In 2005, we entered the string business. But we didn’t just want to sell strings—we set out to build a string company, and it was the best move we ever made. It allowed us to be closer and even more connected to the player and their whole musical experience. Dunlop’s commitment to quality is present in every aspect of our manufacturing process. Our string facility follows strict inspection, storage and handling regulations to guarantee that our raw materials are in ideal conditions at every step of the process. All of these measures ensure that, when a player opens up a set of Dunlop Strings, they are as fresh as the day they were made. All Dunlop strings are balanced string to string, set to set. Located in Benicia, California, Dunlop Manufacturing, Inc. was founded as a small, family-owned and operated company in 1965, and has since grown to be a leading manufacturer of electronic effects, picks, capos, slides, strings and other musical instrument accessories. Dunlop is the home of such legendary products as the Cry Baby Wah, MXR effects, Tortex picks, and many more.
