New Polyphia Sig Dimarzio's

[Avedas]

I am intrigued by the single coils in both guitars. I'm just waiting on the right guitar with an HSS or HS configuration for me to acquire.

I don't understand why everyone keeps comparing them to Chon or someone else and saying "X did it better". I never got into Chon like I have these guys. I prefer Yvette Young over Chon as well.

I find them all kinda boring unless it's background music, but This Town Needs Guns kicks ass for that genre.

The notorious bridge is only a mini bucker.

Also I get triggered when sigs don’t come as a full set.

Didn't the Merrow Fluence also just come with a regular classic neck? I don't know if they adjust the "artist markup" price to account for that, but it does seem a little silly when a signature set isn't actually a set.

This is true.

It's not a set, but raise your hand if you play a guitar with a mini-H / S / S configuration. It's a weird pickup configuration. For that reason, it's obvious why they would not sell them as a set. Most people would pick and choose. Given how uncommon mini-humbuckers are, I suspect the single coils are going to sell a lot better.

Nooooo

The one guys thing is a set.

It’s a mini bucker and 2 single coils. That’s cool. You can buy it as a set or individual whatever. And his guitar uses a pickguard so you can use the mini bucker.

The other dude is just a bridge.

Y u no have special neck dude.

Eek. All I can say is, when your audience can't tell if you're joking, it's not a good thing. 'Entitled white kids whose parents have money' is enough of a real thing, maybe it's not a good persona to put on? They're great players, but these vids made me want to avoid everything about them.

Which is too bad. That 'mini hum' is actually pretty cool.

Best thing about their music is its all instrumental (some voice clips but no vocals) so you can just listen to them play and not have to deal with them.

Although it looks like this now, that is not the case at all. They aren't rich kids, they didn't start getting remotely nice stuff until they got with Ibanez, any other gear you see in videos they borrowed. I like some Polyphia stuff and saw them live with Chon last year, they're phenomenal musicians and put on a great show the crowd loved, though I definitely like Chon better composition wise and personality wise and do agree their schtick now is over the top, they're trying to riff off of hip hop bling culture perhaps semi seriously.

Woah, I was reading this thread on my phone and immediately thought you guys were exaggerating a bit. So much negativity, derogatory comments and all.

Then I watched the videos...

 

[MerlinTKD]

Steve Vai did it better

If any of you have supported either one of these people monetarily in anyway whatsoever I hope you get a really bad cold. I mean I won’t wish death on you but these two guys seem like complete fucking assholes. And by now pretty much any pick up you want is already been made so I wish they would quit With the signature pick ups.

What if you like their gear but not their music? I buy stuff because I like the gear and not necessarily the artist.

I used to hate them, then I grew up and realised they're just fooling around. I mean shouldn't we all be happy instrumental guitar music is getting some mainstream exposure?

Isn't this kinda like being a lyrical hip hop fan and someone saying "Hey, at least the music is getting some exposure." to a new mumble rap track that's blowing up? lol

Even as I have added to it... you're not wrong

I think this video makes it obvious these guys like to joke lol

I really liked the riff that starts at 0:38.What puckup is he using in his 8 string to get that single coil sound?

Good question. I am also curious. because that's pretty dang spanky.
