Gibson Firebird Pickup Set

World-class engineers set about creating a smaller, more compact humbucker to fit into the slot of a P-90

The introduction of the mini humbucker in the late-1960s served a growing need - the demand for a P-90-sized pickup with no hum. Gibson's world-class engineers set about creating a smaller, more compact humbucker to fit into the slot of a P-90. With its smaller size, narrow magnetic field, and unique design combination, the mini humbucker produces a bright and focused output, while still retaining Gibson's famous humbucker performance. The mini humbucker was first made available in several Gibson-made Epiphone models of the late 1960s, and the Les Paul Deluxe in 1969. Today, it is best known as the pickup in the Gibson Firebird, and is a vintage replica of the original mini humbucker with bar Alnico II magnets. The Gibson mini humbucker is authentic in every detail, from its cream-colored plastic mounting and coated enamel-like wire, to its maple spacers and vintage braided lead wire. The tone is unmistakable Gibson.

- The mini humbucker is available for the bridge or neck position, and is equipped with braided, two–conductor wiring and fully wax potted to eliminate microphonic feedback.
