Seymour Duncan Slash LLT APH-2 Bridge Humbucker (Reverse Zebra) 4C SE

This bridge humbucker was engineered to make Slash's signature Gibson Les Pauls sound identical to his original AFD Derrig copy from the 1980s. When standard Alnico 2 Pro humbuckers didn't deliver the required tone in the new guitars, Seymour Duncan developed a revised magnet wire and winding specification that nails the sustain, crunch, and midrange character of that legendary instrument. Hand-built in Santa Barbara using the same construction methods from the original 1980s run, this pickup ships with modern appointments including short-ear mounting legs and four-conductor wiring.

The bridge position model measures 8.9k DC resistance and uses an Alnico 2 bar magnet paired with the custom winding spec that defines this pickup's voice. Construction includes a nickel silver bottom plate, maple spacer, paper tape, and full wax potting for squeal-free performance under high gain. Four-conductor cable enables coil splitting, series/parallel wiring, and phase switching options. The reverse zebra aesthetic combines a black bobbin with a cream bobbin. Short-ear mounting legs allow direct installation in a wider range of guitars beyond traditional Les Paul routing. Each unit is pulled from the same production stock used by Slash's guitar tech.

The LLT designation indicates these pickups are made to order with an additional three to four week lead time beyond standard processing. This approach ensures every unit receives the same hand-wound attention in Santa Barbara that characterises Seymour Duncan's premium pickup construction. The four-conductor configuration expands tonal flexibility well beyond the original single-conductor braided wire spec, allowing modern players to access split-coil sounds and alternative wiring schemes while maintaining the core voicing Slash developed for his signature model guitars.
