Seymour Duncan APH-2s Slash Signature Alnico II Pro Set - Zebra/Reverse Zebra | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The Seymour Duncan Alnico II Pro Slash APH-2 pickup set in zebra/reverse zebra configuration delivers the legendary tone and authentic visual aesthetic that defined Slash's iconic 1986 guitar. This neck and bridge humbucker set combines warm, singing sustain with moderate output perfectly balanced for classic rock, blues, and jazz, while the distinctive zebra coil colors replicate the exact appearance of the pickups in Slash's most celebrated instrument.
Product Overview
The APH-2s Slash Signature set features carefully calibrated moderate output that bridges vintage PAF warmth and modern rock aggression, providing enough drive to push tube amplifiers into natural saturation while maintaining exceptional clarity and dynamic response. The pickups deliver vocal-like sustain and expressive articulation that respond beautifully to playing technique, cleaning up with lighter touch and opening into singing lead tones with aggressive attack.
Alnico II magnets provide smooth, warm magnetic characteristics that emphasize midrange presence and creamy sustain without harsh treble or muddy bass frequencies. This tonal balance proves ideal for applications where expressive lead work and thick rhythm sounds define the musical context. The moderate output level ensures versatile performance across diverse amplifier types from clean platforms to high-gain rock heads.
The zebra/reverse zebra coil colors authentically replicate the visual appearance of Slash's legendary pickups—zebra configuration in the neck position (black coil facing bridge, cream coil facing neck) and reverse zebra in the bridge position (cream coil facing bridge, black coil facing neck). Hand-built with single-conductor cable, long-legged bottom plates, and wooden spacers, these pickups maintain every construction detail that contributed to the original tone that shaped countless iconic recordings.

- Classic rock guitarists seeking authentic Slash tone with period-correct visual aesthetics
- Vintage enthusiasts wanting both the sound and appearance of legendary PAF-style pickups
- Lead-focused players demanding vocal-like sustain and harmonic complexity for expressive solos
- Blues and rock musicians requiring responsive pickups that interact dynamically with playing technique

Key Features
Authentic Zebra/Reverse Zebra Aesthetic
The distinctive zebra coil colors replicate the exact visual appearance of Slash's 1986 guitar pickups—zebra configuration in the neck position and reverse zebra in the bridge position. This period-correct aesthetic detail complements the authentic tone for players seeking both sonic and visual authenticity in their signature-model pickup upgrade.
Alnico II Magnets
Premium Alnico II magnets deliver smooth, warm magnetic characteristics that emphasize singing midrange presence and creamy sustain. These vintage-style magnets provide exceptional touch sensitivity and dynamic response, allowing playing technique to shape tone from clean clarity to singing saturation through pick attack variation alone.
Balanced Moderate Output
Carefully calibrated winding produces moderate output that bridges vintage PAF warmth and modern rock drive. The neck pickup's 8.3kΩ DC resistance and bridge pickup's 8.9kΩ resistance provide perfect balance for position switching while delivering sufficient output to drive amplifiers into natural tube saturation without sacrificing articulation.
Vintage Construction Details
Single-conductor cable with braided shield, long-legged bottom plates, and wooden spacers replicate the exact construction specifications found in Slash's legendary instrument. These period-correct details contribute to the pickups' warm vintage character and exceptional harmonic complexity that define classic PAF-style tone.
Hand-Built Quality
Each pickup receives individual attention during hand-building in Seymour Duncan's Santa Barbara facility, ensuring consistent adherence to Slash's original specifications. This craftsman approach maintains the exacting tonal and visual standards that professional musicians demand from signature-model pickups.
