Seymour Duncan SRB-1 HB Humbucker set for Rickenbacker

For the many of the iconic guitar heroes, it's never been about hot, high output pickups. Often the best tones are derived from mild-to-moderate pickups and letting the amp do the work. The Alnico II Pro Slash pickup set takes a classic pickup formula and tweaks it slightly for maximum rock performance. The set features Alnico 2 magnets, which when compared to the more typical Alnico 5 have a softer magnetic field for greater harmonics, a smooth high end and a singing sustain. And the Slash set is wound just a touch hotter than the standard Alnico II Pro for a little more muscle and mids. If you have an appetite for great rock tones, check out the Alnico II Pro Slash set.

In the words of Seymour Duncan...

We used a different mag wire and winding spec that, when combined with the alnico 2 bar magnet, provided exactly what was needed to push a stock Les Paul toward that familiar sustain, crunch, and midrange that was so characteristic of the tone of Slash’s original Derrig Les Paul copy. The Slash 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.
