Description
Seymour Duncan Slash 3.0 Bridge TB Nickel Pickup
The Seymour Duncan Slash 3.0 Bridge TB Nickel delivers the thick, articulate output that defined classic rock tones, with a modern refinement that responds cleanly across the full dynamic range. This bridge humbucker balances aggression with clarity, making it equally at home in high-gain riffs and controlled lead work. The nickel silver bottom plates and vintage-inspired construction give this pickup both sonic character and visual authenticity.
Tone & Output
The 9.62k ohms DC resistance positions this pickup in the hot-output territory without sacrificing articulation, providing substantial gain and compression while maintaining note definition. Rough cast Alnico 5 magnets paired with 1980s-inspired hand-built construction create a warm, focused midrange with punchy treble response that cuts through a mix.
Design & Build
Hand-built in Santa Barbara using authentic 1980s methods, this pickup employs maple spacers and wax potting for microphonic control and tonal stability. The nickel silver bottom plates reduce eddy current losses while delivering a refined aesthetic that complements vintage and modern instruments alike.
