Seymour Duncan APH-1b Alnico II Pro Humbucker White Pickup

Seymour Duncan APH-1b Alnico II Pro Humbucker White Pickup

The APH-1b delivers the articulate, punchy character that defined classic rock tones—a bridge humbucker engineered for clarity and definition without sacrificing sustain. Hand-built in Santa Barbara, this pickup pairs traditional Alnico 2 magnets with modern wax potting to eliminate microphonic feedback and unwanted squeal. Gigging musicians and touring players will appreciate the reliable consistency and dependable performance night after night.

Tone & Output Character

The 7.6 kOhm DC resistance and 7.1 kHz resonant frequency create a balanced output with tight low-end definition and clear articulation across the midrange—ideal for riff-driven playing and lead work. This resistance spec places the APH-1b in the mid-output range, delivering enough presence to push a stage amp without sacrificing note separation, making it a solid choice for venues large and small.

Build & Configuration

Four-conductor wiring enables series, parallel, split, and other custom configurations to adapt the pickup to your specific circuit needs. The nickel silver bottom plate contributes to the pickup's tonal character while the wax-potted construction ensures squeal-free operation under high gain or feedback-prone conditions—essential reliability for live performance.
