Seymour Duncan Slash 2.0 Signature Humbucker Set - Zebra/Reverse Zebra | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The Seymour Duncan Slash 2.0 Signature humbucker set in zebra/reverse zebra configuration combines enhanced output refined through years of world touring with the distinctive visual aesthetic of classic PAF-style pickups. This evolution of the beloved APH-2 set delivers hotter wind specifically developed for demanding live performance applications while maintaining the warm, singing tone and exceptional clarity that define Slash's signature sound.
Product Overview
The Slash 2.0 set emerged from Slash's touring experience with Guns N' Roses and Slash Featuring Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators, where he identified the need for increased output that could cut through demanding live environments without compromising tonal quality. Working directly with Seymour Duncan's team, Slash specified "same tonality, same great clarity…but hotter" as the design objective. The result achieves perfect balance between volume, drive, and compression that pushes amplifiers harder while preserving the expressive characteristics essential to his playing style.
Alnico II magnets provide soft high-end attack and low-string pull characteristics that deliver warm, extra-sweet tone with thick, smooth character and near-endless sustain. The hotter wind increases output beyond the original APH-2 specifications without introducing harshness or sacrificing dynamic response, ensuring the pickups respond beautifully to playing technique from delicate passages to aggressive attack. This enhanced output proves particularly valuable in live contexts where stage volume, band dynamics, and venue acoustics demand extra presence and drive.
The zebra/reverse zebra coil colors provide distinctive visual appeal—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 in Santa Barbara using authentic vintage-style construction including nickel silver bottom plates with long mounting legs, single-conductor braided lead wire, maple spacers, paper tape, and wax potting, these pickups maintain the premium build quality that professional musicians demand.

Key Features
Authentic Zebra/Reverse Zebra Aesthetic
The distinctive zebra coil colors provide classic PAF-style visual appeal—zebra configuration in the neck position and reverse zebra in the bridge position. This traditional aesthetic complements the enhanced touring-grade output for players seeking both increased performance and vintage-inspired appearance in their signature-model pickup upgrade.
Enhanced Output for Live Performance
The hotter wind increases output beyond the original APH-2 specifications while maintaining identical tonal character and clarity. The neck pickup's 8.8kΩ and bridge pickup's 9.38kΩ DC resistance deliver the volume, drive, and compression needed to push amplifiers harder in professional touring applications where increased presence proves essential.
Alnico II Magnets
Premium Alnico II magnets deliver soft high-end attack and low-string pull characteristics that provide warm, extra-sweet tone without harshness. These vintage-style magnets maintain exceptional touch sensitivity and dynamic response, ensuring the increased output doesn't compromise the expressive playing characteristics essential to nuanced lead work and dynamic rhythm playing.

Developed through years of world touring experience, these pickups address the specific demands of live performance where enhanced output cuts through stage volume and band dynamics. The hotter wind provides perfect balance that maintains tonal quality while delivering the presence and drive required in professional touring contexts.
