Axis super sport - confirmation on original pickups?

[amigauser]

HI guys,

About to buy an Axis super sport. It has what looks like the original Zebra pickups, but just wanted to get your expert opinions on whether these pickups are the original Dimarzio's which I would hope that they are. The Axis super sport is from 2001.

Pics attached.

Thanks in advance.

Looks original but hard to tell, is that a hot rod red one? the saddles and bridge look really grungy

This is the Axis pickup labeling I have seen. It may mean nothing in your case but something for reference.

The pickups look fine to me, not all EVH pickups had white labels, and those ones had the red patent number sticker. You have the B1 stamp on the bridge pickup where it should be. Should have N1 or N2 on the neck pickup in a similar location.

Thanks guys, appreciate you putting my mind at ease cheers.

Those definitely look to be original pickups. I don't know if the foam under the pickups is, and I don't think I've seen that on other EBMM guitars. The strings might be original...

Definitely post some pictures once you get it all cleaned up.
