Seymour Duncan Set, Slash 2.0 Raw Nickel 4-Conductor SE Pickup

Seymour Duncan Slash 2.0 Raw Nickel 4-Conductor SE Pickup Set

The Slash 2.0 Raw Nickel pickups capture articulate midrange with natural breakup and sustain that responds transparently to pick dynamics and playing technique. Hand-built in Santa Barbara with vintage Alnico 2 magnets, this set produces a balanced, musical output across neck and bridge positions without artificial coloration. The exposed nickel silver bottom plates and maple spacers deliver the sonic transparency these pickups are known for, tracking fast transients and controlling bloom in dense mixes.

Design & Construction

Each pickup in this set is hand-built in Santa Barbara using nickel silver bottom plates, maple spacers, and wax potting for reliability and consistent studio-to-stage performance. The 4-wire connection enables coil splitting, serial/parallel switching, and phase reversal—essential for expanding your tonal palette during tracking and mixing sessions. Short mounting legs provide secure installation on most modern guitar bodies.

Tone & Performance

The Alnico 2 rough cast magnet in both pickups yields a warm, smooth response with excellent note definition and natural compression at higher volumes—valuable for recording sessions where consistency across multiple takes matters. With a bridge DC resistance of 9.38k ohm and neck resistance of 8.8k ohm, this pairing balances output and clarity—the bridge sits slightly hotter for cutting lead and rhythm tones while the neck maintains articulate, singing sustain that sits well in busy arrangements.
