I have a couple of High Order pickups that are wound to be EVH-ish. He wound me an Alnico 2, and his favorite Alnico 5. They both sound nice, but I prefer the Alnico 2. My favorite Brown Sound pickups are the Duncan EVH and the Ibanez Super 70.

Are they production models or custom for you? Got a link?

Well, they say "Custom Wound For" on the baseplate, but the first was just his well-publicized Alnico 2 with asymmetrical EVH wind. They were all the rage here for awhile. Jeff said he preferred the A5 for EVH, so I had him wind one of those for me as well. I'm not sure if he's still around or not. If he is, go for the A2. :thumbsup:

Manlius and ECP Pickups don't sell one per say, but I told them I wanted the early vh sound and both said slightly overwound paf with A2 magnet.

I dont know the actual pickup that was in his B/W strat but for the VH I tone the MM1400 or a real old duncan custom are the two that get me that tone the best/closest.
The 78 is fantastic for VH II and WACF but for the VH I tone it lacks aggression in the output and it does not have that tightness t the notes like after the A chord in eruption as heard here.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFFUDFn ... 6g&index=1
I can believe that eddie had several duncan winds/pu's, 13.5K custom for VH I,9K alnico 2 for VH II, 13.5K A2 for after the floyd was installed really makes sense too.
At this point i am convinced what eddie really had in his B/W strat will never been known,he would not remember and a photo proves little so all we can do is use what works for us.
