When Slash was given the honor of having a Gibson Les Paul Signature model
built, we sent over the same Alnico 2 Pro humbuckers that he has used for
decades. Turns out, the new guitars sounded noticeably different than the
original. So we accepted the challenge to make him a new pickup that would make
all of his new signature guitars sound just like the original AFD Les Paul. The
result is the Slash Signature Model humbucker. 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 humbucker set is hand built in Santa Barbara
the same way we built his originals in the 80s, using a nickel silver bottom
plate with long mounting legs, single conductor braided lead wire, maple
spacer, paper tape, and wax potting.
