Description
Seymour Duncan APH-2b Slash Bridge Zbr 4-Conductor SE Pickup
The APH-2b Slash Bridge SE delivers the aggressive, focused tone that defined a generation of hard rock. Built with Alnico 2 magnets and engineered for direct mounting via short ears, this pickup sits securely in a wider range of guitar cavities without modification. The 4-conductor wiring unlocks coil-splitting, series/parallel switching, and phase-reversal options for players who demand tonal versatility from a single bridge position.
Tone & Construction
A DC Resistance of 8.53 kΩ paired with a 6 kHz resonant peak produces tight, articulate highs and controlled lows—ideal for cutting through dense mixes on stage. The EQ signature of 7 bass, 5 mids, 8 treble emphasizes clarity and bite for live presence. Construction includes nickel silver bottom plate, braided lead wire, maple spacer, paper tape, and full wax potting for noise rejection and road reliability.
Compatibility & Wiring Options
The Short Ear (SE) mounting design fits a wider variety of guitar bodies and bridges, eliminating common fitment headaches on gigs and sessions. Four-conductor architecture enables advanced switching configurations—split the coils for single-coil articulation, series/parallel blending, or reverse-polarity tones. This versatility lets you dial in your live tone without swapping pickups or rebuilding your signal chain.
