"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

Sound:
perfect! its just what i need for playing heavy metal! although im saying this it does have a poor clean sound so if you play softer music stay away from this!

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.
