Seymour Duncan - Slash 2.0 Signature Humbuckers

Slash’s signature humbucker set has been loved by fans and the 6-string king himself for over a decade. Since then, Slash has found a need for a hotter version of his pickups in live applications over the course of multiple world tours with Guns N’ Roses and Slash Featuring Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators. When working on this new wind with Seymour Duncan, Slash’s goal for the team was to deliver the "same tonality, same great clarity...but hotter" than his APH-2s. The Slash 2.0 Set is based off his signature APH-2 pickups, now with a hotter wind that provides the familiar sound Slash loves while pushing his amps with the perfect balance of volume, drive, and compression.

I moved to LA in 01’ and right into an old apartment he used to Rent during the Illusion days. He saw me walking out the door one day and said “Hey- thats my old apartment “ 😛. We chatted for like 20 minutes. He shared advice and motivation to play in bands there. Thanks for bein cool man. You’re a humble dude

Just when I thought my gear related purchases were over with, Seymour has lured me back in 😂

Sometimes you can't beat a passive pickup. No batteries, no boards in the cavity... But still the magic.

[rkk]

That is a really surprising take on new versions of existing gear. No meaningless buzzwords, unverifiable claims on improvements, etc. They sound the same, just slightly louder.

I recently had the Slash set installed in my LP Custom, replacing a set of Bare Knuckle Cold Sweat humbuckers. The Slash set sounds so much better to my ears. I’m definitely tempted to try out these new Version 2 pups.

Killer pickups. The YJM pickups for strats are also amazing.

[Barracuda]

the original Slash pickups are awesome. made my £300 guitar sound like a £2000 one!

[jameslonano]

These are absolutely killer pickups with everything you could want in a hot PAF. But the clarity, rich and complex upper mid harmonics are just superb. Sounds like a match made in heaven through Superleads and in high gain JVM's, transformed my unloved and un-played 2020 60's LP standard tea burst into near perfection and competes with some very high dollar LP stablemates. I seriously can't put this guitar down since installing them and upgrading everything in from the pots, 50's wiring, braded wiring all around, and Luxe bumblebee .022's just as you would find in an original burst or a Historic. It makes a huge difference is getting the most out of your pickups in a Les Paul.

Either turn your amp master volume up, or buy these pickups for $200 and install them into your guitar to make your guitar louder. Of course, most of us are probably going to try the latter option first 😂

Seriously though, I like how they don’t overmarket these at all, and just have Slash tell you what it is: “They’re the same pickups, but louder.” Brilliant.

Slash is the best guitar player that plays the best hard rock songs. His melodic playing is accentuated by the guitars pickups.

[ghost_java]

I respect slash a lot for finding something that he liked and sticking with it.

The live clips they show in this are from the show at House of Blues in Boston last year. I was at that show. What a night!

[greekfreak]

The replica guitar he's talking about, is the iconic ''Appetite'' LP, the one he recorded the ''Appetite for Destruction'' album and many other records over the years.
So yeah, ''stay authentic" and all that....😉

[secularspectator]

Being playing nearly 30 years...got my 1st pair about a year ago. WOW such a great pick up.

OK, took three years for a luthier in Canada to do a super accurate Derrig replica. This same luthier has built several for Richard Fortus and even delivered one to LA right before the not in this Lifetime tour. The top on my build had been sitting in a private woodworkers stash for the last forty years in upstate New York, it was true Old Growth Hard Rock Sugar Maple Ribbon, you can see in my video library and I only mention it because I figured it would have the same tonal properties as the Derrig. Anyways the tough decision was which pickups to go with for this build. Well I tried the A2Pros, then the older Slash set which i liked better, was really bummed that shortly after this 2.0 Set came out, but just swapped the Slash Set for the Slash 2.0, and there it was!! I was not expecting anything, but this is truly everything that was missing and when rolling to Cleans, it is so much better and just like the albums! Of course this is plugged into a 1980 JMP 2203 with the Frank Levi Superkill #34 Mod, but it is nailing the albums sounds and the feel and compression is just right. All of the sustain and harmonics are there with this set unlike the others. Extremely impressed and I plan of doing a video soon because there aren't enough out there, only bad thing is I don't even want to put the Slash Set back and and have to remove this new 2.0 Set!

[markeosimmo]

I'm in total agreement with Slash on this one. The only thing I would be tempted to do, would keep on adding the Seymour Duncan's across other types of guitars. Rather than solely concentrating on Les Paul's.

[Guppyfan]

I have an Aph1 set in my Epiphone Gotic Lp and are awesome, the Aph2 set in my Epiphone Standard (awesome too) and now i want to try the 2.0 version on my Gibson Anaconda ❤

[gabrielmartin]

Slash siempre ha sido una de mis mayores influencias... Tanto por sus canciones.... Como por ese sonido incompatible que @seymourduncan le ha dado gracias Seymour y MJ

[kanesword]

I just installed slash pups in my 2022 standard 60's unburst and now they come out with new ones lol

[RiloRox]

I cant wait for the first blind A/B-tests
