Blue Chip Pick

You can’t go wrong with blue chip pick. @Flatpickin_Libby and @Michael_Mark can attest that!

And if you clean it with soap and water, it regains the slightly tacky feel it had when new.

If you are into that sort of thing.

Are you referring to the tacky feel or the soap & water?

I wish they came in other colors besides “can’t find me” brown

I’ve now had about 12 Cabin Camps at my house…SO many Bluechips lost in my backyard. I was walking the other day and happened to look down and find a flatpick in the midst of the leaves. Crazy find! I picked it up and barely put any pressure on it and it snapped in half. I guess they don’t hold up to the elements too well.

Is that advertised in the house listing? “Blue Chips hidden in the grass.” You might be surprised at all the offers all of a sudden…

I always get the heat when I even hint at shopping from some other place than the General Store. :unamused:

I’ve honestly been kinda tempted to try one of the Kenny Smith picks. I’d feel weird with so many BCs though, because I have some TADs I bought years ago but don’t use anymore- I think my picking tendencies have shifted a bit since then and I really don’t like the large triangles anymore. So if anybody wants a TAD40 or TAD50 at negotiable prices with my name on the back, hit me up :joy::joy:

The non engraved ones sell for nearly what you paid. I’ve sold several as I buy new ones.

Hey, if I ever get one I need you to scratch “Banjo Ben was here” into it. Would make it quite a bit more valuable. :joy:

I’ve got a Kenny Smith 50 I’d trade you for the TAD 50. The KS is way too small for me.
