axo151 Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...mMakeTrack=true I can't tell if that's one of those stewmac knockoffs or the real thing.......the seller was very sparse in information given, he didn't even say if it was for the neck or bridge, let alone output etc. Anyway, can anyone tell? Furthermore, has anyone had experience with those pickups? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammy Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 I must say it looks very similar to the real Lawrences I have in my eggle, the metal blades look thicker than on mine, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axo151 Posted December 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 do you like your pickup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Librero Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 No, that's a 'fake.' That's a Bill Lawrence USA pickup (Wajcman). There's a huge difference, or so I hear. You can only buy authentic new Bill Lawrence pickups direct from the Lawrences (http://www.billlawrence.com). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowser Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 and the ones on his site aren't really that expensive anyways, brand new and not much more than the ebay ones were going for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanKirk Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 I agree, that's a fake not a real Bill Lawrence pup. I would buy it directly from Bill's site if you're looking for his tone. I've read many reviews of dissappointed people who bought a fake thinking it was the real Bill Lawrence pup. I'd stay away from that one, personally.

axo151 Posted December 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 yeah i hear his pickups take 3-4 months to ship though.......i just need a good humbucker for the bridge, and don't feel like waiting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Librero Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 well, if you want to go ahead with the ebay auction, we can't stop you. personally, i'd just go look for a used DiMarzio or something. then order a real BL pickup afterwards.

bowser Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 it says that they take about 3-4 weeks on his site. It was actually a message from late august, talking about moving to California. I guess they had some problems and when they finally got to filling orders the wait was like 6 or 8 weeks, but they said it should be back to their normal 3-4 by sometime in the fall. Since it's mid December now, I figure that it's 3-4 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclej Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 i did a custom job for a studio musician from houston last year and we put in three real bill lawrence pups. several things of note: my customer called bill's factory and got bill himself. he (bill) literally spent over an hour and a half on the phone with my customer discussing exactly what he wanted his guitar to do and what sounds he wanted. even made him play a bit for him over the phone to hear his style. he made his recommendations and got the pups to me in around 3 to 3 1/2 weeks. they were beautifully crafted and sounded great. and bowser's right. they were around $45.00 each. and that's not wholesale. as far as i can tell he charges everyone the same. here's a picture of the guitar if you'd like to look at the pups. http://www.villagephotos.com/pubbrowse.asp?folder_id=1141114 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
