For nearly four decades, Slash has relied on Seymour Duncan pickups to shape the unmistakable sound that defined a generation. From the original Slash model that recreated the legendary Appetite for Destruction tones, to the hotter Slash 2.0 set designed for stadium-sized live performances, Slash’s signature humbuckers have become iconic in their own right. Now, we bring you the Slash 3.0: born from Slash’s need for even more punch and bite while staying true to his tone.
The Slash 3.0 was first conceived at his request for Guns N’ Roses’ performance at the Back to the Beginning tribute to Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath. Slash needed extra output for his SG® without sacrificing the precision and authenticity he demands from his tone. With the inclusion of Alnico 5 magnets, this new 3.0 design delivers tighter lows, more immediate attack, and added output, while keeping the same transparent character and unmistakable Slash feel. In addition to his SG®, Slash is using 3.0 live in other guitars that benefit from additional output. “The new 3.0 is basically just one more step up,” Slash explains. “You have more output, but still that same clarity and honesty of the sound of the guitar. I’ve got the best of all worlds now because I have my original Slash pickups that I’ve been using on most of my guitars forever. But now I have the options of having the 2.0 and the 3.0 for different guitars and different situations where it calls for a bit more kick-ass.”
Hand-built in Santa Barbara with vintage-inspired construction (rough cast Alnico 5 magnets, wood spacers, and traditional appointments) the Slash 3.0 set is vacuum wax-potted and available in multiple configurations: single- or four-conductor wiring, standard or Trembucker spacing, and both long- and short-leg options for modern and vintage guitars alike. Whether you’re outfitting a Les Paul®, an SG®, or a stage-ready superstrat, the Slash 3.0 gives you the choice to add just the right amount of bite without ever losing the soul of your tone.
