Does anyone know if the stock Dimarzios humbuckers in the 20th Anniversary Silhouette are the same as in the regular Silhouette?

For me I replaced the bridge pick up on my AL SSS with a Seymour Duncan Twang Banger. It has a little more punch and less glass than the stock. The stock wasn't bad but I think the banger fits better.

The only EBMM's I have personal experience with are the Axis SS, Silo 20th, and Silo Special.

For dirty, hands down is the Axis bridge pickup for me. The neck is pretty cool too. I don't care for the Silo Special pickups. The 20th in all positions rules for clean tone, but it's a little too bright for me with medium-to-high gain sounds.

It's a cover!

I'm surprised to hear that; I figured it would be a warmer guitar, considering the construction. I guess I will need to try it for myself!

Between the Sub, Luke, and ASS, I will say I love the Sub bridge for crunch, the Axis bridge for lead, and the Luke for everything. Also I need a Silo.

I thought they would be very similar... Isn't the twang banger the closest pickup to the AL bridge available for purchase?
