OBL Pickups

[wreckingcrew]

Does anyone know anything about OBL pickups? My Charvel Model 3 has 2 OBL single coils, I found out they were Bill Lawrence made/designed but I can't find any that resemble mine. They are single coils with blades that are marked ////////////OBL.



Any info or pics? I'd like to find out exactly what model they are

I've been there, but I can't figure out which model they are

The name "OBL" and some pickup designs were licensed to Gibson, who in turn, manufactured pickups overseas for use in their Epiphone import guitars. Mr Lawrence maintains that these pickups are not of his design and do not meet his quality standards.

Note: These Epiphone made "OBL" pickups often feature an extended "dash" or "//////OBL" logo (pictured right) and do not feature chrome housings while OBL pickups manufactured in West Germany by Bill Lawrence(Willi Lorenz Stich) feature no logo or a very simple three letter "OBL" stamp and commonly feature chrome housings.

I'd say it doesn't matter what model they are
