Seymour Duncan Slash 3.0 Neck Humbucker Gold Pickup
The Slash 3.0 Neck Humbucker delivers aggressive output and clarity without sacrificing the transparent, articulate response expected in a neck position. This redesigned pickup combines vintage construction methods with modern refinement, offering musicians a bridge between classic tone and contemporary aggression. Built to Seymour Duncan's exacting standards, it responds with definition across the full dynamic range.
Design & Construction
Hand-built in Santa Barbara using rough-cast Alnico V magnets, the Slash 3.0 employs traditional construction techniques including wood spacers and vintage-inspired appointments. Vacuum wax-potting ensures stable performance and eliminates microphonic feedback, while the gold finish provides both aesthetic appeal and corrosion resistance.
