Description
Seymour Duncan Slash 2.0 Neck Humbucker Gold 4-Conductor SE Pickup
The Slash 2.0 Neck Humbucker delivers smooth, articulate response with natural clarity in the neck position—essential for leads and clean passages that cut through a live mix without harshness. This signature pickup balances warmth with definition, responding dynamically to pick attack and finger dynamics without losing tonal coherence across the frequency spectrum. Built by Seymour Duncan's Santa Barbara workshop, it carries the same attention to detail found in higher-output models while prioritizing note separation and harmonic richness that translates on stage.
Tone & Output Characteristics
Rated at medium output with an 8.8 kOhm DC resistance, this pickup sits in the sweet spot for vintage-to-modern versatility. The Alnico II magnet contributes to a naturally responsive character that doesn't compress dynamics, making it ideal for both clean tones and overdriven applications where clarity and note definition matter—crucial for live performance reliability.
Design & Construction
Hand-wound in Santa Barbara, the Slash 2.0 features a nickel silver base plate, maple spacer, and wax casting—materials chosen for tonal consistency and road durability. The 4-conductor SE wiring provides flexibility for multiple wiring configurations, while the single-conductor braided lead keeps installation straightforward and dependable.
