This is particularly true of the bridge pickup, which often gets unusably bright. We’ve rectified this in the Retro Wind Firebirds, using a slightly overwound coil (based on the coil wind we use for our mini-humbuckers) for a beefier tone that has all the gnarly twang of a good Firebird pickup, while never being at risk of getting ear shatteringly bright.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor anyone wondering the difference between a mini-humbucker and a firebird pickup essentially lies in the magnets. A mini-humbucker is essentially a shrunk down version of a regular humbucker, with a single magnet underneath two coils. A firebird pickup, on the other hand, has two bar magnets in place of the polepiece and slug configuration. This gives the firebird pickup a noticeably different magnetic field shape, resulting in a brighter sound. As a result, Firebirds are sometimes said to be the perfect marriage of Gibson playability with Fender tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Retro Wind Firebirds come with four-conductor wire as standard. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScatterwound using 42-gauge plain enamel wire:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeck- Alnico V, 7.7k\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBridge- Alnico V, 7.8k\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Monty's","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":61555847692618,"sku":"15888","price":2495.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0927\/9910\/7402\/files\/monty-s-pickups-montys-retro-wind-firebird-pickup-neck-nickel-1231650372.webp?v=1775727758","url":"https:\/\/tgt11.com\/products\/montys-retro-wind-firebird-pickup-neck-nickel","provider":"These Go To 11","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
