Seymour Duncan Slash LLT APH-2 Bridge Humbucker (Nickel) 4 Conductor SE

The Seymour Duncan Slash LLT APH-2 bridge humbucker recreates the tone Slash achieved on records with Guns N' Roses and beyond, developed in direct collaboration with the guitarist to match his original AFD Les Paul. This version features short ear mounting legs and 4-conductor cable – modern appointments that expand compatibility and wiring options while retaining the hand-built Santa Barbara construction that defined the originals. DC resistance measures 8.9k in the bridge position, driven by an Alnico 2 bar magnet.

When Slash's Gibson signature guitars sounded different from his original Derrig Les Paul copy, Seymour Duncan reworked the magnet wire and winding specifications to deliver the same sustain, crunch, and characteristic midrange. Each pickup uses a nickel silver bottom plate, maple spacer, paper tape, and wax potting – identical construction to what tech Ace Bergman installs in Slash's touring guitars, pulled straight from production stock. The 4-conductor cable enables coil splitting, series/parallel wiring, and phase switching across a broader range of instruments than the vintage single-conductor spec allowed.

The LLT designation indicates these are made to order, adding approximately three to four weeks to standard delivery. Short ear mounting legs accommodate direct mounting configurations and guitars that won't accept the traditional long-leg vintage design. Every element – from the specific mag wire gauge to the Alnico 2 magnet – exists to push stock Les Pauls toward the tonal signature of Slash's original instrument, maintaining the hand-wound integrity of 1980s-era Seymour Duncan construction with expanded routing flexibility for contemporary players.
