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.

The Slash 2.0 humbuckers are hand built in Santa Barbara the same way we built his originals in the 80s, with a nickel silver bottom plate with long mounting legs, single conductor braided lead wire, maple spacer, paper tape, and wax potting.  We also offer them with some of our most popular modern options: Short mounting legs, 4-Conductor cable and Trembucker spacing.

The Seymour Duncan Slash 2.0 Humbucker Set delivers the unmistakable voice of one of rock's most iconic guitarists with even greater punch and versatility. Designed to preserve the warmth and dynamic feel of vintage PAF-style pickups while adding extra output and midrange authority, this set excels at everything from crunchy rhythm work to soaring solos. Whether installed in a Les Paul or another dual-humbucker guitar, the Slash 2.0 set provides the balanced response, sustain, and musical clarity demanded by players chasing legendary British and American rock tones.
