Guitarists and mandolinists spend time and money on the never-ending quest for the "perfect" pick. Honestly, one size will never fit all; there are many variables such as desired sound, musical style, the instrument itself, etc. BUT... for any of us who have fallen in love with Blue Chip picks (but cringe when we buy them), give this one a try! The material is very similar. I have found the "feel" and the tone achieved with this pick to be VERY similar to my Blue Chip CT 55. At about 10% of the cost. I smile to myself every time I think of that. What do you have to lose???

Sweet pick. Good feel in the hand.

Bit more expensive than the picks I usually buy. Got them thinking they were cheap alternatives to Tone Slab picks that a friend was raving about. Really like them. I've already lost 0ne though, which is a killer.

I have an expensive pick which is apparently used by "CT". It was my go-to for mandolin but I'd been liking the Primetones for guitar and figured I'd try one for a less-expensive alternative on the mandolin. I love these! Though they don't sound exactly like the CT, it's pretty close. Also, even thought the material is "smooth", the material is very easy to grip. In fact, if my fingers get a little sweaty it actually improves the grip. If my fingers are dry and the pick is slipping, I'll just lick 'em a tiny bit. Grip is better than the CT, I'd say and it's also surprisingly better than the Primetone "grip" pick.

For mandolin, better than guitar pick but havent used the typical $35 mandolin pick (for just one). No idea why those are so expensive. Grip is decent on these and nice to have a few in the pack.

I play and teach professionally on electric and acoustic guitars, as well as mandolin. This is one of the finest picks I’ve ever used. I have a Blue Chip pick of the same shape and thickness, and these feel just a touch more organic. If you have tried the Golden Gate picks of this shape as well, it’s comparable, but I would rank them in order from brightness to warmth as: Blue Chip - Dunlop Prime Tone - Golden Gate. All are really top notch picks for any instrument.

These are easy to grip. They slide off the strings smoothly, give nice tone and wear well. I have one that I’ve used for many hours and when it finally became rough, I burnished the edges on new jeans. Longevity….yeah, that too.

Bluegrass player, wanted for backup pick to my regular Blue Chip TP50. Best non premium pick I've used. Comparable to Blue Chip TAD55. I have Prime Tone 1.3's on order, but haven't received them yet. These are reasonably grippy and have good overall tone. Maybe slightly more pick noise than a blue chip but not so you would find annoying, and not noticeable in a bluegrass jam. Have used Ultex picks for years and these are the same material, but importantly have a proper speed bevel.

Love these picks, great for bluegrass style picking and for bringing projection and brightness out of your acoustic. I’ve become so used to them I’ve started using them for electric guitar as well. More than a match for a Bluechip TP, but at a relative fraction of the cost. Well worth the money for a pack of three. Highly recommended!

Based on the research I had done, this pick seemed like a good place to start in my quest for a better guitar pick. I have used flexible nylon picks for at least 20 years, but when I started playing bluegrass everyone recommended I step away from the traditional flexible teardrop and try a "real" bluegrass pick. This pick is not as bright as my nylon picks, but it does seem to move faster over the strings which makes fast playing more accurate and comfortable. This pick has a medium sharpness profile on the tip which gives it some decent attack while also speeding up how fast it crosses the string. Some have a radical rounded edge which makes them faster but sacrifices volume. This one is a nice compromise. I was skeptical before I bought it, but now I think it will really help with fast flat picking. I can not say how it compares with the $35 Blue Chip picks, but I am told they are very similar.

Been looking for a cheaper blue chip alternative. I loved the tone of the semi round prime tones and wanted that in the shape of a blue chip tp-60. Unfortunately the small triangle version of this pick is smaller than the blue chip and this version of the pick is bigger. Looks like I’ll be going with the blue chip. Still, this is a solid pick if you aren’t already stuck on a certain shape/size
