Well I resurrected this from my stock room,
it was made in 2007, and I put it away and promptly forgot about it..
then during a clean out I spotted it sitting quietly there in the corner..
so I chatted to a mate of mine who has a few of my guitars, and it turns out he had a really old set of Bill Lawrence pickups that he had never tried.
they are pretty old, had a weird 3 wire cable out of them,. they are L500's but not with the suffix.
splittable, but I could not find a wiring schemetic anywhere on the webz, so I got the trusty old multi meter out and figured out what needed to be done.
I must say these 3 wire Lawrences are incredible, so much sparkle, but crank them and they take right off. I reckon from the price tags that were still on the boxes that they would be early 1970's..
they had the original cream pickup rings with them, and industrial strength springs, I couldnt use the rings because they were sized for a TOM style bridge, so I put in shallow black ones, the rings are still in the boxes for
my mate to pick up when he gets the guitar..
So...
a NOS Crossley P series with 70's Bill Lawrence puppies...
