Description
Seymour Duncan Slash 3.0 Raw Nickel Pickup Set
The Slash 3.0 Raw Nickel set delivers the punchy, articulate response that defined a generation of hard rock tone. Hand-built in Santa Barbara with vintage-spec materials and modern potting techniques, these humbuckers combine aggressive midrange clarity with controlled low-end punch. Built to exacting standards, they're engineered for stage performance and high-gain applications where presence and definition matter.
Tone & Output
The neck pickup measures 8.8K ohms while the bridge sits at 9.62K ohms, providing a balanced yet slightly hotter bridge response suited to lead work without sacrificing neck-pickup articulation. Rough cast Alnico 5 magnets paired with vacuum wax-potting ensure tight, feedback-free operation at volume while preserving natural harmonic complexity.
Design & Construction
Nickel silver bottom plates and wood spacers deliver the classic appointments of high-end vintage designs, while the hand-built construction in Santa Barbara maintains quality control at every step. Configuration flexibility allows selection of single- or four-conductor wiring, standard or Trembucker spacing, and long- or short-leg options to match your guitar's specifications.

At a Glance
The Slash 3.0 Raw Nickel is a hand-built humbucker set engineered for hard rock and metal players who need aggressive midrange clarity and controlled punch without feedback at volume. Neck and bridge pickups (8.8K and 9.62K ohms respectively) deliver articulate definition for both rhythm and lead work, with vintage-spec Alnico 5 magnets and nickel silver appointments that sit perfectly in a high-gain rig on stage or in the studio. Built in Santa Barbara with vacuum wax-potting and configuration flexibility (single/four-conductor, standard/Trembucker spacing), these are serious pickups for intermediate to pro players who demand both presence and tonal character.

What output level are these pickups, and will they work with my amp?
The neck sits at 8.8K ohms and the bridge at 9.62K ohms—a moderately hot output suited to high-gain applications. They work well with tube and solid-state amps at any volume; the vacuum wax-potting keeps feedback tight even when pushed hard.
Do these pickups come in different wiring options?
Yes. The set is available in single- or four-conductor wiring, standard or Trembucker spacing, and long- or short-leg options to match your guitar's specifications and wiring preferences.
What makes these different from other high-output humbuckers?
Hand-built construction in Santa Barbara, rough cast Alnico 5 magnets, nickel silver bottom plates, and wood spacers deliver vintage character and natural harmonic complexity. Vacuum wax-potting ensures feedback-free operation while preserving tonal nuance—balancing classic design with modern reliability.
Are these pickups good for genres other than hard rock and metal?
These are voiced specifically for hard rock, metal, and rock with their aggressive midrange and controlled low end. They are not recommended for jazz, folk, or country styles.
