Description
The LX500XL is the pickup that put Bill Lawrence’s name on the map with metal players, and it’s still wound the same way today – on vintage Gibson winding equipment that once turned out the legendary PAF pickups. That heritage matters: it’s part of why this design became the go-to bridge pickup for Dimebag Darrell and countless players chasing a clear, honest voice with real muscle behind it.
What sets this pickup apart isn’t just raw output. Bill Lawrence built the LX500XL to sound flat and true across the frequency spectrum rather than scooping or boosting artificially, so your guitar and amp finally sound like themselves – just louder and with more push. Combined with dead-quiet, hum-canceling humbucker construction, it lets whatever tone you’re chasing come through cleanly instead of getting buried in noise.
This is the higher-output version of the LX500 series, sitting in the 14-16K range, making it a natural fit for the bridge position where you want extra bite and sustain. That said, it’s versatile enough to work in any position on your guitar if you want that hotter output elsewhere in the mix.
