Seymour Duncan APH-2s Slash Zbra 4-Conductor SE Pickup Set

Seymour Duncan APH-2s Slash Zebra 4-Conductor SE Pickup Set

The APH-2s Slash Zebra pickups deliver the aggressive, articulate character that defined a generation of hard rock tone. Designed in collaboration with Slash and introduced in 2007, this set captures the midrange punch and harmonic clarity essential to classic rock leads and rhythm work. The Alnico 2 magnets and balanced construction provide responsive dynamics across the neck and bridge positions without sacrificing sustain.

Tone & Output Character

A 280 output level positions these pickups in the moderate-to-hot range, translating to natural breakup and clarity when tracked through tube amp emulation, console preamps, or amp sims in your DAW. The frequency response signature—Bass: 6.5, Mid: 7.0, Treble: 5.0—emphasizes midrange presence and controlled highs, cutting through dense mixes while maintaining note definition on fast passages and complex chord voicings.

Design & Construction

Long-legged mounting legs accommodate various guitar cavity depths and set specifications, while the nickel silver bottom plate ensures consistent magnetic field strength and predictable tracking across overdubs. Potted in wax and fitted with a maple spacer, these pickups resist feedback and microphonic noise, delivering clean DI signals or mic'd cabinet tones suitable for layering and creative processing in production.
