Firebird Vintage Plus

$100 - $345 (Pricing varies depending on options chosen)

Here's the hotter of the two Firebird sets. They are Onamac Windery's Firebird Vintage Plus mini humbuckers.

There's nothing mini about these. They are full and powerful yet retain the exceptional clarity and harmonics Onamac Windery hand wound coils are known for.

Next gig feel free to leave the P90 axe at home these babies will pull off "Mississippi Queen" and then some yet still cut through even when rolled back a bit thanks to the powerful bar magnets in each bobbin along with the steel reflector plates.

Seemingly insignificant, the little reflector plates have much to do with how Firebird pickups sound. One plate covers the bottom of the bobbins connecting the two magnets creating a larger more powerful magnetic field.

The second smaller strip is on top of the bobbins located below the "B" string area also connecting the two magnets creating a powerful magnetic field in the treble string area contributing to the signature "bite" Firebird's are known for.

Thought of as unimportant the reflector plates are left out of many Firebird replacement pickups and their tone reflects it. (Pardon the pun)

Like the Onamac Top Shelf humbucker line these are made with all the usual good stuff; our own alnico 5 bar magnets, 42awg plain enamel coils, maple spacers, custom made reflector plates, nickel silver base plates and covers in your choice of finish. Sets include new mounting hardware.

This set is the more powerful "Firebird Vintage Plus" they are wound to 6.8k and 7.3k.
