integral part of the quest for that ultimate acoustic guitar tone that we all seek.

    Love BlueChip picks! They sound great and are so much easier to hold onto than any other pick I’ve used.

    Tone knob in your hand

    Posted by Frank McCreary on 13th May 2025

    Just switched to primarily acoustic after 40 years of mainly electric playing. I like the TP shape and go between the TP 40 and TP 48 from gig to gig. I play Maton guitars and fell like the Blue Chip picks really make a difference.

    Same material that I use in aerospace design

    Posted by rayray on 10th Apr 2025

    I love these picks. When I learned they were made from Vespel, which is the same material I use in turbomachinery threaded locking mechanisms, I bought two of them! Durability, low wear and friction characteristics are the exact same properties I need for both my jet engines and my Martin D18. well done, Ray

    The best Blue Chip Pick for my playing style -TP40

    Posted by Richard Hardy on 2nd Apr 2025

    I own several BlueChip picks in the 40 /guitar and 45 / mandolin thicknesses. The TP40 is the best sounding and most comfortable pick I have purchased from Blue Chip All of the other Blue Chip picks I own are used regularly but the TP40 has the most pleasing sound of them all The customer service and rapid shipping are a plus also.

    Well worth the investment

    Posted by Unknown on 13th Mar 2025

    I had heard a lot of good things about this pick but was unsure if it would be worth it for the price. For me it has been well worth it. It stays in your hand great, doesn’t make a lot of clicking on the strings and picks very smoothly. I used to have a couple favorite picks that I would go between but now I only use the TP40 when I play if I can help it.
