Seymour Duncan APH-2b Slash TB Gold Pickup
The Seymour Duncan APH-2b Slash is a signature bridge humbucker engineered to capture warm, articulate tones with moderate output and controlled sustain. Hand-built in Santa Barbara, this pickup delivers the vintage-leaning character essential for tracking classic rock and blues while maintaining definition and clarity that translates cleanly through high-gain processing and mixing.
Design & Materials
Built with an Alnico II magnet and nickel silver base plate with long mounting legs, this pickup provides stable, resonant low-end while maintaining tight treble response. The maple spacer and wax potting with paper tape construction ensure controlled feedback and minimal microphonic noise, making it reliable across various playing dynamics and recording sessions.
Tone & Performance
The moderate output character sits naturally in jazz, blues, and classic rock mixes where articulation and note separation matter as much as sustain. Single-conductor braided lead wire delivers clean signal transmission into your preamp, allowing natural breakup characteristics and dynamic response to remain uncolored—critical for capturing expressive takes that hold their own in a mix.
