Pick up delema!

I have a Dimarzio Air Norton for a neck but no Matching bridge. I have heard air classics are good, anyone have them?
 
Air Norton works well in the neck with a relatively strong bridge pickup.
Air Classics are vintage output, though.

So when pairing them, I'd put the Air Norton at the bridge and use the Air Classic as neck pickup.
(Air Classic neck is preferable, but if you already have a bridge version that should do just fine at the neck with an Air Norton.)
 
I have that pickup in the bridge of one of my Hamers. Me like bery bery much!
What body style ? They are suppose to work well in bright body style guitars.
The only ones I have that fit that style are strats. I do have a 80's BC Rich strat style guitar body. I would like to get put together.
 
However I put in a double thick Ceramic like a Dimarzio Super dist. So it is a Mr. Potato Head Custom.
Yeah, that's not a problem. I usually pay what I think they are worth. It's a platform for change.
I have several now . Seymour makes to many customs. Kind of generic tittle.
It is also a fact A2 are well liked.
With all the ones I have , I might one othe with a A2. I have UO A5 mag. ready to go.

Edit, not sure why I replied to you Mr. Potato Head when it should have been to Steve's post.
Carry on.

The Hamer is like a double cut LP: 24 3/4 scale mahogany neck and body with a maple cap.

Looks like I spitted out some fake news! The pickup that I thought was the SH11 Custom Custom, is actually the SH16 '59/Custom Hybrid (A5 mag)!

Oh fake news, also on all TV channels. Lol

Funny thing , when I was about 16 (1976) or shortly after. I got a brand new at the time on the west coast the Dimarzio Super Distortion DP100. It was hot and to my knowledge was the first aftermarket humbucker.
I would bet money EVH had one around that time.
 
Be interested on your take of that particular pickup. I ended up swapping magnets out in that one. Doesn't mean you won't love it.
The pickup in question SH11. DOA.
I pulled the cover and bobbin looked like a dog chewed it up. The wires are are all spliced and shrink wrapped. Tape gone.
The screws were adjusted out to appear they were the right height. It's a mess.
