"Blue Chip picks are the great combination of tone and feel that you get with real tortoise shell without wearing down. When playing rythm or blazing a fast solo, they provide great note seperation with optimal sound. I feel limitless with Blue Chip picks!" Andy Leftwich

Love the picks. Great tone, excellent durability and very fast.

--Doyle Lawson

Wow, you hit the nail on the head. The speed is truly remarkable. I'm an old dog but I may have just learned a new trick. There is better living trough Blue Chip Picks. I curse the day I misplace this gem.

Jimmy Olander - Diamond Rio

I can safely say that Mr. Goins makes the most balanced, empowering pick known to me. It almost literally sticks to your fingers...drives through the string consistently on both up and down strokes, and faithfully transmits what you and your mandolin have to offer tonally...Three cheers for BlueChip!

--Chris Thile - Punch Brothers

Your picks are simply amazing. They are extremely durable and fast. I'm so happy to finally get ahold of these wonderful picks. It's my pleasure to use these and I'll be using these as long as you make 'em!!

JD Crowe Picks!

Check out our new pick designed by JD Crowe. This is the pick that JD is using and says "This is a great thumb pick."

After years of testing and development we have introduced the BlueChip Pick, the worlds best pick. If you have been searching for the best guitar pick or the best mandolin pick or now even the best thumb pick, you can stop looking. Find out what all the buzz is about. The greatest players in the world are calling BlueChip Picks the greatest guitar, mandolin, and thumb picks in the world. Many top names have dropped their tortoise picks and picked up a BlueChip. Check out our users page to find some of the players using our picks. You'll also find which of our picks they are using on the product pages in our store.

"Great tone like tortoise shell. Absolutely no wear!" Danny Roberts

Our picks are produced from a very high grade, self lubricating composite material specially formulated for great playing qualities. These one of a kind picks cannot be found anywhere else in the world. The patent pending material has great tone and speed like tortoise with none of the drawbacks. BlueChip Picks are precision machined and never need polishing because they do not flake at the corners like tortoise shell picks do. Their self lubricating properties make them extremely fast. If you have been using tortoise picks to get that special tone and speed, try a BlueChip and you will never go back.

"More durable than anything I've used. It's super easy to hold and gets a great tone. Blue Chip has delivered." Roy Curry

No more searching for the perfect pick. BlueChip Picks are revolutionizing the pick industry. Check out the latest pick review in Vintage Guitar magazine.

"...an important breakthrough in pick technology." Steven Stone, Vintage Guitar Magazine

Because of their excellent playing qualities, BlueChip Picks work equally well with any guitar or mandolin and we have developed four different pick shapes in three different thicknesses to suit any players taste. Use the "shop online" button at the top of this page to view our catalog of pick styles.

Our latest development, the banjo thumb pick is now available. This thumb pick uses the same unique, patent pending material as our popular flat picks paired with a laser cut, stainless steel band. BlueChip thumb picks provide banjo players the same great characteristics that flat pickers have been enjoying and raving about since we created our first one.

Congratulations to BlueChip Pick user Jason Shaw, this year's National Flat Pick guitar champion. He has won the National Flat Pick Guitar Championship three times now. Here is what he had to say about this year's competition. "I used the TPR50 pick this year in the contest and was able to get a really great tone out of my old Martin D-18. I love all the different tonal colors that you can get out of these picks. They are also very easy to bring out a huge range of dynamics! That morning of the contest it was very hot and humid. I had no worries about dropping this pick or having it start to turn, it stuck right in place. To me, these are the best picks in the world!"
