The X2N is a powerhouse pickup – seriously hot and built for modern hard rock and metal. The coil-splitting is a surprisingly useful feature, allowing for some cleaner tones when needed. If you’re looking for a bridge pickup that cuts through a dense mix and delivers serious aggression, this is a solid choice.
