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

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

The APH-1n delivers a balanced, articulate voice that sits naturally in the neck position without sacrificing clarity or definition. Hand-built in Santa Barbara, this Alnico II Pro humbucker combines vintage warmth with modern consistency, making it a go-to choice for players seeking mid-range punch and responsive dynamics across a wide range of styles.

Tone & Output Character

A 7.6 kΩ DC resistance and 7.1 kHz resonant peak give this pickup a smooth, controlled response with emphasis on the midrange presence. The EQ curve of 7/4/8 (Bass/Mid/Treble) skews toward articulate highs and solid bass weight while keeping mids assertive—ideal for cutting through in a mix without sounding thin or brittle. On stage, the midrange focus keeps your tone defined and present even in dense mixes.

Live Performance & Reliability

Wax potting eliminates microphonic feedback and squeal, ensuring rock-solid stability even at high volumes or with aggressive playing dynamics—critical for consistent live performance night after night. The nickel silver bottom plate contributes to the pickup's tonal character while the Alnico II bar magnet provides the harmonic complexity and natural compression players expect from this magnet type, delivering predictable feel and response every time you take the stage.
