Seymour Duncan APH 1B Alnico II Pro Bridge Humbucker (Tortoise Shell)

The APH-1B Alnico II Pro from Seymour Duncan brings classic rock and blues humbucker tone to the bridge position with a lower-output design than many modern pickups. The Alnico 2 magnet delivers smooth, singing sustain and warmth that defined countless recordings from the late '60s and '70s. With an 8.4k DCR reading, this passive humbucker sits in the sweet spot between articulate clarity and thick, musical overdrive when pushed through a cranked amp. Made in the USA, the APH-1B ships in a tortoise shell cover.

The four-conductor shielded cable allows coil-splitting, series/parallel, and phase reversal wiring options for players who want more than just traditional humbucker operation. Alnico 2 magnets are softer and lower in magnetic pull than Alnico 5, which translates to longer string vibration and a sweeter harmonic response without the aggressive edge of ceramic or higher-gauss materials. This bridge humbucker balances well with most neck pickups, maintaining clarity even under heavy distortion while rolling back for clean tones that retain body and definition.
