BLS Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 http://www.billlawrence.com/index.html this is bill himself. Bill Lawrence pickups are definetly my favorite high output passive pickups! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanKirk Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 This is to certify, that the Bill Lawrence SwampKaster guitars are made by Bill Lawrence Guitar Pickup Company California USA owned and operated by EZ Wajcman, the original owner and founder of the Bill Lawrence Guitar pickup Company in 1965. All Pickups are the Original Traditional Bill Lawrence Pickups made in California USA That is a quote from the page at your first link. This is a lie. EZ Wajcman and Bill Lawrence have battled it out in court for sometime for the rights to what Bill Lawrence created. EZ cashes in on Bill's good name. I hear that EZ's knock-offs are crap. Bill Lawrence doesn't distribute through anyone else except through his own web-site. You can contact him to verify this. I personally avoid EZ Wajcman at all costs.

Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 Why woul EZ found a company using someone else's name? Sounds a bit shady on EZ's part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovekraft Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 Van Kirk's being much too kind! <rant>Bill Lawrence AKA Billy Lorenzo AKA WIlli Stich is a musical innovator who is responsible for making some of the best pickups I have ever played. Jzchak Wajcman is an astute businessman who was Bill's financial partner - he's no pickup winder. Read this: A Tale of Two Frogs. Then read this. I don't care how many Buzz Fietens and Nuno Bettencorts Wajcman pays to endorse his products, they aren't Bill Lawrence pickups. </rant> At any rate, this is why there are "Bill Lawrence" pickups out there that suck - Bill didn't make 'em. If you want the real deal, call 'em or email Becky and be prepared to wait a while -they're literally a Mom'n'Pop shop, but they sure wind some sweet pickups.
