    Default Blue Chip

    I guess I'm lucky. Back when I got my first Blue Chip CT55 I realized it was the "end all" in terms of pick material. But I also didn't love the point radius, it was a tiny bit too pointed. Fortunately for me Matt at BC was still up for doing custom jobs at that time. I had another plastic pick I really liked the point on so I sent it to BC and they duplicated it, put my name on it and off I went! I had several more made and they all suit me just fine. More recently I tried to have another one made for a dear friend who is crazy about mine and BC wouldn't do it!! I haven't been able to talk with Matt anymore ether which is too bad because we had several great conversations about things far and wide.

    Fortunately, the points are perfect for me. My 80 is a 1R and it's just wasted space. I get it round point down sometimes and can hear it immediately.
