Interesting..... Certainly looks that way. Would've been nice if you'd found this 6 months ago

Hey, nobody ever accused me of being fast! Not much info though marit . It seems a bit hotter than a Firebird one and goodness knows if it's constructed the Firebird way. Fascinating. A private message could get us more details.....

Due to musical differences I've decided I can't work with myself any more.

Good news. This is what the Chinese manufacturer says, "Yes P-3003 is humbuckers. We don't have the Gibson firebird sample so can't compare. We can make the P-3003 with Alnico magnets Also we can make it 2 or 4 wire. You can tell us what you want, we can make sample." Bad news is minimum order would be 100 pieces. Perhaps my pickup selling career starts here...I fancy that sample though.

Chili Music probably lives next door to an employee of KD Rising Guitar. Wee tip ! if you know anyone Chinese get them to do any deals. I know a Welshman that saved 30% by asking his Chinese wife to help and calling himself Mr Chan

Hmm.
I still have the original pickups from my Japanese Jazzmaster (that I should have never sold... but never mind about that)
Maybe I'll dismantle those and the pickups in my HB MS-60 VW and try to create some kind of pickup.

for those interested there are mini's here, and are complete with pickup rings and mounting screws. there alnico 5's and are a bit closer in output to the original ones.
