Description
Seymour Duncan Slash 2.0 Neck Humbucker Raw Nickel Pickup
The Slash 2.0 Neck Humbucker captures articulate, controlled voicing optimized for neck-position clarity and sustain in the mix. This hand-built pickup balances vintage character with modern refinement, offering smooth midrange definition without excessive output that clouds harmonic detail. Built to exacting standards in Santa Barbara, it pairs naturally with bridge humbuckers for cohesive set performance across recording sessions.
Recording Tone & Output Character
An 8.8k ohms DC resistance positions this pickup in the moderate-output range, preserving note articulation and string separation ideal for both clean and driven recording contexts. The Alnico 2 rough cast magnet contributes warm, organic breakup characteristics with responsive dynamic range that captures pick dynamics and finger technique accurately through your interface and preamp chain.
Construction & Materials
Hand-built assembly in Santa Barbara ensures consistent quality control throughout production. The nickel silver bottom plate with long mounting legs provides secure seating and tonal stability, while wax potting eliminates microphonics for clean signal delivery during recording. Supporting materials—maple spacer, single conductor braided lead wire, and paper tape—contribute to the pickup's balanced frequency response and durability through extended session work.
