Description
Seymour Duncan Slash 2.0 Neck Humbucker Nickel 4-Conductor SE Pickup
The Slash 2.0 Neck Humbucker delivers a hotter, more aggressive voice than its predecessor while maintaining the articulate midrange and smooth response expected in a neck position. The 4-conductor wiring unlocks flexible configuration options—coil splitting, series/parallel switching, and phase inversion—giving you tonal range from this single pickup. Handmade in Santa Barbara with premium materials and a rough-cast Alnico 2 magnet, this is a serious upgrade for players seeking enhanced output and versatility on stage.
Design & Construction
Built with a nickel silver base plate, maple spacer, paper tape, and wax casting, this pickup is engineered for durability and consistent performance night after night. The short mounting brackets accommodate flat-top guitars and thinner bodies with direct-to-body installation, making it a practical retrofit for most modern instruments without hassle.
Tone & Electronics
The hotter winding pushes more signal than the original APH-2, providing increased sustain and output while the Alnico 2 magnet preserves clarity and definition in live settings. The 4-wire connector enables switching between series and parallel coil configurations plus phase adjustment, expanding your tonal palette without requiring multiple pickups—a real asset for gigging musicians who need versatility from one neck position.
