When Slash was given the honor of having a Gibson Les Paul Signature model built, we 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 we 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. We used 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 humbucker set is hand built in Santa Barbara the same way we built his originals in the 80s, using a nickel silver bottom plate with long mounting legs, single conductor braided lead wire, maple spacer, paper tape, and wax potting.Slash-Approved Sound - Recreate that "Appetite for Destruction" tone with these handcrafted Alnico II Pro humbuckers, echoing an iconic and timeless rock tone.Signature Design - Voiced by Slash for his Les Pauls, these pickups have exactly what's needed to push a stock Les Paul, delivering sustain, crunch, and midrange excellence.Vintage Authenticity - Crafted with a unique mag wire, winding spec, and alnico 2 magnet, capturing that classic rock essence and helping elevate your playing.Proven Legacy - These are the exact same pickups used in Slash's original Derrig Les Paul copy and installed by his mighty tech, Ace Bergman.
