Description
Seymour Duncan APH-2n Slash Reverse Zebra Neck Pickup
The APH-2n is a neck-position humbucker engineered to deliver the warm, articulate voice that defined Slash's signature tone throughout his most iconic recordings. This Reverse Zebra variant pairs a ceramic magnet with Alnico II construction for a balanced output that sits perfectly in the mix without sacrificing clarity or sustain. Built for studio work and session play that demand vintage character with controlled modern responsiveness, this pickup excels in capturing both lead and rhythm takes across rock, blues, and hard rock productions.
Tonal Character & Frequency Response
The APH-2n centers its presence peak at 6.4 kHz, positioning it in the sweet spot for articulate note definition while maintaining smooth, singing sustain. With an EQ profile of 7 (bass) / 5 (mid) / 8 (treble), this neck pickup balances warm lows and punchy highs, making it equally suited to thick rhythm tones and soaring lead lines that cut through a dense mix with clarity and presence.

A 7.92 kΩ DC resistance ensures moderate output without aggressive compression, allowing for transparent signal chain integration and multi-tracking flexibility. The Alnico II bar magnet provides the responsive, touch-sensitive dynamics that characterize Seymour Duncan's most celebrated designs, ideal for capturing nuanced performance variations in the studio. The pickup features a long-legged bottom plate and wooden spacer for stable installation and precise magnetic interaction with your strings.
