Seymour Duncan APH-2b Slash Alnico II Pro Humbucker Reverse Zebra Pick

Seymour Duncan APH-2s Slash Alnico II Pro Humbucker Reverse Zebra Pickup

The APH-2s Alnico II Pro delivers the thick, articulate voice that defined Slash's signature tone across decades of recording and touring. This Reverse Zebra configuration pairs aggressive midrange clarity with smooth high-end response, making it equally at home in hard rock riffs and blues-inflected lead work. The uncovered coils expose the classic zebra-striped magnet design while contributing to the pickup's open, dynamic character.

Tonal Character & Frequency Response

Built on an Alnico II bar magnet, this humbucker achieves a balanced EQ profile (7/5/8 bass/mid/treble) that emphasizes presence without sacrificing warmth. The bridge position's 6 kHz resonant peak and neck position's 6.4 kHz peak provide articulate note definition across the fretboard, with DC resistance measurements of 8.53 kΩ (bridge) and 7.92 kΩ (neck) ensuring responsive dynamic range and natural compression that responds to playing intensity.

Construction & Installation

The long-legged base plate and wooden spacer contribute to the pickup's resonant character while offering secure, stable mounting. Wiring consists of a one-conductor braided shield with soldered connectivity, providing reliable shielding and straightforward installation in standard 6-string guitar cavities.
