Installing a Dimarzio X2N in my LTD
Installing a Dimarzio X2N in my LTD
go on Di Marzio's website , they have all wiring diagrams right there . Also they have all kinda options , including your 5 way switch etc .
I put a Di Marzio in my guitar a few days ago and it's as simple as with any other pick up .
black -> hot
red & white -> soldered together
bare & green -> soldered to ground
I think that was the way I installed it . normally u get an manual when buying a pick up , if u don't have maybe u could go to your dealer and he can help u out .
but I think u should be fine with the wiring diagrams on their website
Hmm, kinda doubting if I should go through the trouble of install it them.. I like the HZ's fine for jamming at home.
I went to the Dimarzio site for the wire diagrams and filled out some info about the guitar and got a list of like 20 possible wirings :p
well it's up to u , but I really wouldn't call it "trouble" . installing a pickup is easier than it sounds right now . first I wanted it to be installed for me too cause I was afraid I'd do something wrong or imprecise . however , buying solder and soldering iron still didn't cost me as much as some guitartec putting it in .
actually there should be a diagram for every way of tone or volume poti , however ....
don't be a cunt , do it !! :p
Also remember to keep it lower than a typical pickup as they are rediculously powerful, many get the same issue with the duncan invader and dont like how they sound a little tweaking usually solves any muddiness...
I dont think you would hate it in that guitar plenty of people use them in alder/maple guitars...
If you dont want it though! sell it to me!
I have tried the x2n and didn't care for it but I would like it over the hz. I would think it will be louder. When I tried one it was super hot, I just thought it was to treble/piercing. The wiring code should be on the dimarzio website. Good luck
