Back in 2013, teachers Paul Best and Paul Dunn ventured into some extracurricular activities and building their own brand of classic Fender and Gibson-style pickups under the name of Radioshop. Ever since then, their firm has gained a solid reputation in the guitar world, with Strat-wielding prodigy and fellow Welshman Chris Buck getting onboard as a signature model artist.
“We’re about eight years in,” says Paul Best, “and we’ve been full-time for about two-and-a-half years now. I was a Welsh teacher and the other Paul [Dunn] was a science teacher.”
Their award-winning range of S-type pickups includes the golden era-style Vintage ’63 and ’57 Specials, Jimi-inspired The Montereys, and progressive ID:63GT and ID:Evolution sets, and Radioshop also offers fully loaded pickguards for Strats – a ready-made all-in-one solution that can transform the look and sound of a guitar with a minimum of fuss.
