I love firebirds and I had a reverend warhawk. I decided to put GFS minihums in it. I don't know if the wiring was not the right fit but those bastids would feedback way too much and not in the musical way. Kind of killed the guitar for me. I haven't touched the thing since '07. Best pickups are the stock pups in my 1973 Guild M-75 bluesbird. They have a little more clarity than a 57classic style humbucker.

Wurst: cheap early 1980s Dimarzio humbuckers. Okay for super low volumes but uncontrollable feedback at band practice volumes. I don't remember what model they were. Bast: Peavey Wolfgang humbuckers.

oh and my worst would have to go to FIRST ACT GUITAR PUPS. OOHHHHHH MY GOODNESS. talk about sounding like a blanket over the amp. ehhh it makes me want to puke. my friends parents wouldnt let him get a job so he STILL has his first act guitar only' date=' and thats why i quit the band. ahaha yall may think he is a crappy guitarist to begin with, but really he is talented he seriously can't afford nething so he has to deal with g-mas christmas present from 3 years ago lol.[/quote']their bikini humbucker is a fine sounding pickup. Very open and articulate. Nice fat lunch.
