Over the weekend I installed a set of the Slash 2.0 pickups in my Les Paul Standard. I always liked the original Slash set, but definitely agree with the man when he said sometimes you want "more." The 2.0 definitely gives you more. The bridge pickup has some additional heat but is also fatter sounding. It will definitely chug. lol! The neck pickup didn't really change the much to my ears. You still get that syrupy neck lead tone that you want out of a good Les Paul. Overall, I think this is a great set of rock pickups. I liked them so much I ordered a second set for another Les Paul. If you are looking for a fat overwound PAF tone, definitely give these a try.

Thank you for the review! I was always curious about them, but never had a chance to try.Administrator of the SDUGF

Originally posted by Rex_Rocker View PostI was kinda disappointed over the original Slash, TBH. I was using PAF-types back then, and I really liked the '59B and, to a lesser extent, the WLH. I tried the Slash thinking it would be hot and fat, and it was neither. I'd love to hear how the 2.0's address this.2001 Les Paul Classic (Antiquity Set)

Never had a problem fattening up a PU, but in 10:1 cases I like the extra brightness
