Single Gibson USA Mini-Humbucker
Pickup selection is not part of the workflow because the guitar has one pickup.

Independent shopping perspective
Heather Poly gives this 1963 Firebird I the model’s offset double-cutaway presentation, while its nine-ply mahogany-and-walnut neck runs through the body and joins mahogany wings. The control layout stays direct: one Gibson USA Mini-Humbucker, a master volume, and a master tone. That pickup uses an Alnico 5 magnet and is described for clean sounds through overdrive. A period-accurate ’63 neck profile, 22-fret Indian laurel fingerboard, and Wraparound Lightning Bar bridge complete the playing setup.
