RR1 w/ X2N

[guitarsjb]

Hey,
I dropped an X2N into my RR1..just wanted to say WOW!! I think the tone is much fuller and heavier. I love it. I put X2N's in everything and have yet to be disappointed. Plus, it looks kick ass!! Major props to Scott, (Stuka) for the X2N.

That looks awesome,,I should put one in mine...

Dude, that w/b pickup looks sharp in that RR ! I found the X2N a little harsh, but the difference in guitars may have something to do with that.

[KBRR]

Wow that does look cool ... i have never tried an X2N but i think it wold be alittle harsh for me .. i play metal but i like a cleaner sound .. maybe i will try one some day . anyways guitar looks awesome

[guitarsjb]

Thanks guys. It's really not that harsh. Does cleans just fine. I guess it depends on the guitar.

Does look cool.
Why do people put their guitars, V's even! on concrete and stone tile and shit, can someone please tell me, i just don't get it. I seem to see it a lot, it makes me cringe every time

I have an X2N that I've tried in a few different guitars. The funny thing is, is that it sounded very different in each guitar I had it in. In my Model 2 it sounded OK, not much different than a Super Distortion. I've put it in my Les Paul, my Model 375 and even a Jackson Dinky, and I was ok with it but not totally happy. But I recently tried it in my SG and now I can say WOW, it opened up the sound on that guitar tremendously. I really love it in there. It has a type of "growl" now that I wanted to get but couldn't with the other pickups I tried. Cleans are very nice too. With my SG now, I can get that Sabbath type sound I was looking for. I love it.

The only guitar I didn't try it in was my RR3, only because I have a set of EMG's (81 & 85) in there that I will not touch, it's that good. Maybe I should get another RR and put in another X2N, Hmmmmmm.........

Glad you could put it to good use. It looks awesome. Did you put the cream one in a guitar yet?

[Bodomhc]

It looks killer,what does it sound like in a comparison to an emg 81.

Sure did Scott, it's in that Epiphone I have. I posted pics of it under "Guitars by other manufacturers"

That's cool Jeri. It looks good. Everyone has to find a pickup that works for them. Mine happens to be the Duncan Custom. I don't think I've ever even tried an X2N. I'm more of an SD guy. I had a Dimebucker in my RR, and that sounded GODLY!!

What did you pull out? A JB? If so, I could see it being a big change.

At first I didn't like the JB in my SL2H, but now I really dig it.

Never tried the X2N yet. I have a RR1 from 1995 with OEM Bill Lawrence USA pickups in it, and it sound great.

[Roidster]

X2N's are in all my guitars

I agree it makes me cringe as well!

Anyway back tot the topic. The X2N looks great on the RR1

P.S. Get some of the rubber "handle bar" thingy's to put on the tips I got some off a guy on eBay. They work great.
