Bill Lawrence Review (or at least the fancy web site you're looking at in it's latest version) is now 1 year old!
There have been a lot of improvements over that year, and I'm looking forward to many more!
Cheers,

I've received many emails via the "contact" section of this site asking for advice on pickups for sale on the Internet (ebay mostly), I'd like to invite anyone looking for assistance identifying guitar pickups to post in the "MarketPlace Watch" forum (after siging up of course!). I'll do my best to be quick on these requests!

Well, looks like I've been asleep for awhile! It would appear that Jzchak 'EZ' Wajcman (dba Bill Lawrence Pickups and/or dba Bill Lawrence Products) has withdrawn (t)his legal action against Will Lorenz Stich (aka Bill Lawrence)

Not to diminish the amount of time and effort that has gone into these proceedings, but it looks like now it is open and closed, with #1 being Mr. Wajcman submitting a petition to have Will Lorenz Stich (aka Bill Lawrence) registration of the mark "Bill Lawrence" no 2303676 cancelled.

Now it looks like we are at #65, with Mr. Wajcman withdrawing that petition.

What now? Stay tuned, this has been going on a long time, and I'm betting it's not over yet.

I'm going to be upgrading the Glossary and Compare pages to a sections/categories! Soon to be filled with more information about each entry.

You may notice some pages will be in "point" form, please be patient as I fill in all the gaps!

I'll also have to update links throughout the site pointing to either the Glossary or Compare pages, thanks again for all the help, and patience!

Both billlawrence.com and billlawrenceusa.com now feature disclaimers-
At billlawrence.com "Designer Bill Lawrence is Not Associated with Jzchak Wajcman dba Bill Lawrence Products".
And at billlawrenceusa.com "Jzchak Wajcman DBA Bill Lawrence Products/Bill Lawrence guitar pickups/Bill Lawrence USA is not associated with the designer "Bill Lawrence" since 1984". That is how they appear as of this writing June 29 2007.

This is one small but important step in clearing up any possible confusion for potential and existing customers of "Bill Lawrence" electric guitar pickups. I will be updating some info around the site to convey this new perspective.

From this consumer to both companies, Thank you.

As mentioned in my previous post, the dispute is ongoing still, the USPTO page has been updated with 62nd motion as of 06/08/2007.

With the "Bill Lawrence" trade name/mark dispute heading to the courts(link), with, hopefully, an end in sight, this site may soon become irrelevant.

When(if) this dispute eventually gets resolved, identifying a "Bill Lawrence" pickup will be an easy matter, and this sites content will only apply to "old" or "used" pickups.

My goal is for this site to grow into a reservoir of knowledge about ALL electric guitar pickups, not just the "Bill Lawrence" guitar pickups made by two manufacturers.

I was just looking over my Google Analytics page and noticed that there are a number of people coming here looking for wiring and schematics help/info for their Bill Lawrence Pickups, so, here are some links to sites that I have found helpful:
