Description
Seymour Duncan APH-2b Slash Bridge Zbr 4-Conductor SE Pickup
The APH-2b Slash Bridge SE captures the aggressive, focused tone that cuts through dense mixes in the studio. Built with Alnico 2 magnets and engineered for direct mounting via short ears, this pickup installs securely without modification across a wider range of guitar cavities. The 4-conductor wiring unlocks coil-splitting, series/parallel switching, and phase-reversal options—expanding your tonal palette within a single bridge position for maximum session versatility.
Tone & Construction
A DC Resistance of 8.53 kΩ paired with a 6 kHz resonant peak produces tight, articulate highs and controlled lows that sit naturally in a mix without muddiness. The EQ signature of 7 bass, 5 mids, 8 treble emphasizes clarity and definition for recording. Construction includes nickel silver bottom plate, braided lead wire, maple spacer, paper tape, and full wax potting for consistent tracking performance and noise rejection.
Recording Performance & Wiring Options
The Short Ear (SE) mounting design accommodates a wider variety of instrument builds, streamlining setup in the studio. Four-conductor architecture enables advanced switching configurations—split the coils for single-coil articulation, series/parallel blending, or reverse-polarity tones. This gives you far more range than standard dual-conductor designs, allowing you to craft multiple tonal characters within a single session or overdub pass.
