Seymour Duncan APH-2S Slash Raw Nickel Humbucker Pickup Set

Seymour Duncan APH-2S Slash Raw Nickel Humbucker Pickup Set

Capture the unmistakable Appetite-era tone in your own Les Paul with the Seymour Duncan APH-2S Slash Signature humbucker set. Developed in collaboration with Slash, these Alnico II humbuckers are voiced to deliver the same singing sustain, crunchy midrange, and sweet top end heard on his most iconic recordings with Guns N’ Roses, Velvet Revolver, and his solo projects.

Each pickup is hand-built in California using classic construction techniques and carefully tuned windings that push a stock Les Paul toward that instantly recognizable Slash sound. The raw nickel covers add a road-worn, vintage look, while the modern 4-conductor wiring opens the door to coil-splits and other advanced wiring options without sacrificing the organic, vintage-inspired feel.
