Seymour Duncan APH-2B Humbucker, SLASH Model, Bridge

Though he has dozens of amazing guitars, since 1986 Slash has used pretty much one very special Gibson® Les Paul® for all recording. The Alnico II Pro Slash was designed to give Slash's other Gibson® Les Paul® guitars-what he calls his "live guitars"-the exact tone of this legendary instrument.

Application

Warm, moderate output humbucker. Recommended for jazz, blues, and classic rock.

Description

Like the standard APH-1 Alnico II Pro, this pickup uses an Alnico 2 magnet. However, the Slash model is wound with just enough boosted output to push a stock Gibson® Les Paul® toward the sweet sustain and rude crunch that characterizes Slash's sound as heard on hundreds of tracks. In addition, it comes with some of the same appointments found on the Seymour Duncan pickups in Slash's '86 recording axe, including single-conductor cable, long-legged bottom plate, and wooden spacer. For the true fan, or the player who wants to capture Slash's recorded tone, this pickup is a critical part of the tone chain. This is same pickup found in the newest Gibson® Les Paul® Slash model.

Guitars

While designed for use in a Gibson® Les Paul® , this pickup works well in any well-balanced humbucker-equipped guitar. Also works great with hollow and semi-hollow body guitars.

Available in black, zebra, or reverse zebra. The infamous Slash recording guitar has a reverse zebra pickup in the bridge position and a zebra pickup in the neck position. This pickup is available individually or in the zebra/reverse zebra set.
