Product Description
The calibrated Alnico 5 magnets of the Antiquity II Firebird vintage mini humbucker bridge pickup give the treble response an edgy sparkle—like an overwound single-coil—and the classic coil wind gives the bass response a humbucker-like tightness. The result is a pickup that sounds like the perfect cross between a single-coil and a humbucker with a growling tone.
The neck pickup’s treble response delivers clear single notes, and its low end will give your chords warmth and punch, making it a favorite for modified Telecasters. It’s as if these pickups have been sweetened with age—perfect for jangly rhythm, percussive hybrid picking, blues, rock, rowdy slide playing, and more.
The Antiquity II Firebird pickup is a drop-in replacement for Gibson Firebirds or any mini humbucker-equipped guitar, and it mounts with a standard Firebird mounting ring and 3-48 mounting screw, like the originals. Its custom-aged nickel cover makes it a great match for well-weathered, road-worn instruments and new “relic’ed” models alike.
