Um, shouldn't this be "which one will probably sound good..."? That's what I look for in a pickup...

Cosmetically, I'd go something white, but as for X2N vs SD Customs, go by which you prefer the tone of, now which looks better, as they're VERY different sounding pickups.

I know Drew, they are both equally as good to me though. I've had experience with both, and I like both. So now, it comes down to which ones look better in the body/with the paint. I can't decide one over the other for sound, as I said they are equal to me.

The all black and the white with black stripe pickups look great on that guitar.

I vote black just to be a rebel.

But in all seriousness, after some careful consideration, I would go with the white pickups.

Hooray! 100th post.
