They are good. They are also a tool. As such there things they do well, others not so much. Sometimes they are the perfect sound others they are not a good fit at all. It all depends on context, expectations, and needs.
Thanks. I got the first 4 correct, the last 2 I had no clue. So for me at least, the firebird bridge pickup is quite distinctive and the sound I prefer, both pickups or just neck, less so.
I didn’t do well at all. I though A was the FB and B was the LP throughout the whole thing. But on the neck clean and both clean, I’m surprised guitar B was the FB, it sounds so much warmer and “expensive”
i thought you would keep A & B for the same guitar all through the test on the very first test i was wrong i thought the guitar B had a richer sound, so i believe it was the crema pu - as i dont know them glad the firebird has a better sound, i looove this guitar but they re close
I could tell which guitar had the Cremas each time. Those Crema pups are a killer set of pickups. Worth every cent.

BoC - B Firebird
BC - B Crema
BD - B Crema
BoD - A Crema

I was very surprised how close they are. But you are absolutely right the Firebird pickups are just a bit warmer and more balanced in the mids
Very nice. I’m really wanting one of those firebirds to compliment my jazzmaster, which ironically has the crema pickups. lol
Firebirds are a bit warmer but still retains lot of clarity

I was surprised how similar they are. Stock Epiphone pickups that can stand up to a$300 boutique set.
Dude, you won't relent!
dude, the HISS in this vid is atrocious.
The condenser mic is too sensitive and picks up more room noise than needed. I’ve since moved to a different method of capturing the sound
