Description
Seymour Duncan built the original APH-2 to Slash’s exact specs, then went back and wound it hotter for players who need that same voice to cut through a loud stage. The result is the Slash 2.0 — an Alnico II humbucker set that keeps the soft-edged high end and that familiar low-string give, but adds enough output to shove your amp into overdrive with real authority.
- Alnico II magnet for a rounder, less aggressive attack up top
- Hotter wind than the standard APH-1/APH-2 for increased output and drive
- Retains the low-string pull and pick-attack feel players associate with Slash’s tone
- Warm, extra-sweet midrange with a thick, smooth character
- Sustain that keeps blooming long after you’d expect it to fade
- Handbuilt construction with genuine attention to consistency, pole-to-pole
- Zebra bobbin finish — black and white coils, no cover
What makes this pickup interesting isn’t just the extra hair on the output — it’s how Seymour Duncan managed to add drive without losing the softness that made the original APH-2 feel so musical. Chords stay thick and articulate, single notes bloom into sustain instead of collapsing into mush, and the whole thing sits comfortably whether you’re riding a clean boost or slamming a cranked tube amp.
If your current pickups sound fine at bedroom volume but fold under stage gain, this set is built to answer that exact problem — more push, same soul.
