"Wilde" Bill Lawrence, since passed away, was renowned for his mellow-yet-crystal-clear pickup designs. They used to call him the "Pickup Whisperer" and he taught folks like Seymour Duncan and DiMarzio a lot of what they know about making them. His wife and daughter still run a small business to hand-make them to his designs the Old Skool way (don't be fooled by the Bill Lawrence USA brand, which is a former business partner who basically stole his name) and when you order something it takes weeks to get it. Cheap, too; roughly 25% of what some of the big name boutique brands command.
Here's the Spincaster all loaded up with the new set of Twin Blades:
She sings marvelously, and the success is bittersweet because one of the chief motivations for me designing and building her was to have a single guitar to take to IGC that could cover all the bases I wanted covered.
Next year! :side:
