Awesome! Thanks for sharing Jacob!

Hey Jacob. How do they handle heavy fuzz?

@@jaseyraw8843 my firebird pickups love fuzz pedals. My pedalboard is nothing but different fuzzes lol so yea. They still retain a strat dynamic, but with humbucker control. Really nice.

@@ColeDrankWilly hey man thanks for getting back to me. Is that with loud volumes also, or just bedroom levels? Cheers

@@jaseyraw8843 is what loud?

Thanks for your feedback!

Awesome. Thanks for your feedback!

Weird question... do you have the wiring diagram or any tips on installing?

Who makes Tele pickguards for a Firebird neck pu?

Thanks for your feedback jimiaxe!

Thanks for your feedback!!

That would bed a great combination for sure. Thanks for your feedback!

Sounds like a great project!

Thanks Cornelius, sounds like a killer setup!

By more meat do you mean heavier sounding? Since mini humbuckers are heavier sounding of the two

@@1985cactus I disagree, my Firebird pickup sounds much meatier than minihums. My Duncan SM-3 is meatier still.

@@corneliuscrewe677 Okay, thanks. I thought that Firebird pickups are closer to the single coils than regular mini humbuckers are

@@1985cactus To be fair, I have no idea where or when my Firebird pickup was made. I’m pretty sure it’s one of the hotter late model ones. Likely very different from the 60’s originals.

Thanks for your feedback and kind words. We'll have to add a video demo of the Bridge & Neck combination. In the works!

Thanks for your feedback!

Yes, mini humbuckers work really well with any Guitar that has P90s. The Epiphone Casino/Gibson 330 and even on les paul specials and Juniors cos they fit without having to take a mallet and chisell to the wood-work.

Great suggestion Alex. We will find a way to work that into the videos.

the DC resistance can help identify and copy a pickup, but it can be very misleading output wise just from knowing the number without knowing which wire its wound and what magnets and construction design was used, different pickups are wound with different diameter wire, one wound with thicker awg42 diameter may be less than 8k DCR and still louder than another wound with thinner awg44 and 10k DCR, strong alnico VIII or V magnet may make a lower wind pickup louder than a higher resistance wound pickup using alnico III.

@@maxbauer1633 all true. however, it’s still a useful value, and you’d be fairly safe betting a 15k dcr humbucker is going to be hotter than a 7-8k dcr humbucker.

Thanks!

Thanks for your feedback! It does no look like Gibson Firebird pickups these directly on their web site. But, just about every pickup maker has a Firebird pickup in their product line. Fralin, Lollar, DiMarzio, House of Tone.. Just to name a few.

They are not wider, and will fit in a a standard humbucker route. The issue is that your mounting ring holes will not line up with a standard sized humbucker mounting ring. I generally use them in Strats where a custom pick guard solves that problem (as you see in the video). But unfortunately, putting mini-humbuckers in a Les Paul or SG will be a challenge because the mounting ring holes will not line up.

​@@humbuckersoup7571 I believe there are adapter rings to convert humbucker to this size not sure how accurate they are though.

@@apakabarteman18 - That is true, but many times the mounting ring holes will not line up with a standard humbucker mounting ring holes (i.e. the four holes that allow. you to screw the mounting ring into the guitar body)

Thanks for your feedback!

As a both Gibson Firebird and Les Paul deluxe owner, i agreed with you. Mini humbucker has full and tighter low end along with more bite and sparkle on top end. Mini Hb definitely win this challenge to me.

Thanks Panika!

Thanks for your input Frank!

Why- to make it muddy? If it’s not microphonic, try a 100k pot to smooth out the spikey highs; and if it IS microphonic, then wax can be melted on the contact points causing the problem. Sludge is not the answer.
