Does anyone know what pick ups where used in the Gibson Corvus III ( i know they are Bill Lawernce) ?  I would really like to get something close to those for my strat. they are clean clear and BEEFY yet retain the shimmer and sizzle of vintage strat pickups.
 
It was made for only a couple years in the mid 1980s. The only information I could find was speculation that they were put together from parts bins using half a humbucker.  Reliability of this claim is suspect but it's the only thing I found.
 
After much much searching and alot of leg work it all came down to a simple phone call. I called the man who made them Bill Lawrence. After a lengthy phone call ( don't get him started on windings and such TRUST me) i was able to get as much info as he could remember about them. They are simply a slightly over wound P90 style with weaker alnico magnets in a single coil form factor.
