Necro thread! Even the OP quit and isn't around here anymore.

I met Bill and talked to him. He is a great and knowledgeable guy, and not deaf...by no means.

The original DiMarzio X2N pickups had samarium cobalt magnets - very strong magnetic pull. They had one sound - loud and angry! It was not a great sound IMO.

I never heard of Bill Lawrence units having samarium cobalt magnets, and never heard a bad sounding Bill Lawrence.
