I love the sound of a nice, old Gibson Firebird but I would be afraid of decapitating one onstage. Hence, the Smith S2.

The received wisdom amongst many guitarists is that a Gibson solid body electric guitar should sound and look a certain way. The Firebird never conformed to expectations on either count. It exists in its own niche.
The Skylark single coil pickup, used on the Melody Maker, is of similar construction. Makes you wonder what two Skylark pickups, connected in series and in phase, would sound like.
I have tried Winterizers and Winterizer II (HB sized) in lots of guitars, and they essentially keep the Firebird character in pretty much all of them. They are lovely in an SG, Flying V and in the Epi Firebird copy, as well as being great in a Strat (three of them with a five way selector sounds awesome) and in the neck position of Telecasters.

I have an 07 Les Paul BFG which has a Zebra Burstbucker 3 in the bridge.
And I have a set of your Tubesnakes, bought a little while ago but still in the wrapping - order 10037.
How different would it sound in the bridge compared to the BB3?
(I realise they're black not zebra - not bothered about that).

I think I may have to drop an email to Stonewolf in the near future.... Fabulous guitars, fabulous pickups.
Cheers,
