Description
Slash has been riding his APH-2 signature humbuckers for over a decade, and fans agree they’re a modern classic. But years of touring with Guns N’ Roses and Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators exposed a gap: on big stages, he wanted more push without losing what made the originals special. The brief he gave Seymour Duncan was refreshingly specific — same tonality, same clarity, just hotter. That request became the Slash 2.0.
This neck humbucker takes the APH-2 blueprint and rewinds it with more output, giving you a fuller, more compressed feel that drives your amp into breakup with authority while keeping the note definition and harmonic sparkle intact. It’s built for players who want that instantly recognizable Slash growl but need it to hit harder live, whether you’re stacking gain stages or just want more volume on tap without sacrificing articulation.
Construction stays true to how Seymour Duncan built Slash’s originals back in the 80s, all hand-assembled in Santa Barbara:
- Nickel silver bottom plate with long mounting legs
- Single conductor braided lead wire
- Maple spacer
- Paper tape wrap
- Wax potting for squeal-free sustain at high gain
This listing is for the neck humbucker in the Zebra finish — pair it with its bridge counterpart for the complete Slash 2.0 set, or drop it into whatever build calls for that hotter, road-tested APH-2 tone.
