Line 150: {{blockquote\|I still have all six of them{{nbsp}}... but that first one [1963] I ever bought is my favorite because I've played it so long and I've gotten used to it. They all sound different, but that one sounds the best. The neck is nice and thin{{nbsp}}... there's nothing it can't do. It's a great guitar.<ref name="Bacon"/>}} The ~~Firebird~~original VFirebird was a departure from Gibson's traditional configuration, with ~~[[mini-humbucker]]~~Firebird "sidewinder" pickups in place of the company's standard sized [[PAF (pickup)\|PAF]] humbucker or [[P-90]] single-coil pickup models.<ref name="Hunter"/> Later Firebirds used a different (non-sidewinder) design, which may account for Winter's preference for the 1963. Firebird pickups were still different than Gibson's Mini-Humbuckers, but the terminology is often incorrectly mixed. Firebird pickups, by nature of their design, are brighter than Mini-Humbuckers. In a 2014 interview, Winter described the tone: {{blockquote\|The Firebird is the best of all worlds. It feels like a Gibson, but it sounds closer to a Fender than most other Gibsons. I was never a big fan of humbucking pickups, but the mini humbuckers on the Firebird have more bite and treble.<ref name="Scapelliti">
