Seymour Duncan
Alnico II Pro Humbucker in Black - Bridge
2 models to choose from:
Warm, moderate-output humbucker. Great for jazz, blues, classic rock and slide.
Description
The Alnico 2 magnet and moderate windings yield a warm, sweet tone with more natural string vibration for great sustain. Classic rock players who get their distortion from the amp rather than the pickup love the APH-1. It allows them to back off the crunch and get beautiful, clean tones with softer attack. Compared to the '59, the Alnico II Pro has a rounder sound with a spongier bass response. Comes with four-conductor hookup cable and no logo.
Complete setup
Often the APH-1 is used in both neck and bridge positions.
Guitars
For brighter toned instruments. Works especially well with maple and ebony fingerboards. Also works great with hollow and semi-hollow body guitars.
Available mods
Nickel or gold-plated cover. Trembucker. Seymour Duncan logo.
Players
Slash / Velvet Revolver & Guns 'N Roses (neck & bridge), Michael Wilton / Queensryche (bridge), Jeff Tamelier / Tower of Power (neck), Tim Mahoney / 311 (neck), Troy Van Leeuwen / Queens of the Stone Age (neck)

Product Experience I own it
Closest Store Toronto (Bloor St.), Ontario
I got the Alnico 2 Pro to replace the stock pickup in the bridge position and first thing I notice is that it's got that sweet tone that's hard to explain. It's not very bright or too trebly that sometimes hurt the ears. My guitar has plain mahogany body and yet it doesn't muddy at all, just enough brightness. Not aggressive but more classic sound, yet gets alot of fun with different effects. Very good clean sound, not distorted.
