Description

Edit description

Unleash the true potential of your electric guitar with the OBL L500XL pickup, a masterstroke of engineering designed for the discerning musician. Born from the innovative mind of Bill Lawrence, the L500XL pickup is revered for its ability to deliver extraordinary clarity and power, even at the highest levels of gain. Whether you're shredding through rock and metal riffs or exploring the subtleties of blues and jazz, the L500XL ensures each note rings out with impeccable precision and strength.

Crafted with high Q stainless transformer steel blades, the L500XL provides a tight, punchy sound and an impressive voltage output that sets it apart from traditional humbuckers. This pickup is particularly celebrated among high-gain guitarists, thanks to its legendary association with icons like Dimebag Darrell and Nuno Bettencourt, yet its versatility makes it a favorite across a variety of genres. You're not just limited to aggressive sounds; the L500XL also delivers stunning clean tones with crisp note fidelity.

Each OBL L500XL is meticulously constructed to Bill Lawrence's original specifications, ensuring authenticity and quality in every unit. The pickup's compatibility with 500k pots makes it a seamless drop-in replacement for most guitars, while its 5-conductor design allows for flexible wiring options like series/parallel, split coil, and reverse phase setups. Elevate your sound with this extraordinary pickup that embodies the perfect blend of innovation and tradition.

Key Features:

High Q stainless transformer steel blades for enhanced clarity and output
9.2 Henry inductance, ideal for bridge position

Dimebag Darrell is known for his iconic Dean guitars, with his first being a Dean ML standard gifted by his father. He customized it extensively, including installing OBL L500XL pickups, a Floyd Rose tremolo, and a distinctive lightning paint job, making it his favorite guitar. This can be seen in a video by Saga Akerfeldt, where Dimebag showcases these modifications while playing solos.
