I first heard of him when he came out with an innovative capo. I use his picks (.88 nylon) every day. R.I.P.

Sad news. Used his capos back in the day. I’ve used his Tortex picks on electric guitar ever since they came out.

RIP Mr Jim Dunlop
 
I saw that he passed away today. :(

For years the only pick I really used was a JD 60mm Nylon.

Jim, thanks for making my guitar sing.

Well done, Sir!

I've used nothing but Jim Dunlop USA Nylon .88s for years and years. The man impacted my life every day. RIP, JD.

The Jazz III is genius.

Rest in Peace Jim Dulop, I've used your products it seems like forever !!! I have a chrome finished capo I've used for at least 20 years, and it still works great !!! A real innovator, you will be missed !!!

Those USA Nylons are great picks! Very destinctive and often emulated.
Jim’s company produced some outstanding products.
Thanks JD.

If the product had Dunlop on it...I trusted it.

Well said and so true. I have three Dunlop picks in my wallet........just in case an opportunity to play guitar arises.

I used to use Jim Dunlop resonator and mandolin strings - ust felt they were slightly higher tension than D'addario and the dobro strings had an .018" top, Seems they aren't available any more - or at least, in the UK.
