[@assnut1000]

i love how you find guitars that look like trash and you put in the time and effort to bring them back to life and be enjoyed again

[@Sungodv]

Bill Lawrence made really great and affordable stuff for working musicians back in the 70s & 80s, but never knew he made a complete guitar

[@panzerlieb]

This was Bill’s first foray into guitar production. He had collaborated with some companies in the past to make guitars (Framus being one that comes to mind). This venture eventually failed but he would return to guitar manufacturing under the Wilde brand name.

[@malcolmmacmillanmacmillan2050]

I like the channel very much. It's very satisfying to watch you working on the guitars 🎸. I have one question that is intriguing me : where do you find all these guitars that are always covered in stickers and writings and strange paint job...??? Because it's repeating itself a lot in your videos. I'm not accusing you of anything- I'd love to know the answer. Thank you in advance.

Always a treat when you post a new video. You do excellent work, thank you for sharing it with us!

[@jasonmyers3847]

I knew Bill Lawrence was known for his amazing sounding pickups. I didn't know he built guitars too. Very nice, good Sir!

[@markjamesmeli2520]

It was news to me as well. Great job on the overhaul. Going through the BLs online, the "average" price of his guitars rounds out to $850.00. Not bad at all. Great video.

[@michaellandreth1392]

My understanding is that he Did Not. But was unable to have his name taken off these Guitars.

[@ianestevens7888]

This was bot the same Bill Lawrence of pickup fame.

[@joeabadier]

That was: when a cheap guitar meets a dirty, irresponsible owner. Nice work rescuing the guitar!

[@LothyBluesCave]

Nice work! It's a pleasure to see someone refurbish an old guitar to the best it can get in all these relic lunatics happens today.

[@mikethespike7579]

Some guitars get so much history on them that they simply need a bit of a clean up. Nice work. The typical used marks that give the instrument its character are all still there.

[@hijmestoffels5171]

[@pecatshu9357]

I must admit, I preferred the style of the old, scuffed guitar. Although I understand that this is a restoration, it's a bit of a shame to see a guitar that has been through so much lose all the marks of time and use. There's a certain charm and character that comes with wear and tear, and it's part of what makes each instrument unique and special. Nevertheless, the craftsmanship in this restoration is impressive, and it's great to see this guitar brought back to life!

[@TheLowest]

I'm always that way with these vids. I'll prefer a played in looking guitar over a brand new looking guitar any day.

[@markjamesmeli2520]

[@jasonmyers3847]

[@SlCKB0Y-sb1kg]

Except he kept the normal wear and tear. Even when finished the guitar clearly has scratches, scuffs and dings on it. He just removed all the juvenile crap the last owner put all over it, gave it a good clean and removed some corrosion from the metal parts. He reused every part. It’s the definition of a “sympathetic” restoration.

[@hpblack1953]

And that’s why man invented the camera. Document the past and move on. Buy the refurbished guitar then make it your own.

[@andrewverbil3518]

Great job 👍

[@alexdeleon7135]

I commend you for using the correct size screwdriver for each screw on this restore. I have seen many other videos where the person working uses the same screwdriver for any screw. It ruins the screw heads. I always stop the video when I see that reckless behavior. Good job!

[@skalewilly]

What a great job in the guitar, congrats!!!

I didn't know that Bill Lawrence ever built whole guitars. His pickups are legendary - that should be a fine sounding guitar.

[@GYYYO]

They sold them in Japan. I don’t think it’s built by Bill himself, but he probably licensed his name.

[@vincenzoerriquenz2356]

This particolar model was called Essential

[@pvdguitars2951]

Absolutely. I had a strat with a dual rail humbucker from Bill way back in the early eighties. Best sound ever!

Moridaira Co., Ltd used be a Distributor of Bill Lawrence pickups in Japan since 80's Few years later, They got a license of making "Bill Lawrence guitars"(Of Course for Japanese market only) This one is a signature model of Japanese famous guitarist. And according to their HP, they have still a license of "Bill Lawrence guitars". kzbin.info/www/bejne/gH7OaZucmNGHlbs

ヘッド裏のSTILL of the NIGHTは、ホワイトスネイクじゃなくてレッドウォリアーズのほうだろうなｗ 当時の同価格帯なら、近年ジャパビンとか持ち上げられているフェンダージャパンやフェルナンデスより、ビルローレンスのほうが音も品質も高かった印象。ピックアップも、このブラックラベルのほかｌ、L-250、L-500と名機揃い。

[@user-dk3tz5gy7p]

数年前に同ギターを試奏したらフレットは太く22フレット、ネックも厚みがあり2点止ブリッジ、ＰＵカバー無、とフェンダーのヴィンテージ調ストラトキャスターとはまるで別物でしたね。ＰＵカバーがないのが激しく弾くとＰＵを痛めそうでなんで？カバーレスなのかな。

[@killingmasheen]

There's something to the look of the single unangled bridge pickup that's quite visually appealing. Really if there's any pickup that needs to be angled on a Fender it's the neck pickup. I rearranged a pickguard on a strat I got like that with a straight bridge and middle pickup and an angled neck away from the bass strings. It's the most balanced strat I've ever played; no wolf-tone on the neck and no piercing high end at the bridge, perfection👌

[@Unit99632]

Great relic, was

[@jamesgordy9433]

I find the graffiti on the guitars just as fascinating it shows there history .he does beutiful restoration.

Nice clean up.. If you’d wanted to clean up the neck plate or any of the black parts. You could’ve buffed the neck plate and taken the pits out and re blackened them with “ Gun Blue” . Just some extra info. that I thought that you’d like to know.

[@pkneeyahx]

What songs are you playing in the trial part of this video?

[@jpalberthoward9]

When I see something like this, I remember working my butt off all summer, and well into the fall to buy a red Fender Mustang dated July 1965. It was 9 years old and I was 14. I took meticulous care of that guitar because I had worked so hard for it. When I see this, my first thought is that it was given to whoever it was that did this to it, or he stole it. That which is too easily obtained is often too lightly esteemed. The other possibility is that he spent more time with the glass pipe than with the guitar.

[@user-qy8pl4wk5o]

[@introism9510]

I pause the video and use Google lens translator with my smartphone.

[@griimlock8922]

Can't lie, i actually liked and preferred the writing, it actually gave the axe some personality, like its been through and seen some shit. I definitely would of upgraded hardware and electrics but left the body and pickguard.

[@johneeeemarry34]

The instrument hasn’t “seen any shit”..a spoiled Japanese teenager probably received the guitar as a present from his parents.. he wrote a bunch of gobeldegook on it in English thinking that the west is cool and punk, when in reality it’s woke, conformist and broken.. This guitar sat in a bedroom looking western and faux rebellious …maybe it was use in a shit Greenday type pop punk band that played in comfortable venues a short distance from campus…Maybe two Japanese women with childish brightly coloured hair were in the audience… The girls weren’t attractive and no one from the band had sex with them… The hardware on this instrument is perfectly acceptable…

[@BradleyBellwether-oy2qi]

If it's a low budget guitar with that much damage, I'll always repaint it. If it's a rarer, or higher end guitar or bass, I'll just restore the paint. I love this channel!!!
