Seymour Duncan Slash 3.0 Humbucker (Nickel Set)

For nearly four decades, Slash has relied on Seymour Duncan pickups to shape the distinctive sound that shaped a generation. From the original Slash model that recreated the legendary Appetite for Destruction tones to the more powerful Slash 2.0 set designed for stadium-filling live performances, Slash's signature humbuckers have become icons. Now we present you the Slash 3.0: born from Slash's need for even more assertiveness and bite without staying true to its sound. The Slash 3.0 was designed at Slash' request for the Back to the Beginning tribute. With Alnico 5 magnets, it delivers tighter bass, direct stroke and higher output power without losing transparency and typical slash feel. In addition to its SG, Slash uses the 3.0 live on other guitars. "The 3.0 is a step upward: more output, but the same clarity and honesty," says Slash. So it combines his original pickups with 2.0 and 3.0 for different guitars and inserts. Handcrafted in Santa Barbara with vintage-inspired construction (rough-cast Alnico 5 magnets, wood spacers and traditional finishes), the Slash 3.0 set is vacuum wax sealed and available in multiple configurations: single or four-wire wiring, standard or trembucker spacing, as well as both long and short leg options for modern and vintage guitars alike. Whether you're equipping a les paul, a SG, or a stage-ready superstrat, the Slash 3.0 gives you the ability to add just the right amount of bite without ever losing the soul of your tone. A more aggressive version of Slash's signature tone From Appetite for Destruction to this day, Slash relies on Seymour Duncan for its signature sound. The Slash 3.0 is its most powerful humbucker set, with more output than previous models, with full clarity and dynamics. Originally developed for the Guns N' Roses appearance on the Back to the Beginning tribute to Ozzy Osbourne, Slash plays a pair of 3.0 humbuckers. "The 3.0 is a step upward: more output, but the same clarity and honesty," he says. The set retains an authentic, vintage-inspired construction.
