Description: Seymour Duncan APS-2 Alnico II Pro Strat single coil pickup - flat The Seymour Duncan APS-2 Alnico II Pro Strat single coil pickup - flat. FREE shipping in the USA! Application Flat pole piece, vintage-style, true single-coil. Recommended for country, pop, surf, rockabilly, blues, ska and classic rock. Description This pickup combines the same coil design as the APS-1, with hand ground rod Alnico 2 magnets of equal length raised above the flatwork. The flat magnet pattern provides the balanced field necessary for an even response using today's strings (unwound "G") and flatter neck radii. The more even output response is noticed when bending strings. Like the APS-1, the pickup is clean and vintage-like and will distort "earlier" compared to similar Alnico 5 pickups like the SSL-2. Comes with waxed cloth hookup cable and vintage-style "keyed" bottom plate. Complete setup Calibrated set available with RW/RP middle pickup. Guitars For warmer toned ash, alder or basswood body instruments. Works with maple and rosewood fingerboards. Audio courtesy of Seymour Duncan About the Guitars: We used all brand new Fender American made '62 re-issue Strat with a medium-weight alder body a rosewood board and a fresh set of American Flyer 10-46 gauge strings. We kept the pickup-to-string heights consistent between each change of pickups. About the Amps: We employed the "highest common denominator" philosophy in our amp selection. For clean tones, we used a silverface Fender Super Reverb with stock 4x10 "blue frame" speakers. We kept the Bright Switch "On" throughout. For crunch tones, we used a well-worn Marshall JCM 800 50 watt master volume head through a new Marshall 1960A Celestion®-loaded 4x12 cabinet. We plugged into the High output. With both amps we close miked straight-on with SM-57s through a Soundcraft Spirit Folio Mixer. These are the amp settings: Fender Super Reverb Bright Switch 3 5 6.5 4.5 2.5 On Volume Treble Midrange Bass Reverb Marshall JCM 800 Output 5.5 10 4 4 2 7 High Presence Bass Midrange Treble Master Pre-Amp Available mods Reverse wound, reverse polarity (RW/RP) middle pickups for hum canceling in positions "2" and "4" on the five-way switch.
