Bill Lawrence Semi Hollow Sunburst

Up for your consideration we have an extremely rare Bill Lawrence designed hollow body Crafted by the expert luthiers at the Morris guitar company in Matsumoku Japan.  Low action, responsive Bill Lawrence made PAF style pickups, and a familiar control layout.  Super dynamic pickups.  24 3/4" scale, 15 1/2" bout, 2 1/4" thick, and a 1.65" nut.  This one comes with a gig bag. It is a true hollow body in that the supporting block runs under the top only. The top is solid spruce, the back and sides are ply. The one piece neck appears to be some sort of Mahogany like species or Nato. It's a great guitar with plenty of life left in the frets. All the electronics workers they should.

From the web:

At the end of the 1970s, the Moridaira Company (owner of Morris guitars) became the exclusive distributor for Lawrence's products in Japan. Lawrence and Toshio Moridaira started a joint venture - The Bill Lawrence Guitar - and the Moridaira Company was the exclusive distributor for these guitars to be sold only in the south-east Asian market. Moridaira made the guitars in his Matsumoto based Morris factory, and Lawrence supplied them with his USA made pickups and endorsed the guitars. He stayed one month in Matsumoto at Toshio's house to teach him the marketing strategy, and worked in his factory to set it up for electric guitar production.

It is hard to identify, but we believe this is one of the early models that Bill designed. After Bill left Japan, Toshio started making fender and Gibson copies and slapping the bill Lawrence name on them.  It is possible this guitar was made in the '80s or '90s.  Modern PAF sticker pickups indicate could be possibly the '90s.
