Feel your Firebird like never before with Firebird Pickups by Lindy Fralin – clearer, more articulate, and full of power. Lindy optimized the original design for a quieter performance and a sweeter tone while featuring six new cover finishes to either match your guitar’s aesthetic or make it stand out. Featuring a versatile, hum-free tone that’s a bit thicker-sounding than our Mini Humbuckers, you’ll wonder why you didn’t make the switch sooner.

We designed our Firebird replacements to work with both original and re-issue models. These pickups are renowned for their rich tone and precise articulation, offering unmatched versatility across musical styles. Crafted with 100% USA-made parts, our Firebird pickups are a testament to our commitment to quality and durability. They significantly improve the original design, featuring a slightly thicker midrange than our Mini Humbuckers.

Features:

• Compensated Output And Tone with a Stock Neck and +4% Bridge
• Six USA-made Cover finishes – create something unique
• USA-Made AlNiCo 5 Bar Magnets for a smooth, full-range tone
• Built with all USA-made parts in Richmond, VA
• Hand-wound with our “Sectioning” technique for unique, dynamic tone
• Hand-built for unrivaled quality control
• 10-Year Warranty on manufacturing defects

Our Firebird pickups are the perfect solution to escape a shrill-sounding guitar. Our Firebirds sound full, with extended range and excellent articulation, clarity, and dynamics. The lows are bouncy and rich, whereas the highs are round and clear.

We also feature three outputs – Stock, +4%, and +8%, depending on your music style. Our overwound set, a +4% Neck and an +8% Bridge, will get even dirtier quicker and features a darker tone that’s also thicker in the midrange than our Stock set.

Outputs:

Our recommended setup is a Stock Neck and a +4% Bridge. This set features a clear and clean Neck tone with a balanced Bridge tone in terms of output, highs, mids, and lows.

You can opt for an overwound set with a +4% Neck and a +8% Bridge. This yields more power and midrange and will certainly break up quicker and easier than our stock set.

Of course, if you wanted a traditional Vintage Firebird tone, you can go with a Stock Output Neck and a Stock Output Bridge. Both pickups will have the same output and might yield a brighter, snappier tone from the bridge.
