Blue chip picks

[Franc Homier Lieu]

I love my TAD 40 and 45, I’m seeking a TAD 35, i think it might be my holy grail!

Yeah, I was thinking it is interesting that only BC that is thinner than a 40 is the TD 35. I bet they would do a custom TAD 35 for you.

The 35 is only custom.

Just got my TAD 40 in the mail. I think I had one of these years ago and did not like how bright the sound was, but I am loving it now as a complement to my CT 55 and my TAD 60 with no bevel.

I also have to point out that their mech is awesome. I ordered a t-shirt and a hat with my pick to replace the ones I bought a few years ago. I wore the hat to pieces but the t-shirt is still going, so now I have a black tee and an orange tee. Got a black hat to replace my old brown one. Still nothing blue about the chips, the pick boxes (love those), the hats, or the tees!

I think I may be able to shed some light. I met a picker at a festival just after he'd dropped his BC pick. As he scanned and probed the ground all around him he did have a certain je ne sais quois about him.
The pick was gone and he was definitely blue without it.

Looks interesting -by what I read and see on the site, at least. Have you compared them to BC?

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 certain guitars I own. For some reason the Miller pick is great on my Mahogany D18 guitar but I prefer others on my Rosewood HD28V... I make picks from "organic" materials and other high grade Thermoplastics as well. I do not know for sure the material these are made from although I am quite familiar with plastics. I have talked with Matt and he won't say what it is but it is a very High grade/Aerospace use material. We have shared info and techniques but not the material he is using for the Greenish/Yellowish picks. We do use the same material for the Gray/off White color picks.
They are definitely worth a try and for a better price than BCs.
