Seymour Duncan APH-2n Slash Alnico II Pro Humbucker Reverse Zebra Pickup

The APH-2n delivers a balanced, articulate voice designed for neck position clarity without sacrificing warmth. Hand-built in Santa Barbara, this Alnico II-based humbucker captures the midrange presence and compressed dynamics that define classic rock tones, making it a natural fit for players seeking defined note separation and sustain in their lead positions.

Tone & Electronics

The 7.92 kΩ DC resistance and 6.4 kHz resonant peak produce a tonally balanced output with emphasis on the midrange, while the 7/5/8 EQ rating (Bass/Midrange/Treble) ensures articulate clarity through amplifiers without excess harshness. This combination yields smooth sustain with controlled upper midrange aggression, ideal for both rhythm and lead work in rock and blues contexts.

Design & Construction

Built with an Alnico II bar magnet, nickel silver bottom plate with long mounting legs, and wax potting for feedback control, the APH-2n employs time-tested materials that promote natural resonance and reliability. The single conductor braided lead wire and maple spacer complete a construction approach focused on tonal coherence and structural integrity.
