Seymour Duncan Slash 3.0 Black Nickel 4-Conductor SE Pickup Set

The Slash 3.0 delivers the articulate, balanced response that defined a generation of rock tone. This set combines aggressive midrange presence with controlled output, cutting through on stage without sacrificing note definition or responsiveness to pick attack. Built to specification by Seymour Duncan's Santa Barbara workshop, these pickups handle both classic and modern playing styles with equal authority in a live setting.

Tone & Magnetic Design

Rough cast Alnico 5 magnets provide the harmonic complexity and sustain that sits well in a mix, while the vacuum wax-potted construction eliminates microphonic feedback and ensures stable, noise-free performance night after night. The wood spacers with traditional appointments maintain classic tonal character without coloration.

Configuration & Installation

4-conductor wiring supports series, parallel, and split configurations for tonal flexibility beyond standard operation. Available in both Standard and Trembucker spacing with long- and short-leg options, these pickups fit modern and vintage guitar specifications without modification.
