Seymour Duncan Slash 2.0 Neck Humbucker Nickel Pickup

Seymour Duncan Slash 2.0 Neck Humbucker Nickel Pickup

The Slash 2.0 Neck Humbucker delivers the warm, articulate response a neck position demands while maintaining the aggressive character needed for hard rock and blues lead work. Hand-built in Santa Barbara with premium materials, this nickel-plated humbucker balances vintage soul with modern clarity. Designed as a companion to the bridge model in the Slash 2.0 set, it excels in both lead and rhythm applications across rock, blues, and hard rock styles.

Tone & Output Characteristics

An 8.8k ohms DCR with Alnico 2 rough cast magnets produces a naturally compressed, slightly warm voice that preserves note definition and dynamic response. Wax potting eliminates microphonics while maintaining the organic resonance essential to Slash's signature tone—clean leads sing without brittleness, and rhythm tones stay thick without blooming.

Design & Construction

The nickel silver bottom plate with extended mounting legs ensures secure, stable installation in most modern and vintage guitar cavities. Maple spacer material and single-conductor braided lead wire support signal integrity and simplified installation, while paper tape wrapping and hand-built construction reflect the attention to detail Seymour Duncan applies across its signature artist line.
