Originally, the mini humbuckers were only to be found in the Gibson Les Paul Deluxe. The narrower magnetic field produces a clear and compact sound compared to normal humbuckers. In the 1970s, these pickups were often replaced by stronger pickups (often with significantly unpleasent frequency range) - today, where gain and sustain are no longer a big issue due to modern amps and pedals, the great sound of these pickups is however appreciated once more.
The model for the bridge position has a little more output and brings incredibly strong riffs and assertive leadlines to the sense of hearing.

After some extensive research, I bought this for my Epiphone Firebird 1963 Reissue and I couldn't be happier!
Despite liking the stock pickup, I replaced it because it didn't have that bite that my Gibson guitars have.
I usually play a Les Paul Traditional Pro with a stock BurstBucker 3 (Alnico 2) and have two SG's both with stock 490Ts (also Alnico 2) that have served as a comparison for sound.
This Mini-humbucker just matched their tone and had approximately the same output as the 490T. I didn't want a standard Firebird pickup since they have tonal qualities that would be closer to a hot-rodded single coil and that wasn't going to be suitable for the music I mostly play.
As said in the description of the product, it gives a tighter sound than standard humbuckers but won't give you any bad frequencies which might have been the case back in the day.
It's simply a great blues/rock/hard rock pickup which doesn't cost a fortune!
So on a budget, I've upgraded my Epiphone Firebird with a killer pickup and can use it as a main guitar now!

Je l'ai monté sur ma Gibson Les Paul Special de 2000, en remplacement des P100 d'origine, j'avais déjà les 2 plaques en métal (récuperé sur une SG montée en P90) avec des trous pour les vis, donc le montage c'est fait tout seul, par contre si vous n'en possédez pas, il va falloir bricoler un peu.
Le son est super avec moins de output que des gros doubles, de ce fait, ne cherchez pas à obtenir le son d'un humbucking standard, mais voyez plutôt comme un micro qui va vous ouvrir de nouvelles perspectives de son et de ce fait de création sonore.
Il se comporte très bien en disto, mais est bien plus aigu qu'un hum standard. Très à l'aise en son clair aussi.
Si vous voulez changer vos P90 ces micros sont parfaits, ça surprend au début car le niveau de sortie est bien plus bas que les P90.
Je peux les conseiller pour qui cherche un son nouveau et il ne sera pas décu.

I mounted it on my Gibson Les Paul Special from 2000, replacing the original P100, I already had the 2 metal plates (recovered from an SG mounted in P90) with holes for the screws, so the assembly it's done by itself, however if you don't have one, you'll have to tinker a little. The sound is great with less output than big doubles, so don't try to get the sound of a standard humbucking, but rather see it as a microphone that will open up new perspectives of sound and therefore sound creation. It behaves very well in distortion, but is much sharper than a standard hum. Very comfortable with clear sound too. If you want to change your P90s these microphones are perfect, it's surprising at first because the output level is much lower than the P90s. I can recommend them for anyone looking for a new sound and it will not be disappointed.
