SIGNATURE PICKUPS APH-2
Seymour Duncan Slash signature pickups is based on the Alnico 2 Pro humbuckers. They used a different mag wire and winding spec that, when combined with the alnico 2 bar magnet, provided exactly what was needed to push a stock Les Paul toward that familiar sustain, crunch, and midrange that was so characteristic of the tone of Slash’s original Derrig Les Paul copy.
SIGNATURE PICKUPS Slash 2.0
Slash found a need for a hotter version of his pickups in live applications. Slash’s goal for the team was to deliver the “same tonality, same great clarity…but hotter” than his APH-2s. The Slash 2.0 Set is based off his APH-2 pickups, now with a hotter wind that provides the familiar sound he loves while pushing his amps with the perfect balance of volume, drive, and compression.
