Seymour Duncan Slash 2.0 Humbucker Pickup Set - Gold Cover
Seymour Duncan Slash 2.0 Humbucker Pickup Set - Gold Cover Reviews
The Seymour Duncan Slash 2.0 humbucker takes the top-hatted one's signature APH-2 pickup and ups the ante with a hotter wind for hard-hitting performance in live applications. Loaded with an Alnico II magnet, the Slash 2.0 delivers the same soft high-end attack and low-string pull as its predecessor, along with a warm, extra-sweet sound that's thick, smooth, and offers near-endless sustain. The guitarists here at Sweetwater appreciate the excellent, handbuilt quality of the Slash 2.0. If you're searching for a way to push your amp with a fine-tuned balance of volume, drive, and compression, it's so easy with Seymour Duncan Slash 2.0 pickups.
A good general-purpose increased output humbucker
I bought these for a Gibson 50th anniversary Explorer where I was somewhat unhappy with the stock '57 pickups. In particular their texture with gain was not to my liking.
These pickups did what I wanted - medium to slightly hot output, fairly scooped frequency response, and a better matchup the Soldano, Mesa and CAE amps I normally use. They also sound good clean and are not overbearing.
For many years I have used the Suhr Aldrich as my go-to humbucker in Gibson-type guitars. While I will not be replacing them any time soon, this is a legitimate alternative. The Slash 2.0s are bassier than the Aldrich, which is very cutting.
