Tim Henson, the lead guitarist of Polyphia, has advanced the sound of progressive music by blending diverse influences and tones with amazing skills. The Fluence Signature Tim Henson 7-string pickup set is co-designed with Tim. It offers a wide range of tones in one set, from clean single - coil sounds to powerful lead and rhythm tones. The neck and bridge pickups in this set each have three unique voices. You can enjoy ultra - clean single - coil and nylon - string sounds, as well as Tim's favorite humbucker tones. Combining the single - coil voices of the neck and bridge pickups gives you Tim's perfect single - coil combination tone. Key features include multi - voice functionality. You can set it once and forget, or wire it to switch between three musically complementary voices. It can directly replace standard humbucker pickups. It's rechargeable on your guitar, and an optional lithium - ion battery pack provides more playing hours between charges than a standard 9V battery (not included). The neck has three voices: a thick and smooth neck humbucker, a hyper - clean nylon string surrogate, and Tim's fluid neck single - coil. The bridge also has three voices: a hot - rodded Classic - based lead tone, a combination of Tim's favorite bridge humbuckers, and Tim's ideal single - coil combination tone when used with the neck coil. Specifications show different peak frequencies for the neck and bridge in each voice, different magnetic materials (Alnico V for the neck and Ceramic VIII for the bridge), magnetic circuits, pole spacings, output impedances, current draws, and battery options with up to 110 hours of battery life for the set.
Using this Fishman Fluence Signature Series Tim Henson 7 - string pickup set is easy. First, you can directly replace your standard humbucker pickups with it. If you want to switch between different tones, you can wire it up to toggle between the three voices of each pickup. For the battery, you can use a 9 - volt battery or the optional rechargeable battery pack (not included). When using the rechargeable option, you can enjoy more playing time between charges. As for maintenance, keep your guitar and the pickups clean. Avoid exposing them to extreme temperatures and moisture. If you're not using the guitar for a long time, it's a good idea to remove the battery to prevent any potential damage. That way, your pickup set will keep performing at its best for a long time.
