The Seymour Duncan Slash LLT APH-2 Humbucker Set brings the AFD–era Les Paul tone to modern guitars with four-conductor wiring and short-ear mounting legs. Developed when Slash's signature Gibson models didn't replicate his original Derrig copy, these pickups use a specific magnet wire and winding spec paired with Alnico 2 bar magnets to deliver that characteristic sustain, crunch, and midrange. Hand-built in Santa Barbara with nickel silver bottom plates, maple spacers, and wax potting, these are pulled from the same production stock that tech Ace Bergman installs in Slash's touring guitars.
The neck pickup measures 8.3k DCR whilst the bridge sits at 8.9k, both wound to the exact specifications used on Guns N' Roses and Velvet Revolver records. Four-conductor cable enables coil splitting, series/parallel wiring, and phase switching capabilities absent from the vintage single-conductor versions. Short-ear mounting legs accommodate direct installation across a wider range of guitars beyond traditional Les Paul spacing. Raw nickel covers complete the aesthetic whilst paper tape and traditional wax potting maintain authentic construction methods from the 1980s originals.
The LLT designation indicates longer lead time production, with each set made to order and adding approximately three to four weeks to standard delivery. This made-upon-ordering approach ensures every humbucker receives the same hand-wound attention as those shipping to professional touring guitarists. The modern appointments transform a historically vintage-spec design into a retrofit option for contemporary instruments requiring coil-tap switching and direct mounting without modification.
