Seymour Duncan Slash APH-2N Neck Humbucker – Black Nickel, 4-Conductor

Slash is known for some of the most iconic riffs, licks, and solos in rock ’n’ roll. To recreate the ferocious tone heard on classic Guns N’ Roses records, Velvet Revolver, and his solo albums, Slash teamed up with Seymour Duncan to develop his signature Slash humbuckers.

When Slash received the honour of his own Gibson Les Paul Signature model, Seymour Duncan supplied the same Alnico 2 Pro humbuckers he had relied on for decades. The new guitars, however, sounded noticeably different from the original AFD Les Paul. Seymour Duncan took on the challenge and created a new pickup that would push a stock Les Paul toward the familiar sustain, crunch, and midrange character of Slash’s original Derrig Les Paul copy. The result is the Slash Signature Model humbucker.

Classic Slash Tone, Built Like the Originals

• Neck position passive humbucker voiced for singing sustain, crunch, and rich midrange
• Based on the Alnico 2 Pro platform Slash has used for decades
• Hand built in Santa Barbara, USA
• Nickel silver bottom plate, maple spacer, paper tape, and wax potting for stability and reliability
• Crafted the same way Seymour Duncan built the originals in the 1980s

In case you were wondering, the same APH-2 humbuckers you buy are exactly what Slash’s tech, Ace Bergman, installs in Slash’s own guitars. When Slash needs new APH-2s, they are pulled straight from production stock.
