barrymclark Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 Would have been Standard Issue with a 1991 H140?
big bob Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 golden 50's I think theres a set for sale in the for sale section
SouthpawGuy Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 Most Heritages have the type of pickups installed written on the control cavity cover or on the label inside the f-hole. Well if they are SDs or Lollars that is. For "standard" Schallers I don't know if that applies, you could ask the seller to take the cover off and have a look.

Bombassa Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 Scaller are making new pickup rings : http://schaller-guitarparts.de/hp135291/Pickup-Frames.htm Bombassa
barrymclark Posted April 10, 2009 Author Posted April 10, 2009 Anyone know if the middle pickup ring is a different height than the bridge one? I have only ever seen two heights... but I have dealt with a middle pickup issue before.
brentrocks Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 Anyone know if the middle pickup ring is a different height than the bridge one? I have only ever seen two heights... but I have dealt with a middle pickup issue before. i had a 170 3 pup a while back and the neck and middle were the same
barrymclark Posted April 10, 2009 Author Posted April 10, 2009 Ah, bummer. I heard tale that someone on here might be changing out some cremes on a 90s model for some black rings... but that would be for neck and bridge... and it seems I need two neck pickup rings. Oh well.
barrymclark Posted April 10, 2009 Author Posted April 10, 2009 Ask your uncleNot my uncle. Never met him. This would be Jen's Great Uncle. No hookup like that.
Bombassa Posted April 11, 2009 Posted April 11, 2009 Actually I don't think those pups. in the 140 was standard Schallers. Golden 50's specs: 7.4k neck/ 8.2 bridge. mine have res. 7.3k / 7.9k. Besides that I know that Bill Lawrence was inwolved. Bombassa

So you're saying the standard 140 pickups were standard Schallers?
Bombassa Posted April 11, 2009 Posted April 11, 2009 That's what I was told when I bought the guitar. I bought it from the Heritage importer, a friend of mine. I'm not sure wether Bill Lawrence worked for Heritage or Schaller. Rumors said that something went wrong with that coorporation, and that BL. afterwards claimed to have constructed a shit pup for them. Not everyone believe this. ;D Bombassa

Not everyone believe this. ;D Bombassa The Bill Lawrence story is pretty complicated ! Looks like his real name was Willi Lorenz Stich who partnered with Jzchak Wajcman to form Lawrence Electro-sound in Germany in the '60s. http://www.billlawrencereview.com/Jzchak_EZ_Wajcman Bill Lawrence then moved to New York and here's an interesting quote : "Among Bill's apprentices in those days were Dan Armstrong's teenaged son, Kent, and a local kid named Larry DiMarzio." Bill Lawrence worked for Gibson in the 70's, in Nashville. This page has a bio and links to some interesting articles : http://www.billlawrence.com/Pages/BillLawrence/Biography.htm The commercial name "Bill Lawrence" is now owned by Jzchak Wajcman : http://www.billlawrenceusa.com/ Real Bill Lawrence pickups are sold under the names "Wilde" and "Keystone" : http://www.billlawrence.com/Pages/Pickup_W...ntroduction.htm
