Produces a moderate output with a warm, sweet tone.

The Seymour Duncan APH-1n Alnico II Pro is a warm, moderate-output neck position humbucker that's great for jazz, blues, classic rock and slide. Designed for brighter toned instruments the Alnico II Pro works especially well with maple and ebony fingerboards. Also works great with hollow and semi-hollow body guitars.

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.

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.

Players using Alnico II Pro humbuckers: 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)

I put this pickup in an alder body guitar with a JB in the bridge position and got just what I wanted, a great medium output pickup that is nice and warm, yet clear. Compared to the jazz pickup that's Seymour's personal fave I think you get a wider pallet of sound color to work with, more variation when you move the pickup selector. Overdriven this has a fat tone, and through a clean amp it has a nice jazzy feel to it, but no mud at all. With a mahogany body guitar you might want a 69 or a jazz model, but the alnico pro is great for adding more range to the tone of an alder or even ash guitar whithout having to roll all the top end out.

Best pickup I've yet had

I put this in my H/H Strat Custom. The Alnico II magnet pickups really work well with brighter-wood guitars (alder, for example) by warming things about a bit and not being harsh and boomy with the highs. I usually have the tone knob set at 7-10 for clarity. If you want some single-coil goodness, wire in a coil split. Minimal 60hz hum. What are you waiting for?
