Bill Lawrence BT1R T-Style Electric Guitar 1980’s – Butterscotch MIJ

Description

Built during the golden era of Japanese guitar craftsmanship, this 1980s Bill Lawrence BT1R T-Style Electric Guitar delivers vintage-inspired looks, exceptional playability, and outstanding build quality. Finished in a classic Butterscotch finish, this Made in Japan T-style combines timeless design with the precision and attention to detail that have made Japanese-built instruments from this era highly sought after.

Equipped with a pair of Bill Lawrence vintage-style single-coil pickups, including a T1 in the neck and a T2 in the bridge, this BT1R produces the unmistakable snap, twang, and clarity that define a great T-style guitar. The neck pickup delivers warm, articulate cleans, while the bridge pickup offers bright attack and plenty of bite for everything from country and blues to classic rock. A traditional three-way selector switch, along with master volume and tone controls, provides a wide range of versatile sounds.

This guitar is in excellent playing condition with very little fret wear. Providing smooth action and reliable intonation across the entire neck. Cosmetically, it is in very good condition, showing only a couple of scrapes on the lower body corner and a small finish chip around the neck pocket. These minor blemishes are purely cosmetic and do not affect the guitar’s playability or structural integrity.
