Seymour Duncan

A warm, moderate-output humbucker pickup set designed to produce Slash's unique recorded guitar tone.

The Seymour Duncan APH-2s Alnico II Pro Slash Humbucker Electric Guitar Pickup Set honors guitar hero Slash with his first signature pickups. The tone of this pickup set will be familiar to anyone who has heard Slash's recorded tone. Though he has dozens of amazing guitars, since 1986 Slash has pretty much used one very special Les Paul for all of his recordings. The Alnico II Pro Slash was designed to give Slash's other Les Paul guitars (what he calls his "live guitars") the exact tone of his legendary guitar.

Like the standard APH-1 Alnico II Pro, which Slash has used for years, the Slash APH-2 set uses Alnico 2 magnets. However, the Alnico II Pro Slash is wound with just enough boosted output to push a stock Les Paul toward the sweet sustain and rude crunch that characterize Slash's sound. In addition, Seymour Duncan enhances the APH-2 pickups with some of the same appointments found on the Duncan pickups seen in Slash's '86 recording axe: a single-conductor cable, a long-legged bottom plate, and a wooden spacer. For true fans, or for players who want to capture Slash's recorded tone, these Seymour Duncan pickups are a critical part of the tone chain. These are same pickups found in the newest Gibson Slash model Les Paul guitar.

With the ubiquitous top hat and shades, a mop of black curls obscuring his face, and a blazing electric guitar tone blasting through a wall of amps, Slash epitomizes the very reasons we first air-strummed a low-slung tennis racquet in the privacy of our bedroom. For over 3 decades Slash has relied on Seymour Duncan pickups for his guitar tone.

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

Complete setup:
The Slash aficionado will use a pair of these pickups to capture that unmistakable tone. This pickup matches well with the SFX-11 Twin Tube Blue all-tube overdrive-distortion stompbox (sold separately) for singing leads and authoritative chording.

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

The Alnico II Pro Slash is hand built in Seymour Duncan's Santa Barbara, California workshop and includes all mounting hardware. Recommended for the neck and bridge position.

Slash pickups

| Review By: Dave-GhPoH | 1 month, 2 weeks ago

1 people out of 1 found this review helpful

Features:

If you get the pair, you will sound like Slash on AFD (and Use Your Illusion).  If you have the chops and install them in an LP Standard w/traditional "weight-relieved" body.  50's wiring with 2 volume and 2 tones (Sprague .022 "Orange Drop" cap).   Play that straight through a Marshall VM with overdrive, you'll be amazed.  Surprised Slash shared the secret.

Put these pup's in an Epiphone Les Paul Standard. The sound is so amazing that I didn't want to stop playing. Sounds like a totally different guitar. You can't go wrong with these. I just might be purchasing another set for another guitar.

Yes, these are slash's pickups and now they can be yours!. The price?....its like you stole them from him, cause these pickups WILL make you sound and make your (Les paul preferebly) guitar look just like slash's. They have that rude and nasty sound you hear on EVERY slash record(including snakepit). IF YOU WANT TO SOUND LIKE SLASH JUST BUY THESE BABIES RIGHT HERE(doesn't mean you'll PLAY like slash)

purchased these taking out my S. Duncan Antiquitys of my Les Paul custom and peeerfect even before my sprague orange drop capacitors came in mail nails his tone head on. I trusted them from b4 they came guitarists like Slash,Jimmy Page,Clapton,etc. won't stick their name on just anything if you love to practice his riffs and solos but even with a high dollar best of all vintage gibson this is edge your looking for and teh reason he did them with duncan is because like me he knows burstbuckers by gibson are great but you cant beat a seymour duncan p/u to really tone it out go on ebay for around 10.00 you can change ur ceramic disc caps to a set of Sprague orange-drops not a must like the pickups but tones out even better,  awesome with no holds barred, no limits to were you can take these things even put a set in my PRS Custom SE and RNFnR forever if ur a tone nut like myself, thanks Slash and Duncan.

Knocking on Heaven's door!

I recently bought these pickups and swapped them into my Gibson Les Paul traditional Pro and changed the pull pots to 500K pots and WOW. Now mind you I was trying to look for a way to get slash's tone and with my LP these pickups are it!! These  pickups nail slash's tone perfectly even with ceramic capacitors. These pickups nail the tone and articulation of every note in Paradise City to the warmth of Knocking on Heaven's door and Estranged through my Marshall JCM2000 TSL. Say what you will about Gibson pickups, but Seymour Duncan to me really are the best when it comes down to making pickups, and its why I swear by them. These pickups were everything I wanted a more blues based tone, slash's tone, and articulation of every note with a little more bite and substance to chords. The notes sound rounder, warmer and more organic.
