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

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.

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

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.
