Product information "Firebird Set"

 

Firebirds are rare birds. If you think of Firebird-Sounds, you probably think of Johnny Winter. The Texas gunslinger is the most popular Firebird user. 

Fun fact: not many people know, that Gibson´s Firebird has made sound history with another well known guitarist. Maybe you know that the iconic „Satisfaction“ riff
was recorded with the legendary Maestro Fuzz - but only few people know that Keith Richards used a Firebird for the recording of the Stones classic. 
Everybody knows for sure that the great Neil Young put a ´63 Firebird bridgepickup in his famous „Old Black“ Les Paul. There are also some other guitar heroes
riding the back of Firebirds: Eric Clapton (at the time Cream), Stephen Stills (Crosby, Stills & Nash, Buffalo Springfield) Allen Collins (Lynyrd Skynyrd), 
Phil Manzarena (Roxy Music) Ronnie Wood and Brian Jones (Rolling Stones). My FB60 set is the essence of the typical sound characteristics associated
with Firebirds. Some say it´s a Telecaster on steroids without the hum. Anyway: if you think a PAF, a P-90 or a Minihumbucker are lacking that extra magic…then 
my FB60 is the sound you´ve been looking for. Remember Allen Collins´ Freebird solo - `cause I´m as free as a bird now and this bird you cannot change…
 

The Gibson Firebird is a legendary electric guitar model first introduced in 1963 by the US-based company Gibson Guitar Corporation. Its distinctive design was crafted by renowned US automotive designer Raymond Dietrich, featuring unconventional body and headstock shapes. The Firebird was one of the first models to feature a through-body neck construction and was offered in various iterations.

Our Firebird pickups draw inspiration from the early models and deliver a unique sound capturing the essence of rock 'n' roll. We offer sets with Alnico 4 and Alnico 5 magnets, each bringing its own distinctive characteristics. The Alnico 4 versions provide a softer sound with a richer depth, while the Alnico 5 versions offer a faster attack and a harder dynamic.

Handcrafted and individually tuned, our pickups deliver the characteristic tone and versatility that guitarists seek. Explore the powerful tones and distinctive dynamics of our Firebird pickups. Whether you're aiming for the classic rock sound of Gary Moore or the blues-rock vibe of Johnny Winter, our pickups offer the performance and vintage flair to bring your music to life.
