This site is devoted to the historical legacy of The Man from Cologne -- Musician, Designer and Craftsman Bill Lawrence -- and to his ongoing work in the fields of physics and electrodynamics. Mr. Lawrence is world-famous as a truly pioneering "player-designer-engineer" of the electric guitar.

For over forty years, Bill Lawrence has published numerous articles on the subject of guitar design, been granted numerous patents, and worked with some of the most respected companies in the guitar industry, including Framus, Gibson, and Fender. His latest designs for Fender include an extensive series of pickups used in the prestigious and highly acclaimed American Deluxe Series of guitars and basses.

Today, Bill continues to design and manufacture at his Orange, California workshop offering players his uniquely consistent quality, value, and innovation under the Wilde® & Keystone™ brands.
