For warmer toned ash, alder or basswood body instruments (electric guitars), works with maple and rosewood fingerboards.

The hand ground Alnico 2 magnets and moderate windings (Heavy Formvar® wire) yield a warm, sweet tone with more natural string vibration for great sustain. Players who get their distortion from the amp rather than the pickup love the APS-1. It allows them to back off the crunch and get beautiful clean tones with softer attack. Compared to the SSL-1, the APS-1 has a rounder sound with a spongier bass response. Comes with waxed cloth hookup cable and vintage-style "keyed" bottom plate.

The APS-1 is available: as APS-1, as RW/RP middle pickup, and for left handed guitars.
