The Original Alnico II Pro Slash
The legendary tone that powered Appetite for Destruction. When Slash’s decades-old Alnico II Pro humbuckers sounded different in his new Gibson Les Paul Signature models, Seymour Duncan accepted the challenge: craft a pickup that would make every Les Paul sound like his original AFD guitar.
The Slash Signature Model humbucker (APH-2) uses specialized mag wire and winding specs paired with Alnico 2 bar magnets to deliver the sustain, crunch, and aggressive midrange that made Slash’s tone iconic. Hand-built in Santa Barbara using the same ’80s methods, each set features nickel silver bottom plates, maple spacers, and wax potting.
This is the pickup Slash’s tech Ace Bergman installs in his guitars—pulled straight from production stock. Now available in modern configurations including 4-conductor wiring and trembucker spacing.
Slash 2.0
Evolution of a legend. After a decade of world tours with Guns N’ Roses and Slash Featuring Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators, Slash needed a hotter version of his beloved APH-2 pickups for live applications. His directive to Seymour Duncan: “same tonality, same great clarity…but hotter.”
The Slash 2.0 Set delivers exactly that. Based on his signature APH-2 pickups, the hotter wind provides the familiar sound Slash loves while pushing his amps with the perfect balance of volume, drive, and compression. Hand-built in Santa Barbara using the same ’80s methods with nickel silver bottom plates, maple spacers, and wax potting.
Born from real-world touring demands, the Slash 2.0 gives you more firepower without sacrificing clarity. Now available in modern configurations including 4-conductor wiring and trembucker spacing.
