What’s the story with
7-string guitarists? They always want more: more strings, more bass
response, more notes to play with and - of course - more power. Okay,
we got the message. The X2N 7 is the answer. If you’re looking for
pretty sound, don’t go here. If you’re looking for pretty crazy, this
is it. Like the original 6-string model, the X2N 7 is ridiculously
loud, but we’ve totally re-designed the coils to capture the entire
frequency response of all seven strings. And for players who experience
occasional moments of sanity, the parallel humbucking and split coil
modes are available for cleaner and quieter sounds.
We were
concerned that a pickup as hot as the X2N would make the seventh string
sound too muddy, but we've recently come up with a new way to use our
dual resonance coil design to solve the problem. There's a tremendous
amount of power focused on the center of the guitar's frequency range,
but spreading out the tuning of the two coils allows the sound to open
up more than a standard high-output pickup could, and this also allows
the seventh string to stay relatively tight.
