application
Vintage-correct replica of classic Firebird® pickup.
Great for jazz, blues, rockabilly, classic rock and heavy rock.
description
The sound is somewhat of a tonal cross
between a single-coil and a humbucker. They're brighter and livelier
than a full-size humbucker with more "bell tone." The Alnico 5 magnet
and moderate output coil windings make it an authentic tonal
reproduction of the great sound of a classic Firebird®. Comes with
vintage-style single-conductor hookup cable.
complete setup
Available in both neck and bridge
versions.
Also, the Vintage is commonly used in the neck with an SM-2 Custom or
SM-3 Seymourized in the bridge position for higher output and
versatility.
guitars
For balanced and warm instruments. Works
especially well with soft wood bodies (e.g., mahogany and swamp ash)
and rosewood fingerboards.
