Seymour DuncanAPH-2s Alnico II Pro Slash Signature Model Humbucker Pickup Set - Zebra Zebra
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Alnico II humbucker set voiced for Slash's tone. For single-cutaway players wanting warm, vocal midrange rather than high-output aggression.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Single-cutaway guitars where stock pickups sound stiff or brittle
- Classic rock leads that need to sing under moderate gain
- Players chasing a smoother, rounder alternative to ceramic humbuckers
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Metal and drop-tuned playing needing tight, high-output attack
- Strat-style guitars routed for single coils
- Players who want bright, snappy modern clarity
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Full set, neck and bridge
Both pickups voiced to work together, so the middle switch position stays balanced instead of one side dominating.
Detail 03
Zebra bobbins
Uncovered black-and-cream coils. Slightly brighter and more open than the same pickup under a metal cover.
Detail 04
Humbucker format
Two coils wired to cancel hum. Quiet under gain, but needs humbucker-sized routing.
Detail 05
Single-cutaway voicing
Tuned around a mahogany-body, set-neck platform, which is where the midrange character lands as intended.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Pickups only — no rings, pots, switch, or wiring harness included
- 02Soldering required; pickup rings must match your guitar's arch and height
- 03Uncovered zebra bobbins change the look; covered versions are a separate part
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will these fit a Les Paul-style guitar?
Yes, they're standard humbuckers for single-cutaway platforms. Confirm your guitar is routed for full-size humbuckers, not mini-humbuckers or P-90s.
02Are these high output?
No. Alnico II magnets give a moderate, vintage-leaning output with warmer mids. If you want tight high-gain attack, look at a ceramic or hotter Alnico V set.
03Can I put covers on them?
These ship as uncovered zebra bobbins. Adding covers is aftermarket work and slightly darkens the top end.
04Do these work in a guitar routed for single coils?
Not without modification. Humbuckers need a wider route and a different pickguard or mounting ring.
