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 a Seymour Duncan SH-11 Custom Humbucker   or  Seymour Duncan SH-PG1b  Pearly Gates Humbucker 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.
