Hello Gents,
I am looking at getting a 2008 Custom Shop NR Firebird with Firebird pickups. I believe that they are stock.
Would these pickups be the modern Gibson ceramic firebird pickups with like 14k resistance that no one seems to like? Or was there a custom shop version of these?
Also do these have 500k or the 300k pots?
I am ok with replacing the pickups, and will likely look at Lollar, Novak, maybe Antiquities, etc. I actually want to get the mythical "fat Tele" sound if possible, as I will play mostly clean with a touch of hair, using a Deluxe Reverb clone, then use pedals for OD, fuzz, etc. Any suggestions for this? Worst case scenario I could put in some Lollar mini-humbuckers, which I think ought to fit in the same slot correct?
Thanks!
