Like a mini humbucker you get two thin narrow bobbins, packed with hand-wound wire coils.
One with a mini bar magnet, the other with yet another bar magnet!
Firebirds are not designed like a mini or regular humbucker and sounds like neither.
Slightly mismatched coils produce a bright snappy tone with an emphasis on the upper mids and treble.
Shielded two wire output as standard. See below for Options.
FletcherBirds are Modern size and might not fit well within vintage guitars:
Dimensions - 68mm(L - 80mm including mounts) x 28mm (W) x 16.5mm ( H - 26mm including mounts)

Covered
These Pickups have to be covered.
Covers are available in the following finishes:
Chrome (as standard), Unplated Raw Nickel, Plated Nickel, Unplated Brass, Gold(+£10) or Black(+£10)
Foil'd
Pick an Open Cover finish in Chrome, Nickel, Raw Nickel, Gold or Matt Black
Then pick an Aluminium foil in Silver, Gold, Black, Blue or Pink!
Relic'd
Artificially aged or Relic'd Humbucker covers available in Nickel or Gold (Chrome doesn't relic well with the method I use).
Each relic'd cover will age differently and look different.
Overwound Underwound
All Vintage wind AWG43 pickups can be overwound by 5% to Vintage-Hot for a more edgy, gritty sound. (AWG 42 vintage spec fills the bobbin, so can be wound no more).
All pickups can be underwound by up to 10% for a cleaner, clearer vibe, recommended on semi/hollow bodies or bodies with an overly dark tone.
Overwound recommended for bright bodies, or just more dirt!
