What a beut!
I have a white Firebird from 2013, with the Steinberg tuners. It's such an indulgent guitar, but I've always wanted one so hey ho.

I found that really lowering the ceramic pickups does wonders. They don't sound 'bad' per say- jus maybe not vintage correct. But as I have vintage-spec FB pickups in a Jag already, they have their own place for now.
