Seymour Duncan APH-2b Slash Bridge Reverse Zebra 4-Conductor SE Pickup

Seymour Duncan APH-2b Slash Bridge Reverse Zebra Pickup

The APH-2b is Slash's signature bridge pickup, engineered to deliver the thick, articulate tones that defined his most iconic recordings. Hand-built with vintage construction methods and paired with Alnico II magnets, this pickup sits confidently in the bridge position with enough output and midrange character to cut through a live mix without losing definition. The Reverse Zebra cosmetic finish—cream slug coil with black screw coil—adds visual distinction to any instrument.

Tone & Output

A DC resistance of 8.53 kΩ and resonant peak at 6 kHz create a presence peak that emphasizes clarity and punch, while the EQ curve of 7/5/8 (Bass/Mid/Treble) balances a controlled low end with pronounced highs for snap and articulation. This voicing excels at both sustained lead tones and rhythmic definition, making it equally at home in blues, hard rock, and classic rock applications.

Construction & Materials

Built by hand using paper tape and wax potting, the APH-2b features a nickel silver base plate with long mounting legs for secure installation and reliable stage performance, plus a maple spacer that contributes to the pickup's overall tonal character. The single-conductor braided shield cable provides easy integration into standard wiring schemes without unnecessary complexity.
