@wslx0195 Yes, and? That doesn't change the fact that again, in that disclaimer, it states that he has not worked with the actual Bill Lawrence designer since 1984. If the point is that you are using someone's name as a trademark to sell that person's designs, how at all does a disclaimer for legal purposes change the fact that he hasn't had a new quality pickup while the PERSON Bill Lawrence is making groundbreaking high quality pickups. Disclaimer or otherwise, please just buy from Bill.

Can someone tell me where I can buy his pickups? I'm looking for a nice classic heavy metal tone.

@HoSucWang Incredible pickups at any price bar none.And equally incredibly nice and honest people.In either catagory they just don't come any nicer.PERIOD!!

[wslx0195]

@HoSucWang The disclaimer only says that he is not affiliated with Willie Stitch "Bill Lawrence" for legal purposes.

[wslx0195]

@bubbarcj Then again, I don't actually know the folks so my words are worth a grain of salt. However, there's plenty of evidence circulating the net to show how Willie (or Becky) has been manipulating the public image of BLUSA, his former business, business partner whom he legally agreed to split ends with, and to give up the trade name and current product design.

@bubbarcj Straight shooters? They mislead people into thinking that BLUSA is a 'fake' when in reality, he shorted his own business when he went overseas and sold his OBL brand. He split from the company, and broke all ties including patents and licenses held by the company. His, and Becky's, marketing technique is to spread rumours about his past company to bring in loyal customers. Of course, there's nothing wrong with him bringing in customers, but he and becky lie about the history.

@wslx0195 Who and how did she mislead?? Bill and Becky??They are two of the most honest people around.I've known Bill for over 30 yrs.A straight shooter as is Becky.

[wslx0195]

@HoSucWang well I don't mean it literally. Bill's products are amazing and I won't deny it. He may not be a crook but I just don't like how Becky went out and mislead many people, and he just let it happen.

[HoSucWang]

@wslx0195 I don't know about any of that, and I'll look into it, but it certainly seems unlikely from what I know of Bill. Regardless of any of that, those are Bill and Becky pickups, not BLUSA, and likewise, there's nothing sold on Bill Lawrence USA that could possibly sound as nice as anything that Bill puts outs. Also further with that point, actual pickups from Bill, custom wound to your needed impedances, cost around 50 dollars. If he is a crook, I don't understand his pricing.

[wslx0195]

@HoSucWang You got it all wrong by perspective lol. First of all, the designs were licensed to the company, which was a partnership, giving tied ownership to everything to both men. Willi Stitch (Bill Lawrence) outsourced supplies in Germany, which bankrupted the company, and being a crook, he didn't want to be liable so he split from the company, and therefor forfeit any legal ownerships. Thats how it happened and how the rights ended up in the hands of the guy behind BLUSA.
