Seymour Duncan APH-2s Slash Alnico II Pro Humbucker Black, Set Pickup

Seymour Duncan APH-2s Slash Alnico II Pro Humbucker Set, Black

The Seymour Duncan APH-2s Slash Alnico II Pro set delivers the thick, articulate voice that defined one of rock's most recognizable tones. Hand-built with premium materials and voiced for both clarity and sustain, these uncovered humbuckers respond with impressive dynamics across the entire frequency spectrum. These direct-replacement pickups are engineered for gigging musicians and collectors who need vintage character with the consistency to perform night after night.

Tone & Output

The bridge and neck pair produce complementary frequency responses—the bridge resonant peak at 6 kHz cuts through with presence while the neck peaks at 6.4 kHz for a balanced, articulate voice across both positions. DC resistance measurements of 8.9k ohms (bridge) and 8.3k ohms (neck) yield a moderate output capable of sustaining power without sacrificing note definition, supported by an EQ profile of 7 Bass / 5 Mid / 8 Treble that emphasizes upper-end clarity for cutting through a live mix.

Construction & Reliability

Each pickup features hand-built construction with a nickel silver bottom plate, single-conductor braided lead wire, wooden maple spacer, and wax potting for superior shielding and durability in the road environment. Long-legged base plates accommodate standard Gibson-style mounting, while the uncovered design allows full magnetic coupling for maximum responsiveness and zero-maintenance operation on stage.
