Product Details
The Bird offers our popular mini-humbucker-size Firebird pickup in a larger enclosure, making it suitable as a drop-in replacement for most guitars equipped with PAF-size humbuckers such as our Imperial. Compared with most humbuckers, players will find a brighter, snappier sound with a tight low end, encased in a no-hole cover to keep the classic Firebird vibe. The Bird is percussive and articulate and truly takes flight in darker-sounding instruments, or to provide variety and versatility when combined with other pickup types, especially P-90s.

Why has no one thought of these until now?

I've been searching a while for a good set of pickups for my 'other' SG. I have a 61 reissue with 57 classics that sounds great, but wanted something with a totally different sound for my 2nd SG... These are definitely it! They're clear with a bite, and have a single coil sound that's somewhere between a tele and P90. These are definitely my new go-to sound for when I'm wanting to get out of doing the same thing all the time. Strongly recommend for anyone looking to refresh their tone and style.

The Bird(s) in an '89 Gibson Les Paul Standard

I have two Strat plus's a '95 and '90 with a trio of Lollar Firebirds..The guitars sound incredible in full coil, single coil, in parallel/series, and in/out of phase. I put a set of "The Birds" in my '89 Gibson Les Paul. Amazing response, harmonic structure, sustain, and rich tones! I don't know why I waited so long!
