Dan,
These pickups are no longer made by B.L which would probably make the auction price a bit higher than their original cost.
There is a BL 705 on the market(manufactured by others) which can be seen and purchased at Bobbe's shop.

150 pounds would convert to around $300 U.S. dollars currently, I believe.

| Is that Lawrence pickup Bobbe sells made by "Jzchak Wajcman dba “Bill Lawrence USA"? If so, I wouldn't say "The folks making this pickup bought the rights to do so" to be an accurate description of the process. The Lawrence USA bootleg guitar pickups are nasty sounding, but the real Bill Lawrence would rather keep making new & better products than spend all his time in court suing all the people who stole his ideas like Seymour Duncan, George L, Larry DiMarzio, Paul Reed Smith, Stew-Mac and on and on. That one in the UK auction does look real, because of the chrome shielding ring. |

look being the operative word.
How can someone steal Lawrences idea if it was patented. If the winding or design was not patented, then it is a "too bad, so sad" type of deal. |
