Bill Lawrence
Bill Lawrence Website - that's the real Bill Lawrence. The "Swampkaster Guitars" and "Bill Lawrence Pickups" web sites are pushing products that are not made by Bill Lawrence. Bill and Becky Lawrence are friends of mine and they're real nice folks. The imitator's name is Jzchak Wajcman, and I say he's a crook. He is using Bill's name and is trading on Bill's reputation. Read Becky's page about him here.

The fact remains that my friend Bill Lawrence makes great pickups, and that Jzchak Wajcman makes inferior pickups and calls them "Bill Lawrence pickups". Something can be legal and not be right. Something can be legal and be crooked at the same time. Mr. Wajcman is not Bill Lawrence, the innovative electronic engineer. If Wajcman's products were any good, he wouldn't have to use Bill's name as his trademark. The market would flock to his products anyway.
If I started a band called "The Bobby Lee Trio" and then stopped booking gigs after a while, would it be right for the bass player to book gigs as "The Bobby Lee Trio" and play them without me? Even if we were legal partners in the original venture, he would be cheating the public to perform as "The Bobby Lee Trio" without Bobby Lee! I'm sure that many customers would want their money back.
If you want a Bill Lawrence pickup, buy one that's made by Bill Lawrence.
Well EZ, people can buy pickups from you, or they can buy them from Bill. I've stated my opinions and made my recommendation. I have nothing more to say on the matter.
