Description
Seymour Duncan Slash 2.0 Bridge Humbucker Nickel Pickup
The Slash 2.0 Bridge Humbucker delivers assertive, articulate output with excellent string definition and cut—a refined evolution of the original voiced for modern high-gain and classic rock applications. Hand-built in Santa Barbara, this pickup combines vintage Alnico II magnets with modern wax potting for reliable performance and reduced microphonic feedback. The nickel silver base plate with long mounting legs integrates seamlessly into most modern guitar cavities while maintaining classic aesthetic appeal.
Tone & Output Character
At 9.38k ohms DC resistance, this bridge model sits in the mid-output range—aggressive enough to drive tube amps into natural saturation without sacrificing note clarity or dynamic response. The Alnico II (Rough Cast) magnet provides warmth and responsiveness across the frequency spectrum, ensuring sustained sustain and vocal midrange presence ideal for lead work and thick rhythm tones on stage and in the studio.
Construction & Reliability
Internal maple spacer, paper tape, and wax potting create a stable, feedback-resistant assembly built to survive both studio sessions and night after night of live gigging. The single conductor braided shield cable simplifies wiring while minimizing noise interference—critical for cutting through a mix without unwanted hum. The nickel silver bottom plate with long mounting legs accommodates standard and oversized pickup routes without modification, making swaps straightforward whether you're at home or on the road.
