Very nice demo, thanks! It's awesome that you review and demo sweet guitars that you don't see in many channels here. Let alone I haven't heard many Firebird pickup demos. They are different from mini humbuckers in using a rail and not pole pieces in each coil. These pickups done clean, sound very nice, better than I'd expect. Clean and overdriven they sound a bit more like single coils than the mini humbuckers to me, though they are both bright sounding. The guitar looks awesome and the price is decent too. Good option!
Thanks Jimmy! Haha yea, I don't plan it that way. Just whatever deals cross my path I suppose. Yea I had never tried Firebird pups either but I did like them. Especially that Middle on its own, and the Middle + Bridge combo. Really special there I felt.
I was thinking about these quite a while ago. I bought an Harmony but I like the "vintagy" sound of this one so I might sell and buy. For me it sounds in between a strat with Gibson "fullness" and between jazzmaster and non reverse firebird esthetics.
Thinking about getting one of these gtrs, sounds fantastic and very tasty playing to boot! What amp are you running through in GTR Rig for the clean tones in the beginning?
@@joeytheguitarplayer Pulled the trigger, got the Fuoco Burst with the Bigsby; haven't put it down, such a great guitar. I think I will put a treble bleed on the volume pot though.

Nice tones, thanks for the demo.
Thank you Travis!
Thanks for the great demo - nice to actually hear the guitar with tasteful playing vs the Eastwood demos which are all “hot blues riff” jack-offs.
Do you still play it ? Anyone else has one and enjoy it ?
Just ordered mine..

When saying Firebird "style" does that mean that these are basically mini - humbuckers voiced like Firebirds?
