Meet The Team
Radioshop Pickups is a small, two man team of lifelong guitar enthusiasts and it just so happens that we’re both called Paul! Here’s a little profile of both of us so you can get to know us a bit better and understand what role each of us plays in getting your pickups perfect for your guitar project.
Paul Dunn
Pickup Maker & Designer
Most likely to be found – at the pickup winder, bobbin making or beavering away making jigs for a future Radioshop solid body guitar
Background – Industrial Chemist, Chemistry teacher turned pickup maker extraordinaire
Guitarist who made Paul pick up the guitar – Steve Jones
Influences – Sex Pistols, Clash, Beatles, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Ry Cooder, The Fall
Dream Guitar – Gibson ES335
Paul Best (Besty)
Pickup Maker & Designer
Most likely to be found – soldering or finishing your pickups, discussing your dream pickups with you on email/Facebook/Instagram or occasionally (as above) stealing a quick go on Dunny’s prized OM
Background – Language Teacher turned pickup maker
Guitarist who made Paul pick up the guitar – Roger McGuinn
Influences – Byrds, Stone Roses, Beach Boys, The Band, Love, Chet Atkins, Clash
Dream Guitar – Too many to mention (serious GAS sufferer), but probably a two tone Original ’56 Strat … or maybe a Gretsch Country Gent
