A new evolution of the Slash sound
The Seymour Duncan Slash 3.0 set continues the legacy of the signature pickups developed with Slash for nearly forty years. Following the original model inspired by the legendary tones of Appetite for Destruction, then the Slash 2.0 designed for large stages, this third version addresses a specific need: achieving a higher output level without losing the organic, direct character of Slash’s playing. Originally designed for his SG for the Back to the Beginning concert, in tribute to Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath, the Slash 3.0 offers additional power while preserving an open, nuanced response that remains true to the guitar.
