Seymour Duncan APH-2b Slash Alnico II Pro Bridge Pickup

The APH-2b is a warm, moderate-output humbucker that delivers smooth, articulate response without excessive aggression. Designed to capture the classic tonal character favored in jazz, blues, and classic rock, this bridge pickup balances clarity with vintage-inspired warmth. The construction emphasizes controlled dynamics and musical sustain, making it equally at home in lead lines and rhythm work.

Tone & Harmonic Response

Built around Alnico II bar magnets, this pickup generates a resonant peak at 6 kHz that emphasizes vocal midrange and string definition. The EQ balance—7 bass / 5 mid / 8 treble—creates a presence peak in the high end while maintaining warm low-end response, ideal for cutting through a mix without sounding brittle.

Construction & Materials

The pickup features a bottom plate with long mounting legs for secure, stable installation, paired with a maple spacer and wax potting to minimize microphonic feedback and ensure durability. The one-conductor braided shield cable provides reliable signal transmission with minimal noise.
