From guitarist, bassist, producer, and former Periphery member Adam 'Getgood' Nolly:
"The Polymath humbuckers are an antidote to scooped, harsh or boomy tone, they’re all about broad, characterful midrange, addictively juicy playing feel and trim, percussive low end. They’ve got just the right amount of output to be capable of any style, whether classic cleans, wailing leads or brutal chugs, and anything in between.
That said, the Polymaths have real personality too: the bridge pickup has chunky pick attack, vocal midrange, and a harmonic richness that glorifies the nuances in your playing, while the neck pickup is deep, woody, and clear when clean, taking on a liquidy and articulate character under gain. Dynamics-wise, the Polymaths are right in the sweet spot again: they have rewarding responsiveness that invites you to dig in, but they’re not fussy or unflattering on your technique.
The coils also combine and split beautifully, but my personal favorite is the parallel-coil sound of each pickup - they really sound somewhere between a P90 and a hot tele. It’s amazing to have such genuinely usable alternative voices at your disposal.
The bridge coil of The Sultans is wound a little hotter for more improved balance with the mid and neck coils, maintaining an open voice with good harmonic overtones and presence."
