Notes
Your dear uncle shines some light on the age old comparison between “firebird pickups” and “regular mini humbuckers” as they are known on the street.
so...what do YOU hear dear Homeskoolers??
Test notes:
a) both guitars tuned down a half step and outfitted with only the finest roundwound strings.
b) a 1954 fender tweed deluxe vacuum tube amplifier and a no-balls odr-1 overdrive pedal were used as a control.
