Seymour Duncan APH-2S Slash Alnico II Pro HB Raw Nickel Cover Set

Description

11104-08-RNc Raw Nickel Set of Humbuckers voiced specifically by Slash to give all his Les Pauls that Appetite for Destruction tone. When Slash was honored with 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 to make 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 mag wire and winding specs that, when combined with the alnico 2 bar magnet, provided exactly what was needed to push a stock Les Paul toward that familiar sustain, crunch, and midrange that was so characteristic of the tone of the original Derrig Les Paul, copied for Slash. The Slash humbuckers are hand built in Santa Barbara the same way we built his originals in the 80s, with a nickel silver bottom plate with long mounting legs, single conductor braided push-back lead wire, maple spacer, paper tape, and wax potting. ´´Post script´´, in case you were wondering, yes, the set you buy is the exact same as the one Slash´s famous tech, Ace Bergman, installs in Slash´s guitars. When the boss needs some new APH-2s, we pull them right off the production stock.
