I make picks too which is why I have come to know Matt. I make them from "organic" materials and PEEK. I have not made PEEK in a while but have a few Teardrops and at least one Tri still around. All...
I have compared a little. I do not currently own any BlueChips anymore. The Miller's are great and have their own feel and sound though close to BCs. I prefer them to BlueChips on Mandolins and...
Some similar but different material picks to try:

Not PEEK... I do love the PEEK picks tho.

Here are all 3 of mine
I do not know the greenish/yellowish material... he’s keeping it a secret. Top secret material. NASA kinda stuff I think. It is different from BlueChips material for sure. I have some ideas since I...
I have no personal or financial interest. Just FYI.
I know Matt through Social Media groups and own/use some of his picks.
Matt Miller is making some wonderful new picks at a great price ($20...
Agreed. I usually ship in a box or wrapped well in a fold piece of thin cardboard/thick paper or lots of paper then taped up. Especially for horn or shell or something I know could be broken in a...
I would go the loop/tie around the heel/under end of fret board route. If the strap you want to use doesn't allow that then there are some good recommendations here.
I have some nice Bone and...
I would say that one is more than likely a Kangaroo braid because you can get it quite thin and strong. Kangaroo is going to be significantly more expensive too.
I make cow, elk, or bison/buffalo...
Yes. Very well could be to look like Bill’s. That was one of my first thoughts. I agree with gouging the name.
That taped on pickup sure completes the Bill Monroe look too tho...
The $144...

Saw this Eastman on eBay... I has some wear... or it is distressed... or it is in distress... :))
It looks pretty rough in its current state. I guess it is...

Also, a refurbished Hiscox Dread case is on ebay for a good price. ...
I have no connection or interest in this item. It is not mine and I do not know the seller.
I don't need a case at the moment so I'll put this here in case someone is looking for one.
Seems an...
I have one and love it for my F style Ratliff. I agree the rectangle ones are slightly bulky compared to others BUT you get great protection and good storage space. They can't really be carried...
I just happened to hop in here. I mentioned Primetones. May or may not be talking about me...
I do like them for general use for guitar and mandolin (the dark red non-transparent ones no bumpy...
I have made some PEEK picks of my own. I still have some material to make more but I just haven't had the time since starting a new job a year ago and having kids... That said I have done my own...
I had one for guitar that I used on my Mandolin too.
They look pretty nice. Looks like they have a "blowout" price on the shaped Dread acoustic case at $75.
Thanks for the head's up.
Wow! YES! Of course
I love my 1998 Ratliff. Great sound and craftsmanship. Only gets better with time and Audey is a great guy. He was great and happy to talk over the phone when I bought mine. Check out his videos on...
Another rubber washer user. It's amazing how great a rubber washer works for a low cost solution. The beer bottle washers, gaskets, some specifically made for guitar strap locks, etc can be found...
I would have to agree with the opinion on PEEK picks. I have not tried the EML picks but do have some PEEK material. I have hand made several PEEK picks and love how they play and sound. In my...
