Thread: Bill Lawrence pickups

Check out the link below, it should answer most of your questions...There are many people who swear by BL's pickups! http://guitarsbyfender.yuku.com/foru...ilde-Gate.html

I have an L-500 in the neck position of my headless. It has a nice sweet sound. I did have to send one back due to a break in the wire, I never got the replacement. About that time my mom passed, so I didn't even think about it till much later.

Anyone tried out the L500 humbucker? I got offered one for a good price, and I want to know how they measure up to a Dimebucker. I cant find any reviews for Bill Lawrence pickups, so I need some opinions here. Thank you for your help

I had the L500XL in my Jackson RR1 (alder/maple/ebony) and it was a bit sterile. I much prefer a JB in it. Depends what you're going for. If you like more of an 'active sound', you'll dig the BL's.

If the L500 is what was sold in the Washburn N2, it's a great humbucker. My N2 is from the early 90s, and it sounds great cranked, with the volume knob backed off, and in split mode. One of my favorite rock humbuckers.
