Seymour Duncan Slash 3.0 Gold 4-Conductor SE Pickup Set
The Slash 3.0 Gold pickup set delivers the tighter, more articulate response that cuts through dense mixes and sits precisely in a session. Hand-built in Santa Barbara using premium materials, these pickups are engineered to capture immediate attack and controlled low-end definition without sacrificing warmth or sustain—essential for recording guitars that hold their own alongside drums and bass.

Built with rough cast Alnico 5 magnets, nickel silver bottom plates, and wood spacers, these pickups combine traditional construction methods with modern winding precision. The vacuum wax-potted design ensures stability and eliminates microphonic feedback, critical for capturing clean takes and maintaining tonal consistency across multiple passes and overdubs.
