Description
Seymour Duncan Slash 2.0 Neck Humbucker Nickel 4-Conductor SE Pickup
The Slash 2.0 Neck Humbucker captures a hotter, more aggressive voice than its predecessor while maintaining the articulate midrange and smooth response essential for defining neck position character in a mix. The 4-conductor wiring unlocks flexible configuration options—coil splitting, series/parallel switching, and phase inversion—giving you multiple tonal textures from a single pickup during tracking and mixing. Handmade in Santa Barbara with premium materials and a rough-cast Alnico 2 magnet, this is a serious upgrade for recording applications demanding enhanced output and sonic versatility.
Design & Construction
Built with a nickel silver base plate, maple spacer, paper tape, and wax casting, this pickup is engineered for durability and consistent performance across sessions. The short mounting brackets accommodate flat-top guitars and thinner bodies with direct-to-body installation, making it a practical retrofit for most modern instruments without requiring extensive modification.
Recording Performance & Switching Options
The hotter winding delivers more signal headroom during recording than the original APH-2, providing increased sustain and clarity while the Alnico 2 magnet preserves articulation and definition needed for detailed tracking. The 4-wire connector enables switching between series and parallel coil configurations plus phase adjustment within a single session, expanding your recording palette and mix flexibility without requiring multiple pickups or takes.
