you can reshape them with the stuff you may use on your fingernails.
One of the Blue Chip picks that I tried was a TAD50. Exact size, shape, and thickness as the Planet Waves 346 celluloid picks (same as the Fender 346 Extra Heavy) that I have had for a long time. When I did a eyes-closed comparison between the two, I could hear no difference between them. I ended up selling the BC. Keep in mind that this TAD50 had no bevel, just a rounded edge, so that made it even more similar to the celluloid pick. With a bevel it would sound brighter.
I still have about 25 of the Planet Waves picks left.
