Description
Seymour Duncan Slash 2.0 Raw Nickel Pickup Set
The Slash 2.0 Raw Nickel pickups deliver articulate, balanced response across neck and bridge positions with a vintage-modern character that cuts through without excessive harshness. Hand-built construction and meticulous attention to detail make these pickups respond predictably under your fingers, translating pick attack and finger dynamics with clarity on stage. Built for players who demand authentic tone without compromise, these pickups excel in both classic rock and contemporary applications where consistency matters.
Tonal Character & Output
Alnico II magnets paired with medium output levels (9.38k bridge / 8.8k neck) create a pickup set that maintains clarity and definition while delivering enough gain for overdrive and distortion. The vacuum wax potting eliminates microphonic feedback, resulting in tight, noise-free operation at gig volumes.
Construction & Design
Built in Santa Barbara with traditional materials and modern quality control, these pickups feature a nickel silver bottom plate, long mounting legs for secure installation, and single conductor braided lead wire for reliable signal transmission. The combination of maple spacer, paper tape, and wax potting creates a robust assembly engineered to survive heavy touring and persistent use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these pickups suitable for metal or high-gain genres?
No. The Slash 2.0 Raw Nickel is optimized for classic rock, hard rock, blues, and rock. The medium output (9.38k bridge / 8.8k neck) and articulate character are not designed for metal or djent styles, which typically require higher-output pickups with more aggressive frequency response.
What skill level do I need to install these pickups?
These pickups are suitable for intermediate, advanced, and professional players. Installation requires soldering and proper wiring knowledge—if you're new to pickup swaps, consider having a qualified technician handle the installation.
Will these pickups reduce feedback and noise in a live setting?
Yes. Vacuum wax potting eliminates microphonic feedback, and the nickel silver bottom plate with robust construction delivers tight, noise-free operation even at volume—essential for reliable stage use.
How do the Slash 2.0 Raw Nickel pickups compare to the Seymour Duncan JB Model?
The Slash 2.0 emphasizes articulate, balanced response with vintage-modern character and a tighter low end, while the JB Model offers a slightly different tonal profile. Both are hand-built Seymour Duncan sets; the choice depends on whether you prioritize the Slash 2.0's clarity-focused character or the JB's specific voicing.
What is included in this pickup set?
The set includes a matched bridge and neck humbucker pair, both featuring Alnico II magnets, nickel silver bottom plates, long mounting legs, and single conductor braided lead wire. All components are vacuum wax potted and hand-built in Santa Barbara.
