Slash is known for some of the best riffs, licks and solos in rock n’ roll. To replicate the ferocious tone he achieved on records for Guns N’ Roses, Velvet Revolver, and his solo albums, Slash and Seymour Duncan collaborated to develop his signature pickup sets: the Slash and Slash 2.0 Humbuckers. Historically, these pickups have been available in vintage specs – with long mounting legs, single conductor braided cable, and traditional humbucker spacing. Now, Seymour Duncan is also offering both models with some of our most popular modern options.

When Slash was given the honour of having a Gibson Les Paul Signature model built, Seymour Duncan sent over the same Alnico 2 Pro humbuckers that he has used for decades. Turns out, the new guitars sounded noticeably different than the original. So, Seymour Duncan accepted the challenge to make him a new pickup that would make all of his new signature guitars sound just like the original AFD Les Paul. The result is the Slash Signature Model humbucker.

A different mag wire and winding spec that, when combined with the alnico 2 bar magnet, provided exactly what was needed to push a stock Les Paul toward that familiar sustain, crunch, and midrange that was so characteristic of the tone of Slash’s original Derrig Les Paul copy. The Slash humbuckers are hand built in Santa Barbara the same way Seymour Duncan built his originals in the 80s, with a nickel silver bottom plate with long mounting legs, single conductor braided lead wire, maple spacer, paper tape, and wax potting.

In case you were wondering, yes, the set that you buy is exactly the same as what Slash’s mighty tech, Ace Bergman, installs in Slash’s guitars. When the boss needs some new APH-2s, they pull them right out of production stock. Modern appointments on this pickup set include the Short Ear (SE) mounting legs to fit in a wider variety of guitars and for direct mounting and 4-Conductor cable for coil splitting, series/parallel wiring and phase switching.
