Description
Seymour Duncan Slash 2.0 Neck Humbucker Raw Nickel Pickup
The Slash 2.0 Neck Humbucker sits in the neck position as a workhorse for clean tones and driven leads alike. Its articulate, controlled voicing keeps your playing clear and defined without muddying the mix onstage—critical when you're stacking effects or pushing an amp hard. Hand-built to exacting standards in Santa Barbara, this pickup balances vintage warmth with modern note separation, pairing naturally with bridge humbuckers for a cohesive set across your playing range.
Tone & Output Character
An 8.8k ohms DC resistance keeps output moderate so every note reads clean—no dark, woolly response that buries articulation in live situations. The Alnico 2 rough cast magnet delivers organic warmth and responsive dynamics that track your pick attack and fingering nuance without losing definition. The result is a pickup that serves both sparkling cleans and gritty overdriven tones without sacrificing clarity in either realm.
Construction & Materials
Hand-built assembly in Santa Barbara ensures consistent quality control throughout production. The nickel silver bottom plate with long mounting legs seats solidly in your guitar and maintains tonal stability across repeated gigs and temperature shifts. Wax potting kills microphonics for a quiet, hum-free signal path. Supporting materials—maple spacer, single conductor braided lead wire, and paper tape—work together to preserve balanced frequency response and road-tested durability.
