Description
Seymour Duncan APH-2b Slash Alnico II Pro Humbucker Gold Cover Pickup
The APH-2b delivers the thick, articulate bridge-position tone that defined one of rock's most recognizable guitar voices. This Alnico II humbucker sits at the intersection of vintage warmth and modern clarity, offering solid output without sacrificing note definition. Built to the exacting standards Seymour Duncan established for signature gear, it's the choice for players chasing that full, singing sustain.
Tone & Output
At 8.9k ohms DC resistance, the APH-2b generates enough output to drive amp front-ends hard while maintaining the sweetness Alnico II magnets are known for. The bridge position configuration delivers tight lows and vocal midrange that cut through a mix without harshness, making it equally at home in high-gain and blues-rock contexts on stage.
Design & Construction
The pickup employs long-legged base plates for secure, rattle-free mounting in demanding gigging situations, a wooden spacer, and nickel silver bottom plate construction that contributes to its resonant character. Vacuum wax potting ensures consistent performance night after night and eliminates microphonic feedback under load, while the single-conductor braided shield wiring integrates cleanly into most guitar harnesses and hums quietly on stage.
