Seymour Duncan Aph-2n Slash Alnico II Pro HB Gold Cover

Description

11104-06-Gc Single Humbucker specifically voiced by Slash to give all of his Les Pauls that Appetite for Destruction tone. When Slash had the honor of having a Gibson Les Paul Signature model built, we used the same Alnico 2 Pro humbuckers that he has used for decades. It turns out that the new guitars sounded noticeably different than the original. So, we accepted the challenge of making him a new pickup that would make all of his new signature guitars sound just like the original AFD Les Paul. The result is the Slash Signature humbucker model. We used a different magnet wire and winding specifications which, when combined with the alnico 2 bar magnet, provided exactly what was needed to push a standard Les Paul toward that familiar sustain, crunch, and midrange that were so characteristic of the tone of the original Derrig Les Paul, copied for Slash. Slash humbuckers are hand-built in Santa Barbara in the same way we built his originals in the 80s, with a nickel silver bottom plate with long mounting legs, single conductor braided lead wire, maple spacer, paper tape, and wax potting. ´´P.S.´´, in case you were wondering, yes, the set you buy is exactly the same as what Slash's famed tech, Ace Bergman, installs in Slash's guitars. When the boss needs some new APH-2s, we pull them out of production stock.
