Re: DiMarzio Air Zone vs. Breed
Both of those pickups are really great pickups. The Breed is a touch more middy, and stronger. But the Air Zone has some of the lower-mid compression of the Tone-Zone. Both these pickups would be great in lighter guitars you want to darken a bit without that loss of articulation that comes in pickups that have compression or pickups that are just too powerful.
No preference here, I have heard a few Air Zone's and they are fantastic pickups, and work great with amps that have gobs of gain.
A Breed, which is hotter, will get a bit muddy in an extremely high-gain situation. A Breed is just a smidge cooler than a Tone Zone, and has more of the characteristics of a bassy PAF(No compression like the TZ). Sometimes it reminds me of an Invader, albeit a bit weaker, and smoother, with the Dimarzio sound.
The Air Zone isn't a weak pickup at all, it is as strong or stronger than 70% of the pickups out there.
You really cannot go wrong with either. I have the Breed in a Jackson and it is a fantastic pickup.

Re: DiMarzio Air Zone vs. Breed
the air zone is more focused than the breed bridge
the breed neck model is actually better than both of those for the bridge spot

Re: DiMarzio Air Zone vs. Breed
why is that? because of the not so heavy mids and bass EQ of the neck version?
ive heard this before from other people as well.
peace out
