Description
Seymour Duncan Slash 3.0 Raw Nickel Pickup Set
The Slash 3.0 Raw Nickel set captures the punchy, articulate response essential for hard rock and high-gain recording sessions. Hand-built in Santa Barbara with vintage-spec materials and modern potting techniques, these humbuckers deliver aggressive midrange clarity with controlled low-end punch—the tonal foundation for cutting through dense mixes and maintaining definition during layered rhythm and lead overdubs.
Tone & Output
The neck pickup measures 8.8K ohms while the bridge sits at 9.62K ohms, creating a balanced yet slightly hotter bridge response ideal for lead tracking without sacrificing neck-pickup articulation in rhythm work. Rough cast Alnico 5 magnets paired with vacuum wax-potting ensure tight, feedback-free tracking at volume while preserving natural harmonic complexity for natural-sounding recordings across multiple takes.
Design & Construction
Nickel silver bottom plates and wood spacers deliver the classic appointments of high-end vintage designs, while the hand-built construction in Santa Barbara maintains quality control at every step. Configuration flexibility allows selection of single- or four-conductor wiring, standard or Trembucker spacing, and long- or short-leg options to match your instrument's specifications and session requirements.
