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

The Seymour Duncan Slash LLT APH-2 is a neck position passive humbucker designed to deliver the exact tonal signature Slash achieved on his original AFD Les Paul. This modern–spec version features short mounting legs and 4-conductor cable, expanding installation options beyond the vintage braided–wire format. The pickup was engineered when Slash's Gibson signature models sounded noticeably different from his Derrig Les Paul copy, prompting a redesign with specific mag wire and winding specs paired with an Alnico 2 bar magnet to restore that familiar sustain, crunch, and midrange character.

Hand built in Santa Barbara using the same techniques from the 1980s, this humbucker features a DC resistance of 8.3k in the neck position with an Alnico 2 magnet. Construction includes a nickel silver bottom plate, maple spacer, paper tape, and wax potting for authentic voicing. The 4-conductor cable enables coil splitting, series/parallel wiring, and phase switching configurations. Short ear mounting legs allow direct installation in a wider range of guitars compared to the traditional long–leg design. These pickups are pulled from the same production stock that Slash's guitar tech Ace Bergman uses when installing fresh APH-2s in the artist's touring guitars.
