Description
Seymour Duncan Slash 2.0 Nickel Pickup Set
The Slash 2.0 Nickel pickups deliver the articulate, mid-forward character essential for hard rock and metal recording sessions. Hand-built in Santa Barbara with vintage-inspired construction, this set captures clarity and sustain while maintaining the aggression needed to cut through dense mixes without losing definition. The nickel silver bottom plate and Alnico II magnet combination produces responsive dynamics that translate consistently across multitrack recordings and live-to-tape work.
Tone & Output Characteristics
The bridge pickup's 9.38k ohms DC resistance generates assertive output with controlled highs—ideal for rhythm tracking where clarity matters in a crowded frequency range. The neck's 8.8k ohms provides articulate, warm lead tones that stay present in the mix without harshness. This pairing works across everything from tight, punchy rhythm layers to singing sustain passages, with the Alnico II magnet delivering the harmonic complexity that sits distinctly in a professional mix without the brittle character of hotter aftermarket alternatives.
Construction & Design
Built with a nickel silver bottom plate, long mounting legs, and maple spacer, these pickups are engineered to exacting specifications using wax potting for stability and feedback rejection during studio sessions and single conductor braided lead wire for consistent signal integrity. The 4-conductor wiring configuration unlocks coil-splitting options, expanding your tonal palette across multiple song arrangements without changing gear mid-session.
