Sorry to hear of his passing. I liked his bars,
especially the 1"x 3-3/4"stainless Sitar bar.

Godspeed Jim Dunlop.

Thank you for the support you mustered for the music industry!

A Scottish engineer, machinist, chemical and mechanical using his talents for musicians, Jim Sr. endeavored to make parts and products that everyday and pro musicians alike could use to further the course of music.

He took over MXR along with picking up the Wah pedal from Vox and Thomas Organ.

And yes Dunlop picks and capos are a mainstay in a muso's arsenal.


Beam me up Scotty!

The guy was a genius. He knew what musicians wanted and he worked and provided it. RIP Mr. Jim.
