Mine, when I use a flat pick, is typically 1.3mm thick.

As an industry courtesy, folks....

TAD-60 stands for .060" thickness. This is almost precisely 1.50 mm.

TP-40 stands for .040" thickness. This is almost precisely 1.0 mm.

The reason Blue Chip uses English rather than metric measurements is because they were in the machine shop business (still are, as far as I know), and that world is still all English in their measurements. I guess they didn't get the memo.

hope this helps,

Which suits me just fine! Some of us elderly folk are quite accustomed to, and comfortable with standard measurements, thank you!

I play picks between 2.5-4mm. The 4s are a little big for me. The best size for me is the 3.5mm Wegen.
