I have a couple pickups I tried out but am real happy with my current pups so they go on the block!
First I've got a Duncan SM-3 "seymourized" mini humbucker that comes with both the original Duncan cover and an Antiquity cover.
It looks like this:

But has this cover included as well:

The SM-3 has real firebird pickup construction: ie, 2 rail magnets. I bought it with the antiquity cover already installed. It sounds great but didn't have enough output for the bridge position of my 'bird

I also have a vintage vibe mini humbucker that was custom made for me. It is a real mini-humbucker but has 12 alnico pole pieces instead of a bar magnet inside. The idea was to get the tone of 2 strat pickups in series instead of the traditional mini-hb sound. It does have more clarity and chime than a normal humbucker which actually puts it in real firebird pickup tone land. The cover is just like a firebird (no poles exposed). The only downside is that I had this pickup made for an LP deluxe (it would have been in a mini-ring) so the mounting ears are not threaded. You'll have to put a nut (included) on the screws to mount it in a firebird ring. This shouldn't be a problem at all. It looks exactly like a new gibson firebird pickup.
