Fishman unveils pickups designed by Polyphia guitarists

Mar 28

Tim Henson is known for being the lead guitarist of the progressive band Polyphia and is widely considered one of the hottest guitarists in the world. Unafraid of new technology and forging new paths, Tim has quickly established his legacy as a guitar hero.

His new signature pickup set is no exception. The wide array of tones available from this set spans the entire range of aggressive lead and rhythm tones to the cleanest of clean single coil combinations, even touching on sounds Tim was previously only able to produce with his acoustic guitars.

3-VOICE NECK PICKUP

Three extremely diverse and unique voices in the same pickup. Thick neck humbucker tones from Voice 1, a substitute nylon string surrogate in Voice 2, and fluid and precise neck single coil tones in Voice 3, all packed into the same pickup.

Voice 1: Thick and smooth neck humbucker
Voice 2: Hyper-clean, nylon string surrogate
Voice 3: Tim’s fluid neck single coil

3-VOICE BRIDGE PICKUP

A solid hot passive bridge lead tone in Voice 1, combined with Tim’s idealized bridge humbucker tone in Voice 2, and a single coil combination tone that, when combined with one coil from the neck humbucker, produces Tim’s signature single coil combination tone.

Voice 1: Based on Fishman’s hot-rodded Classic voice, the quintessential lead tone of a generation
Voice 2: Combination of Tim’s favorite bridge humbuckers
Voice 3: Tim’s ideal single coil combination tone when used in conjunction with neck coil

Polyphia guitarist Scott LePage has been pushing the boundaries of guitar music since 2013. Since then, Polyphia have continued to bend genres by weaving intricate guitar riffs with hip-hop rhythms, bass-heavy trap music, and gnarling metal into their own unique and refreshing blend.

After Fishman installed a set of Fluence Humbuckers into his live guitar, Scott’s perspective on his leads shifted as his options of sonic versatility increased. Scott’s pickup is an Open Core Classic Humbucker with a slight aesthetics change highlighting a new look to the Fluence line. These pickups will come in white & black covers accented with gold slugs and screws.
