Real vintage Gibson Firebird pickup had a special construction – a set of thin steel plates. These hard-to-find plates contribute to the distinctive biting tone of a vintage Firebird guitar. The plates are hidden inside the pickup – and many of the new production pickups are actually built without them. Small plate measures 1″ x 7/32″ (25.4mm x 5.56mm) and it is positioned on the TREBLE side of the pickup, just under the chrome plated nickel silver cover – under the “B” and “G” string – and on top of the bobbins. Larger steel plate is under the bobbins inside the pickup, it measures 1-15/16″ x 7/8″ (49.21mm x 22.23mm) ; Thickness: 0.015″ Here are the specs: Stamped NICKEL SILVER base plates with short legs Vintage correct steel plates Vintage reproduction mini humbucker bobbins Alnico V magnet bars Maple spacers Single conductor shielded wire with tinned braided copper shield Elektrisola AWG42 enameled copper wire Coils are wrapped with vintage black paper tape – “flat-back” tape   Mounting screws and springs are included.
