Description
Seymour Duncan Slash 3.0 Black Nickel 4-Conductor SE Pickup Set
The Slash 3.0 delivers the articulate, balanced response that sits perfectly in dense mixes and cuts through ensemble recordings. This set combines aggressive midrange presence with controlled output, tracking cleanly across varying pick dynamics and playing intensities. Built to specification by Seymour Duncan's Santa Barbara workshop, these pickups integrate seamlessly into both classic and modern recording sessions.
Tone & Magnetic Design
Rough cast Alnico 5 magnets provide the harmonic complexity and sustain that translate well to tape and digital capture, while the vacuum wax-potted construction eliminates microphonic feedback and ensures stable, noise-free tracking. The wood spacers with traditional appointments maintain classic tonal character without unwanted coloration in the recording chain.
Configuration & Installation
4-conductor wiring supports series, parallel, and split configurations for tonal flexibility across different recording scenarios and mix requirements. Available in both Standard and Trembucker spacing with long- and short-leg options, these pickups integrate into modern and vintage guitar specifications without modification, streamlining your setup workflow.
