FIREBIRD Pickup SET 3pcs Vintage Correct Mini Humbucker Chrome Nickel Silver Fits Gibson

This listing is for 3 pickups set, as on photos – Firebird Mini Humbucker – hand made by Q pickups.

Vintage correct replica`s of an early 60s Firebird pickup. Everything about these is high quality – built to deliver 1963 Firebird tone. Pickup cover dimensions are 2.67″ x 1.1″ x .55″ (67.95mm x 28mm x 14mm) and 2.94″ / 74.6 mm between the centers of the 2 mounting holes. Real vintage Gibson Firebird pickup had a special construction – a set of thin steel plates. These hard-to-find plates contribute to the distinctive biting tone of a vintage Firebird guitar. The plates are hidden inside the pickup – and many of the new production pickups are actually built without them.

Small plate measures 1″ x 7/32″ (25.4mm x 5.56mm) and it is positioned on the TREBLE side of the pickup, just under the chrome plated nickel silver cover – under the “B” and “G” string – and on top of the bobbins.
