Thread: Which Blue Chip most closely resembles a Wegen bluegrass pick?

    Default Which Blue Chip most closely resembles a Wegen bluegrass pick?

    I have been using the Wegen bluegrass picks, but I have been intrigued by the Blue Chips. Given that there are so many shapes and sizes, can anyone tell me which Blue Chip would be closest in size and shape to the Wegen?

    I don't know them by model, but there are pictures on the website, with thickness specs.

    I believe the Wegen Bluegrass pick is more of a standard guitar pick size and shape - as opposed to the large triangle shape that seems to be more common for mandolin. If that's the case, then the Blue Chip TD would probably be the most similar (TD is for "tear drop" shape). I'd probably go for a thickness of 50 or 60 to match the Wegen.

    If the Wegen you're using is the TF 140 (large triangle shape), then the Blue Chip CT-55 is most similar (or a TAD).

    I have a BlueChip TAD-1R 50, and the Wegen TF140. With exception of my 1R corner on the BlueChip, the picks are exactly the same shape. The Wegen seems just slightly thicker.

    The Wegen Bluegrass is a different shape than the TAD. More of a standard guitar teardrop. I believe the OP was asking about that and not the Wegen TF.
