Firebird™ pickups have been favorites of players in the know since
the model was first released in 1963. While humbucking, they should not
be confused with other externally similar-looking mini humbucker™
models. Internally, Firebird pickups use two bar magnets around which
the coils are wound, giving them a distinctive tone that is somewhat
sonically similar to single coils; bright and clear in the highs with
the full, tight lows you expect from a humbucker. The Firebird Reissue
Plus is wound hotter for a slightly thicker and fuller tone and
wax-potted to eliminate microphonic feedback.
