I've only a passing knowledge of Bill Lawrences various companies/pickups but my friend gave me a set of them (at least that's what I figure them to be...) to replace the stock pickups in my 80's Japanese strat.
They look identical pretty much to the l280/290s on Bills site (http://www.billlawrence.com/Pages/Pickup_Window/280.htm) but they've got "Keystone USA" printed on the back of them and the pickups covers have "Wilde" printed in red on the front of them. I don't suppose anyone has an idea of what they are/when about they were made?
As far as I can tell Keystone was one of the names Bill Lawrence sold pickups under after selling out his stake in the original "Bill Lawrence" company, it's just confusing me as I thought "Wilde" was the name of another one of his pickups companies for a time, I found it odd that it had both names on them.
