"the ultimate weapon of mass overdrive!!!!"

Value:
i have not seen one person with this pick-up. i am like the only person in my area who has one!!! worth the price!!

Desirability:
this pick-up looks mean!!!!! it has the perfect look for the shredding sound it can produce!!! poeple trip out when they see my guitar and look at the pick-ups and wonder?

Sound:
the sound of this pick-up is great. it has good harmonox and thrashes with overdrive. sounds better than other high output pick-ups, but becarful on the wiring, becuase you might get two much feedback which gets annoying after a while. i play death metal and this pick-up is what i needed. but i get to much feedback. high output amp is required.

Support:
the support was amazing. really good professional service.

Overall:
overall good but to much feed-back. i think i did a mistake on the wiring job!!

"If You Like the Old Megadeth Tone"

Feature:
the coils black color has worn away and the white bobbins are nicotine stained but it still works

Quality:
it was made between 1979-1982 I checked so it has worked for many years before i got it and i assume it will continue to work for many years

Value:
the price here is a bit higher than you can find but that happends

Desirability:
it's a pickup and a practical one if you want a high output middier and more trebel prominent tone

Sound:
For me it is perfect but not for many i play older thrash, black and death metal primarily I own one of the origonals on the bottom it says X2N Power Plus so it's old and not wax potted so it can feed back easily

Ease of Use:
if you like a thin sound its easy to get it to work with a bit of luck a drunken monkey with a soldering iron could wire it right

Support:
Very good I asked questions and they were answered very promptly

Overall:
i will replace my aged one with a new wax potted one and then supplement with a good neck pickup but over all i would change nothing about it

About This Product!
Description
The X2N is a take-no-prisoners, in-your-face humbucker. Twin, wide-bar pole pieces give the X2N a nasty, dangerous look - and rightly so. DiMarzio's highest gain pickup excels at thrashing your amplifier into screaming overdrive. Put one in the bridge position for a powerful boost in the voltage the amp sees from your guitar. The result is a hot sound with relentless drive. If your amp needs to see more gain in order to go over-the-top in the overdrive department, the X2N's output and EQ are focused to slam the signal through with authority. Not that the X2N is completely single-minded: 4-conductor wiring permits single-coil and parallel humbucking operation for a wide selection of hot, musical sounds.

Recommended for bridge position on solidbody guitars. Works for both standard and f-spaced bridges.

Tech Talk
The X2N works in any situation where maximum power and overdrive is required. The dual blade pole pieces create a very even, balanced sound. The X2N works best in combination with higher-output pickups. It can also combine well with the Fast Track 1, Chopper, and Pro Track. The split option is very effective, because a single X2N coil has similar performance parameters to many Strat-type pickups.
