She's a 1990 Firebird V, which I got already modded with the Lyre tailpiece, but still had the stoptail holes. I got her for a song ! When I had the holes plugged & center section refinned, I had her routed for a 3rd mini. The switching is now done via 3 push/PUSH volume pots(W/ 1 tone) The toggle does nothing & would LOVE to get a Firebird I guard for it(HINT!)
The pickups are prototypes from my buddy Will at WB Custom Pickups. They are not quite there yet, but I'm awaiting a second proto set soon. I also changed to cream knobs to complete the look, as the black knobs, being the only black plastic on her, just didn't look right to me.

HERE SHE IS!

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the second version of those PUP's. Always on the hunt to try something new... I'll just have to build another firebird to try em in!

Will winds some amazing buckers, but is winding these as protos & is nice enough to try to get 'em just how I want them. These are a bit too strident & he thinks it might be solved, at least partially, by changing the magnetics. I'm confident they'll be amazing when they are perfected!

Sweet man! Keep us all in the loop. Im thinking about building one from Black Limba in a few months... might just put a pair of those on it

I talked to Will today & tey should be here soon! He also let me in on some new 2-tone P90's that sound TOO interesting! He's always got something new in the works!

Nice. I have a white 90 bird that I added a vibrola to only I just used pearl dots to cover the stud holes and put real 60s bird pups in.
