Frequently Asked Questions

The APH-2B is a refined version; it offers a slightly more balanced tone and improved noise reduction compared to the original, while retaining the core character.
It’s designed as a bridge pickup, so pairing it with a high-output neck humbucker could create an imbalance; consider a neck pickup with a similar output level for best results.
While it handles drop tunings reasonably well, the Alnico II Pro's warmer tone might lose some tightness and clarity in significantly lower tunings.
