heymisterk Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Anyone got a guitar with 'em? If so, what are your tonal thoughts? I have been watching a few clips of the Firebird on YouTube and they have a nice tone, but in general, I don't see them often. My understanding is that's what Neil Young uses for his signature tone.

Silenced Fred Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 I don't have a guitar with one yet, but I will. Looking to get a Hanson Chicagoan with mini hums. They sound real cool, especially with fuzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lungimsam Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Used to have an SG Deluxe with them back in the 90's. They sounded fantastic clean or distorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigKahune Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 . I've got a guitar with bridge and neck Gibson minis made in the 70s. Bright but warm - love the tone. I've got these in a modded guitar with three pup configuration and the middle pup is a DiMarzio SD. (the 3 pup in my avatar) I really like the minis. I used to have an LP Deluxe I sold years ago. I'm still lamenting letting that one go. Anyway, the tone is classic and coupled with a good drive pedal you'll have plenty of flexibility.

charlie brown Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 I have 2 guitars, with "Mini's." '76 Gibson LP Deluxe, and an AIUSA Epiphone Sheraton II! Both, are great sounding guitars! The "easiest" explanation, on mini-humbucker tone, is that they're kind of a cross, between a P-90 (Bright and round), and a regular Humbucker...(warm, and quiet). The mini's on the Sheraton, are an outstanding combination, with that "semi-hollow" body. Really warm, round, and biting, too...but very articulate, as well. The use of those, for the neck pickup, especially, is wonderful. Never "muddy" unless YOU want/set them that way, via the tone control. Hope that helps, a little?

chase1410 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I had a newer firebird V that i sold for a Fender CS Tele...but aside from the guitar itself, the pickups were amazing...I've heard that the newer mini-hums that are in the new FB's are different then the others...but either way the pups sounded fantastic clean or distorted.
