Description
Seymour Duncan Slash 2.0 Raw Nickel 4-Conductor SE Pickup Set
The Slash 2.0 Raw Nickel pickups deliver a raw, articulate midrange with natural breakup and sustain that responds directly to pick attack and playing dynamics. Hand-built in Santa Barbara with vintage Alnico 2 magnets, this set produces a balanced, musical output across neck and bridge positions without artificial coloration. The exposed nickel silver bottom plates and maple spacers give these pickups their characteristic look and sonic transparency.
Design & Construction
Each pickup in this set is hand-built in Santa Barbara using nickel silver bottom plates, maple spacers, and wax potting for reliability and consistent performance on stage and in the studio. The 4-wire connection enables coil splitting, serial/parallel switching, and phase reversal—giving you flexibility to shape your tone beyond standard humbucker operation and adapt your rig to different venues and setups. Short mounting legs provide secure installation on most modern guitar bodies and ensure stability under performance conditions.
Tone & Performance
The Alnico 2 rough cast magnet in both pickups yields a warm, smooth response with excellent note definition and natural compression at higher volumes—essential for cutting through a live mix without losing character. With a bridge DC resistance of 9.38k ohm and neck resistance of 8.8k ohm, this pairing balances output and clarity—the bridge sits slightly hotter for cutting lead tones while the neck maintains articulate, singing sustain that holds up in crowded frequency ranges.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between the bridge and neck pickup in this set?
The bridge pickup runs 9.38k ohm resistance with a slightly hotter output for cutting lead tones, while the neck sits at 8.8k ohm for articulate, singing sustain. Both use Alnico 2 magnets and share the same warm, responsive character, with the resistance difference balancing clarity and punch across positions.
What does the 4-wire connection let me do?
The 4-conductor cable enables coil splitting, series/parallel switching, and phase reversal—giving you options to reshape your tone beyond a standard humbucker, whether via a switchable guitar wiring or external effects/amp controls.
Are these pickups good for metal or punk?
These pickups excel in rock, blues, and hard rock where natural breakup and dynamic responsiveness shine; they are not optimized for the aggressive high-gain or fast-attack tones typical of metal or punk styles.
Will these fit my guitar?
These are standard humbucker pickups with short mounting legs designed for modern guitar bodies in bridge and neck positions. Verify your guitar accepts standard humbuckers and confirm mounting leg fit before purchasing, as some vintage or semi-hollow designs may require routing or modification.
What skill level do I need to install these?
Installation requires intermediate soldering and wiring knowledge to connect the 4-wire leads correctly and set up any coil-split or phase-reverse options you plan to use. If you lack soldering experience, consider having a luthier or qualified tech handle the install.
