I'd take that as a win!

As far as sound goes ... Gibson have a history of messing with the original Firebird pickup design in order to gain more power ... and the modern ones are still not as 'warm and chewy' in the mids and bottom end as the originals. Of course you will never really get a full on 'big bobbin' humbucker sound with a 'Bird' ... but that's not what they were designed for.
Personally I think I'd have rather dropped the 190 on a second hand Epi Firebird ... true it isn't built like the original ... but it has the 'look' (and that's what most people love) and it isn't illegal sell on when you tire of it.

It looks more like an explorer tbh. I love the new FBpickups, but they need adjusting correctly. once 'right', they sound better than BBs. They have a 'hot spanky tele' tone.
