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

The Seymour Duncan Slash LLT APH-2 neck humbucker was developed when Slash's new Gibson Les Paul Signature guitars didn't sound like his legendary AFD–era Derrig copy. A unique magnet wire and winding specification, paired with an Alnico 2 bar magnet, recreates the sustain, crunch and midrange that defined his original tone. This zebra–coil version features modern appointments including short ear mounting legs and four–conductor wiring, hand–built in Santa Barbara using the same techniques from the 1980s.

The neck position pickup measures 8.3k DCR and uses the same Alnico 2 magnet formulation that powered Slash's recordings with Guns N' Roses and Velvet Revolver. Hand–wound construction includes a nickel silver bottom plate, maple spacer, paper tape and wax potting for authentic vintage character. The four–conductor cable enables coil splitting, series/parallel wiring and phase switching options. Short ear mounting legs allow direct installation across a wider range of guitar routes. These are identical to the pickups Ace Bergman installs in Slash's touring guitars, pulled from the same production stock.

The LLT designation indicates these pickups are made to order with approximately three to four weeks added to standard delivery time. Each unit is hand–assembled in the USA using traditional methods: braided lead wire, maple spacers and multiple wax potting stages that eliminate microphonic feedback under high gain. The Alnico 2 magnet provides warmth and compression compared to Alnico 5, delivering the vocal midrange response that characterises Slash's lead tone while maintaining clarity during rhythm work on a stock Les Paul platform.
