Seymour Duncan APH-2b Slash Alnico II Pro Humbucker Pickup — Black Nickel Cover

The APH-2b is a bridge-position humbucker engineered to deliver the aggressive, articulate tone that defined Slash's signature sound. This Alnico II magnet design combines clarity and sustain with the midrange presence essential to classic rock and modern hard rock tones. The black nickel cover adds visual refinement while maintaining the pickup's full sonic character.

Tone & Magnetic Character

With a DC resistance of 8.53 kΩ and a resonant peak at 6 kHz, this pickup emphasizes articulation and definition without sacrificing body. The Alnico II magnet provides a balanced EQ signature of 7 (Bass) / 5 (Midrange) / 8 (Treble)—strong on top end punch and bass response, lean in the mids for clarity through high-gain amplifiers.

Construction & Specifications

The pickup features a long-legged bottom plate for secure mounting and a wooden spacer that contributes to tonal definition. Wax potting eliminates microphonic feedback, and the single-conductor braided shield wiring ensures reliable signal transmission with minimal noise interference.
