Seymour Duncan APH-1b Alnico II Pro Raw Nickel Rad Gold Msh Pickup

Seymour Duncan APH-1b Alnico II Pro Raw Nickel Rad Gold Mesh Pickup

The APH-1b Alnico II Pro delivers articulate, vintage-informed punch with a modern edge. Hand-built in Santa Barbara, this bridge pickup balances clarity and aggression, offering guitarists a responsive feel that cuts through a mix without sacrificing definition across the frequency spectrum.

Tone & Performance

Built around an Alnico II bar magnet, this pickup produces a moderate output with a 6.7 kHz resonant peak that emphasizes presence and articulation. The EQ curve of 7 / 4 / 8 (Bass/Mid/Treble) tilts toward brightness and low-end punch while keeping mids controlled, making it equally capable in high-gain and clean contexts.

Construction & Wiring

Wax potting eliminates microphonic feedback for squeal-free operation, while the 4-conductor lead wire accommodates multiple wiring configurations to match your guitar's electronics. The nickel silver bottom plate contributes to the pickup's tonal characteristics and structural integrity.
