Seymour Duncan Slash LLT APH-2 Neck Humbucker (Black Nickel) 4C SE

The Seymour Duncan Slash LLT APH-2 neck humbucker in black nickel with short ear mounting legs and four-conductor wiring delivers the exact tone Slash demanded for his Gibson Les Paul Signature guitars. Seymour Duncan developed this pickup to replicate the sustain, crunch, and midrange character of Slash's original Derrig Les Paul copy from the Appetite for Destruction era. Hand-built in Santa Barbara using a custom magnet wire and winding specification paired with an Alnico 2 bar magnet, this humbucker measures 8.3k DC resistance and ships from production stock—the same units installed by Slash's guitar tech Ace Bergman.

Construction mirrors the vintage methods Seymour Duncan employed in the 1980s: nickel silver bottom plate, maple spacer, paper tape, and wax potting for squeal-free performance under high gain. The modern SE (short ear) mounting legs accommodate direct installation across a wider range of guitar routes compared to traditional long-leg designs. Four-conductor cable enables coil splitting, series/parallel wiring, and phase switching for expanded tonal options beyond the core humbucker voice. The LLT designation indicates made-to-order status, adding approximately three to four weeks to standard delivery timelines as each pickup receives individual attention during the hand-building process in California.
