The Hot PAF SLA2 was developed inspired by the classic tone associated with Slash, bringing the essence of late ’50s PAF humbuckers with slightly higher output and added body, while preserving dynamics and musicality.
Handwound and powered by our Special Alnico 2 magnet, the SLA2 delivers a warm, balanced and expressive tone, featuring rich mids, firm lows and a pronounced low-end punch — that natural “push” from the amplifier as the drive begins to respond.
Compared to our Classic PAF, the SLA2 offers more output and stronger low-end presence, while maintaining clarity and definition. Its clean tone is articulate and harmonically rich, and its crunch responds naturally with controlled sustain.
It is an extremely versatile pickup, performing equally well with clean tones, light overdrive or heavier distortion, always preserving clarity and dynamics.
