Like BP said in the Chapman video "You've got a room full of guitars, and no money!! @ 6:00"
Well, you know that MM is making their own pickups in house now, so...????

Gotta say, that's a pretty good fake. You have to really zoom in to see where the text doesn't quite line up.
Looks like you used The Tone Zone pup for the image.

Hah! It got me browsing around on DiMarzio's site to be sure. Thinking about swapping the pups in one of my SbMM Axis. The stock are hot, don't sound too bad, but certainly don't have the refinement of the pups in my EBMM Axis.
Any suggestions? Doesn't need to be identical to the EBMM Axis. I was eyeing the Titan bridge. And I love the look of the pup covers on my EBMM (BFR, so it has the chrome covers), so I may go with that style.

Well, if you want the closest thing that they make, that would be a Tone Zone Bridge and Air Norton Neck.
During the EVH Development, the two finalists were A and B. They were mostly identical except the A had mismatched coils, the "dual resonance" idea that Dimarzio developed. The B was matched coils.
EVH chose B. The A became The Tone Zone.

haha,...for a moment.... just ~4 weeks ago I bought a set of AL HH-buckers 2nd hand to fit them in my SUB1. They match that guitar perfectly - but I bought them because I knew of their exclusivity

To the O.P.: You suck!
tBone: In stock form, the TZ sounds nothing like the bridge pickup in my EVH. Air Norton isn't too far off of the neck in my EVH. I understand there are mods you can do to the TZ to make it "identical" to the Axis/EVH DiMarzio. But in stock form they simply don't compare in my experience - Which is 2 different TZ's in 3 different guitars.
A generic hot PAF is closer, IMO. And fwiw.
