Ok it's got good pickups but:
A plastic jack socket?
Zero break angle headstock? (With friction inducing bar)
And that shape
Reminds me of a beginers guitar from the early 70's
Is this a toy?
I was going to say "beginners" as well, Andy.
If it is a beginners, it does look nice for a beginners, but many of the issues that Andy points out are some drawbacks. I guess you'd have to put some work into the playability. Of course, I could be so way off and it plays like a charm!
AKA: Willi Schtick, Mr. Bill has a host of designs with his stamp on them including the Gibson Marauder. Compared to some, this one is quite clean looking and all of the appointments match. This obviously wasn't a high-end guitar and was designed to be easy to make. All in all, the body shape is a nice mix of traditional cues without resorting to outrageous wings or swoops to get your attention.

It has one of Bill Lawrence's many aliases attached, but is there any indication he had anything to do with the pickups?
If he was a successful jazz guitarist in Europe before coming here, he may have had "signature models" out there before he designed or built any pickups.
I don't know my Framus pickups. Are these like those on other Framus models?
