Seymour Duncan APH-2n Slash Humbucker Nickel 4-Conductor SE Pickup

Seymour Duncan APH-2n Slash Humbucker Nickel 4-Conductor SE Pickup

The APH-2n is a medium-high output neck humbucker engineered to capture articulate, singing sustain with controlled midrange presence. Hand-built in Santa Barbara, this pickup delivers the classic Slash tone—warm and focused without excessive aggression—making it ideal for tracking and mixing sessions where that iconic Les Paul character across rock, blues, and hard rock needs to sit cohesively in the mix.

Tone & Recording Character

Built on an Alnico II magnet and wax-potted coils, the APH-2n produces a medium-high output level that balances clarity with sustain through the tracking chain. The result is a pickup that cuts through dense arrangements without sacrificing definition, essential for neck position work where warmth and note separation translate directly to the final mix.

Construction & Studio Wiring Flexibility

The nickel silver bottom plate with long mounting legs ensures secure, consistent seating in most guitar cavities, while the 4-conductor SE cable provides flexible wiring options for coil-tapping and phase switching during session work. Maple spacer construction and paper-tape potting contribute to the pickup's resonant character and reliable long-term stability across multiple recording sessions.
