Seymour Duncan APH-2s Slash Alnico II Pro Humbucker Nickel Cover, SET

Seymour Duncan APH-2s Slash Alnico II Pro Humbucker Nickel Cover, SET Pickup

The APH-2s Slash Alnico II Pro humbuckers capture the classic high-output warmth and sustain essential for hard rock and metal tracking sessions. This matched set balances aggressive bridge articulation with a controlled, slightly compressed neck voice—allowing both lead and rhythm elements to sit distinctly in dense arrangements while maintaining note clarity across sustained passages.

Tone & Construction

Alnico II magnets paired with long-legged base plates and vacuum wax potting produce a thick, vocal midrange with smooth treble roll-off that translates well to recording. The wooden spacer and nickel silver bottom plate contribute harmonic character, while single-conductor braided-shield wiring minimizes noise for cleaner recording signals and easier mixing chains.

Electrical Specifications

Bridge DC resistance of 8.9k ohms and neck DC resistance of 8.3k ohms position these pickups in the high-output range, with neck and bridge resonant peaks at 6.4 kHz and 6 kHz respectively. The balanced EQ profile (7 bass / 5 mid / 8 treble) emphasizes clarity and punch across the frequency spectrum, supporting fast tracking and precise overdub placement.
