The Seymour Duncan Slash LLT APH-2 is a bridge position humbucker designed to replicate the legendary tone Slash achieved on Guns N' Roses records and beyond. When Gibson's signature Les Paul models didn't sound like his original Derrig copy, Seymour Duncan engineered this pickup with specific magnet wire and winding specs to deliver that familiar sustain, crunch, and midrange character. This version features modern short ear mounting legs and four-conductor wiring.
The APH-2 uses an alnico 2 bar magnet with 8.9k DC resistance in the bridge position, hand-built in Santa Barbara using the same techniques from the 1980s. Construction includes a nickel silver bottom plate, maple spacer, paper tape, and wax potting. The four-conductor cable enables coil splitting, series/parallel wiring, and phase switching options. Short ear mounting legs allow installation in a wider range of guitars and enable direct mounting without traditional long legs.
This is the exact pickup that Slash's guitar tech Ace Bergman installs in his touring guitars, pulled directly from production stock rather than custom shop runs. The LLT designation indicates these are made to order with approximately three to four weeks added to standard delivery time. Each humbucker replicates the specs needed to push a stock Les Paul towards the tonal characteristics of Slash's original AFD guitar.
