Description
Seymour Duncan Slash 3.0 Neck Humbucker Black Nickel Pickup
The Slash 3.0 Neck delivers articulate midrange and controlled low-end response without sacrificing the aggression that defines modern rock tones. This third-generation iteration tightens up the low frequencies while maintaining the output character players expect from a signature Slash model. Hand-built in Santa Barbara with premium components, it's engineered for players who demand clarity and definition in the neck position.
Tone & Output Character
Enhanced output and tighter low-end response distinguish this version from earlier Slash designs, giving you more focused bass definition and reduced mud in chord work. The Rough cast Alnico 5 magnet structure delivers the harmonic complexity needed for both saturated rhythm work and articulate single-note passages across the neck position.
Design & Construction
Each pickup is meticulously hand-built with a nickel silver bottom plate, long mounting legs, and traditional wax potting for hum rejection and durability. The combination of maple spacer, paper tape, and single conductor braided lead wire ensures reliable performance and easy integration into most wiring schemes.
