Hey guys, today i was talking with my dad, and he told me that he just ordered some Bill Lawrence pickups because they rock, but to be honest i just know the brand by name, any experience with those?

i find this video, they look great!

Well I can't tell you any personal experience, but just from all the reviews and forum posts I've seen they are great pickups. Plus Bill Lawrence himself has been integral in the design of the pickup. So you won't be getting a bad pickup. Are there better pickups out there?At that level I think it just boils down to personal preference.
Daniel Realpe
I like the bite they have, just hearing from the video
Ivan Milenkovic
Yeah, really good attack on the tele, and the tone response is very good too. Not sure about those pups tho..
Gabriel Leopardi
I've never used them but I like the sound from the video!

No experience with those ones in particular mate, but I have used the L-500 which is the blade type humbucker that Nuno uses! They are seriously good, wide ranging humbuckers!! I've installed them in quite a few guitars!
Those ones sound nice though, very crisp response!

nuno has a great tone, i might get my hands in one of those man smile.gif
Ivan Milenkovic
Why not, if they are not so expensive, and are still custom made, you maybe getting yourself a very good deal. It would be interesting to try them no doubt smile.gif
Adrian Figallo
that's right man, going to order one for my flying v smile.gif

They came on my signature guitar, the ESP Cygnus. They sound amazing, have a lot of punch and act like sustainer pickups. My favorite japanese guitarist Leda from a band Deluhi uses it and his vibrato is insane. He uses Bill Lawrence pups in all of his guitars now. Harmonics come out easy and its all in all an awesome pickup.
Adrian Figallo
ahh that's great news for me, i think im going to order the pickups from the nuno's guitar, it sure sounds amazing.

Agreed, the pickup is a great starting point to make good and versitile tone...
Adrian Figallo

I wouldn't concern myself with the issue mate, the pickups are VERY versitile, high freqs are there, for example if u want pinch harmonics, they will eaisly come out, but its not like the freq is too high or 'trebbly'....you can punch in high gain metal, blues and even clean and it all sounds balanced....That's my 2cents anyway....

But Nuno and Dimebagg have been using them for years...

Let me know how they work for you cool.gif
Adrian Figallo
im def going to try them, and i love nuno's tone, so i cant go wrong, just wondering now how to get them here in peru biggrin.gif
