So I think for passive pickups in my Charvel instead of going the Seymour Duncan route because I already have 2 guitars with Seymour Duncan's in them, going with a Tone Zone trembucker in black and a Air Norton S single coil sized humbucker for the neck? What do you think 🤔
 
I just came across this video, doesn't sound bad and kind of gives an idea of what the Tone Zone bridge and Air Norton S neck sounds like

 
I wouldn't do the ToneZone, man.
It came originally in my Charvel So-Cal Pro Mod (alder body, maple neck) and it has this slightly flubby character in the lows.
A DiMarzio Norton is a lot better, has awesome crunch and harmonics and tight lows.

Air Norton S could work; but if you find that one too thick (which I found in one of my Hamer Californians, which I've since sold), the DiMarzio Chopper is a better option; you may lose a bit of the thick liquidy lead sound, but you'll gain more open-ness and character.
