TP40

Alright. Alright. There have been just a few times in my many years of playing that I have had a an Ah! Ha! moment. Probably should be more, ha! When I started playing the TP40 on my Taylor I was just in AWE. I have never picked up a pick and instantly felt my playing go up a level. It is incredibly smooth, sounds amazing and feels like it's just an extension of my hand. Are they pricey? Yep. Are they worth? HELL YA!

I have purchased a few Blue Chip picks through out the years. Not because they ware down, but to try different shapes and sizes. One of the benefits to me is that by using the same pick each time, i am accustomed to it, and they’re is no break in period. They flow over the strings , be it on guitar or mandolin. I can hear the difference, and when i did a blind sound test for family members that ask why i purchase these, they can hear a difference in volume and tone. Eventually i will find the size that is just right for all my instruments, but until then i will enjoy trying the different sizes.

This was a Christmas present for my father who has a YouTube channel. He did a sound comparison between a Martin pick, a Dunlop, and the Bluechip. The bluechip made the others sound muddy coming in crisp and clear. (Hear for yourself: https://youtu.be/8EwAVHSYKsM) These fellas definitely earned a customer for life. You already know you're a Rockstar, showcase your talent with this Bluechip! After all, you gonna put Bridgestone tires on a Lamborghini?!?

Bluechip picks are rated highly for a reason. I know that a lot of bluegrass players use them. I play more jazz/r&b/rock. The way that the pick simply glides so smoothly across the strings is great. Going back to the clicky “plink” and “chirp” sound of other picks is just not an option once you’ve tried a Bluechip. I have tried several sizes/shapes and my fav is the TP40. I have large hands and they are just the right size.

It's smooth, easy to control, responsive and comfortable in my grip. It makes me believe that I can play mandolin better than I actually do.

I have multiple Blue Chip picks and every one of them have the same high quality craftsmanship. I highly recommend Blue Chip picks to anyone who wants a quality pick that will last a very long time.

I have three TP 40s (and a TP 50. Since First acquiring one, I have used no other brand. I keep one in each of my guitar cases. There are look-alikes, but none come close to the smoothness in playing, the feel and grip, and the clean tone. They are expensive. They are worth it.

These picks sound amazing and when I needed to exchange one of mine customer service was great to deal with. That is a big plus for me.

Best pick for electric guitar that I’ve ever tried. Bar none! The feel in my fingers and the smooth connection to the strings is just incredible. I can’t use anything else.

With the speed bevels, these have to be the best picks ever made! I have tried many of the BlueChip shapes and loved most of them, but the TP and STP have risen to the top. I have gotten attached to the thickness of the 40’s and use the TPs for acoustic and the STP for electric. The shape, feel and connection to the strings is simply unparalleled. I can’t imagine using anything else going forward.

I had Matthew make me a TP35 sometime back. Had to designate “TP35” in notes. I think the TP 40 is probably the most versatile of all the models as it seems to bring out better sound on a lot of guitars and I have made a LOT of new BlueChip believers by letting them use mine. The TP35’s I got to use on OM’s and 000 bodies and also let my bandmate try on her Henderson D18………had to get her one so she would give mine back

I have several Blue Chip Picks for different guitars and mandolin. I love them all. The TP 40 is thinner than my others but I wanted to try it on my Custom Shop D-28, which has a tendency to be a little heavy on the low end. Great results! Brightened the tone and increased my flat picking speed. Highly recommended for flatpicking Martin Dreads.
