Updated July 26 (added notes on trademark)

For the purpose of clarity, I will refer to three different categories of "Bill Lawrence" pickups. You may have already noticed pickups or pickup companies on this site being referred to as one of the following: ...

• Bill Lawrence Pickups (Classic)

  Pickups made at Lawrence Sound Research between 1975(or 76) and 1984 while Bill Lawrence(Willi Lorenz Stich) was in charge of production (if not building them himself).

• Bill Lawrence Products (EZ)

  Pickups made by Jzchak EZ Wajcman after 1984 (or post-Lawrence Sound Research) found at billlawrenceusa.com. These pickups may also be referred to as BLUSA's as in "Bill Lawrence USA".  These pickups are (TM) trademark "Bill Lawrence" electric guitar pickups.

• By Bill Lawrence (WS)

  This label denotes pickups made or designed by Bill Lawrence(Willi Lorenz Stich), after 1984 (or post-Lawrence Sound Research) including pickups from OBL Pickups and/or at wildepickups.com and keystonepickups.com. These pickups may also be referred to as OBL's, Bill and Becky's or BnB's.  (These pickups are NOT (TM) trademark "Bill Lawrence" electric guitar pickups.)
