Seymour Duncan APH-2N Slash Neck Humbucker – Raw Nickel

The Seymour Duncan APH-2N Slash neck humbucker is built to deliver the smooth, singing sustain and rich midrange made famous on classic rock records. Based on the Alnico 2 Pro platform but refined to match Slash’s personal studio and stage tones, this pickup adds warmth, clarity, and a fluid lead voice to your Les Paul-style or dual-humbucker guitar.

Slash-Inspired Tone for the Neck Position

Voiced for expressive lead lines and fat, articulate rhythm work, the APH-2N emphasizes sweet highs, rounded lows, and a pronounced midrange that helps solos sit comfortably in the mix. The Alnico 2 bar magnet and custom wind work together to provide a touch of compression, long sustain, and a dynamic feel that responds well to both aggressive picking and light touch.

Modern Wiring and Mounting Options

This version of the Slash neck humbucker adds modern flexibility while preserving the vintage-inspired character. Short-leg mounting makes it easier to install in a wide variety of guitars, including instruments with shallower pickup cavities or direct-mount designs. The 4-conductor lead lets you incorporate coil-splitting, series/parallel combinations, and phase options for expanded tonal palettes without sacrificing the core Slash sound.

Handcrafted Seymour Duncan Quality

Each Slash APH-2N humbucker is designed and made in the USA to Seymour Duncan’s high standards. Traditional construction methods, careful winding, and rigorous quality control ensure consistent performance, low noise, and a musical response that feels inspiring under the fingers.
