Seymour Duncan Alnico II Pro Humbucker Pickup

Add some body to your tone. The Alnico II Pro pick offers warm, sweet tone with more natural string vibration for great sustain.

Overview

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 coil winding. The result - courtesy of the APH-1 Alnico II Pro pickup -- is a warm, sweet tone with more natural string vibration for great sustain.

I'll keep using this set of pickups in my Explorer for the life of the guitar , both the guitar and the pickups are a great match .

Sound

I put a bridge and neck AP2 in my Gibson Explorer replacing the insanely high output original pickups . I was looking for a more vintage and natural sounding pickup .. bingo ! hit the jackpot with these sweet sounding pickups , i got the ones with the gold covers . They really are awesome sounding and let the natural overtones of the guitar shine through , you can still crank the amp ( Marshall DSL 100 ) and get a very sweet sounding overdrive , those of you that are into hardcore thrash need not apply , but those who're into rock , classic rock , heavy rock etc this pickup is for you .

Features

It's a guitar pickup what features does it need .. It's Seymour Duncan ,the build quality is perfect ! and you do pay a little extra for perfection .

Ease of Use

It's a guitar pickup , straight forward to install if you are confident with a soldering iron .

Quality

Once again , it's a Seymour Duncan pickup .. top quality throughout their range of pickups .

Value

I guess they cost slightly more than the 'other ' major brand of USA made pickups , but remember you get what you pay for ;-)

Manufacturer Support

Can't comment , never had to contact the company .. so that's a good thing right there !

The Wow Factor

"sex appeal" LOL !! .. well i guess it's does sound sexy ( in the guitar ) in the right hands hahaha
