A Signature Pickup Designed Around a "Very Special" Les Paul
Although he owns many guitars, Slash has relied since 1986 on a very special Les Paul for his recordings. The Seymour Duncan APH-2s Alnico II Pro Slash was designed to bring his other Les Paul guitars, the ones he calls his "live guitars," closer to the exact character of this legendary instrument. This same spirit is also found in recent Gibson Slash Les Paul models.
Who Is It For, and In Which Styles?
This set is aimed at guitarists who want a musical, expressive, and dynamic humbucker pickup capable of maintaining warmth in clean tones while delivering rich crunch as soon as you play harder. Recommended for jazz, blues, and classic rock, it also excels on "singing" leads and powerful chords, especially with good overdrive or tube distortion.
What Makes the Difference: Alnico 2, "Just Right" Winding, and Selected Components
Like the standard APH-1 Alnico II Pro model, the APH-2s uses an Alnico 2 magnet for that smooth feel under the fingers and silky mids. The Slash version, however, is wound with just enough power to push a Les Paul toward a gentle crunch, generous sustain, and a rougher grain without tipping into excessive compression. Note: the single conductor wiring favors authenticity and simplicity, in the spirit of pickups from that era, with a long-legged baseplate and wooden spacer. Designed primarily for a Les Paul, this set also works very well on any well-balanced guitar equipped with dual humbuckers, including hollow and semi-hollow body models.

Outstanding warm sound. Wiring on a single wire + ground so be careful. But the wiring plan is in the box. The springs are a bit cheap. I changed to conical ones.
