Members guitarboyled Posted February 17, 2010 Members Share Posted February 17, 2010 Ok so for so long Seymour and Slash both claimed that he uses normal out of the box Alnico II Pro and that a signature Pickup was impossible... Now a new Alnico II Pro Slash edition is on the way. What's up with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members scolfax Posted February 17, 2010 Members Share Posted February 17, 2010 http://www.seymourduncan.com/artists/interviews/slash/ You have said that Alnico II Pros are an essential part of your Les Paul tone. I think so. I would say I haven't heard a humbucker-type Les Paul with anything else except for old PAFs sound as good as a Les Paul with Alnico II Pros.For obvious reasons, your collectible vintage guitars are left stock to maintain originality. But in other Les Pauls, have you tried any different combination of Duncan pickups?Not really. I never had any need to. I'm familiar with a lot of the different models Seymour Duncan has. Evan Skopp [VP Marketing] and I have actually talked about doing a custom pickup with my name on it, but there's nothing I really would want to alter. So that's why there is no Slash model pickup and why I don't experiment with different pickups on different Les Pauls because of the simple fact that they sound fine the way they are with Alnico II Pros. I've read something similar in another interview. I'd bet that the Slash pickups are the same pickups he's always used, just with his name on them.

Members Orbis_Mortis Posted February 17, 2010 Members Share Posted February 17, 2010 I think they are just a little hotter than the normal ones. At least I think I read that somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Edge11 Posted February 17, 2010 Members Share Posted February 17, 2010 A guy sent him some a2's from the first production run, he commented on how different they sound from today's A2's. Hence the birth of this pick up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence the birth of this pick up. Pretty much, yes The 1980's A2P's does not sound the same as todays production A2P's and he want a set that was in the LP copy that he used for AFD.

Members _pete_ Posted February 17, 2010 Members Share Posted February 17, 2010 Slash is pretty much an endorsement whore and there's nothing wrong with that.If my name was worth anything I'd let them put it on a box of tampons as long as I got paid.
