Product Info
* Prices may vary. Check retailer for current pricing and availability.
The 60X Black is a solid choice if you’re after a more aggressive, modern tone with enhanced clarity. It's perfect for rock, metal, or even funk where you want a bit more bite and sustain than your standard humbucker can offer – think a more articulate, powerful version of a classic 57/60. The included pot makes the install pretty straightforward, too.

Frequently Asked Questions
The 60X has a brighter, more articulate tone and slightly higher output due to the new preamp design, offering a more aggressive overall sound.
The potentiometer is a standard 25k audio taper, generally compatible, but optimal results are achieved with a pot specifically designed for active pickups.
The clip is designed for relatively easy access, usually through the pickup cavity, though the exact location depends on the guitar's construction.
