Gibson87 Posted February 8, 2019 Posted February 8, 2019 Jim Dunlop has passed away. I think every single one of us guitar players have used one of his products at some point in our lives. RIP http://ultimateclassicrock.com/jim-dunlop-dies/ Quote
rocknroll41 Posted February 8, 2019 Posted February 8, 2019 Wow that story about how he rigged the system to cross the canadian border is pretty cool! Never knew that about him. RIP. Quote

Never knew that about him. RIP. Yeah, didn't know that either. Interesting story. I like my CryBaby Classic a lot and I pretty much exclusively use Dunlop gel picks. Looks like he lived a long, rewarding life. 1 Quote
soon Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 (edited) Great picks indeed. "Dunlop was born Glasgow, then relocated to Canada as an adult. A chance correspondence from a friend inspired his move to the U.S. “I got a postcard from a friend of mine,” the entrepreneur remembered. “It had a picture of a bikini-clad lady and said it was 90 degrees in Muscle Beach. It was 12 degrees below in Ottawa. I decided I’m getting the hell out of here." I can relate to this impulse, here in Ottawa where its -18c with windchill as I type! But I must say, the women here fill out a snow suit in all the right ways! RIP Edited February 10, 2019 by soon Quote
SoundOfAGun Posted February 11, 2019 Posted February 11, 2019 .73 Dunlop nylon grips are the only picks for me. Sad times. Quote
