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

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

The APH-1b Alnico II Pro delivers articulate, punchy midrange response with smooth treble definition—a versatile humbucker that bridges vintage warmth and modern clarity. The zebra coil configuration adds visual distinction while the Alnico 2 magnet structure produces balanced output ideal for both lead work and rhythm tones.

Tone & Response

A 6.7 kHz resonant peak and 8.8 kΩ bridge resistance create focused presence without harshness, while the 7/4/8 EQ balance (Bass/Mid/Treble) emphasizes controlled low-end and articulate highs. The Alnico 2 bar magnet yields naturally compressed sustain with responsive dynamics across the fretboard.

Live Reliability & Installation

Factory wax potting eliminates microphonic feedback for tight, controlled response in high-gain applications and onstage unpredictability. The nickel silver bottom plate preserves clarity while the 4-conductor lead wire enables flexible wiring options, and the included four-conductor hookup cable simplifies drop-in installation on standard or Trembucker spacing routes.
