Seymour Duncan APH-2n Slash Alnico II Pro Humbucker Black Nickel Cover Pickup
The APH-2n delivers the thick, articulate midrange and smooth harmonic response that defined Slash's tone across decades of recording and touring. This neck-position humbucker pairs vintage Alnico II magnets with a carefully voiced coil design that balances warmth with clarity, making it equally effective for sustained lead work and rhythmic definition. The black nickel cover gives the pickup a sleek, professional appearance while maintaining the sonic characteristics Seymour Duncan engineered specifically for this signature series.

The 8.3k ohm DC resistance of the neck pickup produces a warm, responsive output without sacrificing articulation or dynamics. Alnico II magnets contribute the natural sag and harmonic bloom essential to classic rock and blues tones, making this pickup responsive to pick attack and playing dynamics across the full frequency spectrum.
Construction & Compatibility
Built with long-legged base plates and a wooden spacer for stable mounting and tonal focus, the APH-2n integrates seamlessly into standard 6-string guitar configurations.
