Description
Seymour Duncan Slash 2.0 Bridge Humbucker Black Nickel
The Seymour Duncan Slash 2.0 Bridge Humbucker delivers aggressive output and articulate string definition designed for high-gain playing and modern rock tones. This pickup trades the vintage character of its predecessor for a more aggressive voiced response, maintaining the signature clarity that made the original Slash model a staple in professional rigs. Hand-built in Santa Barbara, this bridge position humbucker excels in both rhythm aggression and lead sustain on stage and in the studio alike.
Tonal Character & Output
With a DC resistance of 9.38k, this pickup sits in the hot humbucker range, generating substantial output without sacrificing articulation or string separation. The Alnico II magnet provides a balanced frequency response that avoids muddiness while maintaining the warm, woody character essential for driven tones—ideal for modern rock, metal, and high-gain applications where clarity matters as much as power. Gig after gig, this pickup cuts through a dense mix without losing definition.
Construction & Reliability
Built with a nickel silver bottom plate and long mounting legs, this pickup offers both structural stability and tonal precision through improved contact and resonance. Vacuum wax potting eliminates microphonic feedback and squealing, ensuring consistent performance whether recording in the studio or pushing hard on loud stages. Traditional hand-assembly techniques ensure quality control at every step, so you can trust this pickup night after night.
