    Old thread for sure, but my question seems relevant enough. First, a short back story: I've used Bill Lawrence pickups off and on since 1979 or so. First the L-500C, then later other iterations like the L-500XL, etc.

    Pulled this one from my 1966 Fender Duosonic in order to do some swapping around. I plan to install a more "vintage" humbucker set into the obviously-modded Duosonic and use this Lawrence in another guitar. First, I'd like to try and identify it. I'm not willing to disassemble it because I simply don't have the chops or the inclination, nor do I want to run the risk of screwing up a killer vintage, ORIGINAL Bill Lawrence piece.

    The DCR is exactly 14.00Kohms and one coil measures 6.97K and the other 7.03K, if that matters.

    Now for a couple of pictures:

    Any idea what I have here? (L500C, L500XL). Would the magnet be ceramic or alnico 5?
