I have a guitar project on the way that I'm intending to use as my dedicated B standard/drop-A guitar, and I've come to the conclusion that the perfect pickup for that would be a Firebird style pickup. I know I could get some sort of conversion ring, but I'd prefer a full sized humbucker format to keep the guitar looking somewhat stock. It doesn't have to be exactly like a bigger Firebird pickup, anything that's in the same ballpark would be of interest.
So, what are my options?
Full HB-sized Firebird-ish pickups?

Hy Jonas.
I know of D‘Urbano Big Birds (I beliebe they are from Australia) and I myself got a set of Rübezahl Tonabnehmer (now Heavy Horse Electronics) from Germany.

I have a set of regular sized Firebird pickups from D'Urbano, they're fantastic. I didn't realize (or had forgotten) he made big ones too. My only concern is the time they took to ship the last time, it was worse even than when I've ordered stuff from China.
I'll look into the Tonabnehmers, thanks!

I was going to say that sounds like something Tim at Sunday Handwould could do.
Then I realized that it's actually an on-menu item right on the site.
