Seymour Duncan SH-APH-1 Alnico II Pro
AR-SH-APH-1
Seymour Duncan SH-APH-1 Alnico II Pro - APH-1 -- After players heard the Alnico II Pro™ single-coil models, many asked for that same sweetness in a humbucker version. The only way to get that sound is to use the Alnico II musical magnets with a new coil winding. The result is a warm, sweet tone with more natural string vibration for great sustain.

| application |
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. Or, in the neck with a higher output pickup like an SH-11 Custom Custom or SHPG-1b Pearly Gates for heavier rock or hotter blues sounds from the bridge position. |
| 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. Colors (humbucker spacing). |
| 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) |
