Description
Seymour Duncan Slash 2.0 Neck Humbucker Reverse Zebra Pickup
The Slash 2.0 Neck Humbucker captures articulate, balanced output with excellent clarity and sustain—a refined evolution of the original Slash signature model. The reverse zebra coil configuration offers distinctive aesthetics while maintaining the controlled, musical response that defined the design. This pickup excels in recording sessions and mix contexts where definition matters as much as power, translating effectively through both console chains and direct-to-DAW workflows.
Tone & Recording Character
Built with Alnico II magnets, this neck humbucker produces a warm yet focused tone with smooth midrange and natural compression that sits well in dense arrangements. The 8.8 kΩ DC resistance positioning keeps output moderate enough for crystal-clear articulation without sacrificing body or sustain, making it equally effective for layered lead work and rhythm tracking.
Construction & Studio Integration
Hand-built in Santa Barbara using meticulous construction standards, each pickup is individually crafted for consistency and reliability across tracking sessions. The reverse zebra coil finish combines striking visual appeal with proven performance, while the standard one-conductor braided shield cable ensures clean signal transmission with minimal noise—critical for capturing transparent recordings and maintaining studio-ready output levels into most humbucker-routed guitars.
