Description
Seymour Duncan APH-2s Slash Alnico II Pro Humbucker Black Nickel Cover, SET Pickup
The APH-2s Slash Alnico II Pro is a high-output passive humbucker set engineered to capture thick, articulate aggression with remarkable sustain and midrange presence that commands a mix. Designed in collaboration with Slash, these pickups deliver the signature tone heard on some of rock's most iconic recordings—combining raw power with defined note separation that sits distinctly in your session without getting lost in a dense arrangement.
Tone & Output Characteristics
Built with Alnico II magnets and winding specifications that yield 8.9k ohms (bridge) and 8.3k ohms (neck), the APH-2s generates substantial output while preserving clarity and dynamic response for accurate tracking and editing. The bridge pickup's aggressive bite pairs perfectly with the neck's warmer character, giving your recording sessions a versatile platform for everything from blues-rock to hard rock and metal without requiring multiple instruments to dial in the right tone.
Construction & Installation
These pickups feature single-conductor wiring with braided shield for noise rejection and long-legged base plates that provide secure mounting and solid tonal coupling for predictable, repeatable recordings. The wooden spacer and soldered connections ensure reliable performance and consistent tone transmission across multiple takes, while standard spacing accommodates most aftermarket and stock cavities on 6-string instruments for straightforward studio setup.
