So I ordered a Seymour Duncan Slash Alnico II Pro set for my Gibson SG. I didn't love the Gibson 498t that was in the bridge position so I decided to try something else. First of all both pickups sound great. Smooth, well rounded, very nice. Only problem was with my SG it was difficult to balance the volume between the neck and bridge pickups. The neck pickup was a lot louder no matter how much further away from the strings it was. I think part of the issue is that my SG has a full pick guard and the pickups, especially the bridge pickup sits at a bit of an angle to the strings. Also these pickups have almost the same resistance for neck and bridge. I ended up swapping the bridge pickup for a Custom Custom. Similar pickup with more output. This worked much better for me. Nice sounding, well made pickups. Just a little hard to balance in my guitar.Read full review

Alnico 2 is now my favorite Les Paul pick up type. These are well balanced and they really let the wood on the guitar do its magic. You can definitely get the Appetite for Destruction tone with a fair amount of gain, yet you can dial in a very luxurious clean warmth. I spent a little time working with the pickup height on my set up, the result is just amazing.

These pickups sound great and work with many types of music from rock to metal and can easily pull off country.

Perfect for the tone I've been looking for for a long time. A perfect match for Gibson Les Paul guitars. They are versatile too for other kinds of rock and metal too. An upgrade to burstbuckers for sure, even the modded burstbuckers in the 2020 Slash signature guitars. I'm sure Slash would change them out for these Seymor Duncans anyway, whether its for APH-1 or APH-2's. Only downside, as they are single conductor, if you want split coil, you will have to splice a wire from between the two coils. Not sure if it will affect the humbucking tone, but I don't imagine it would too much. Great pickups and I am very impressed.

These pickups are amazing… everything from country to Metal… definitely not nearly as hot as all of my other pickups and I wasn’t sure if I would like them for that reason… Chord’s are crisp and clean and well balanced… When you add some dirt they scream and can handle all the distortion you want while still sounding clear, not at all muddy… Definitely recommend these….
