PolyPaf vs. Polymath: Connor Kaminski’s Bare Knuckle Comparison
Adam Getgood's Signature BKP Polymath humbucker set.
“The bridge humbucker delivers tight low end control with zero flub under palm mute.”
“There is enough upper mid articulation to cut through a dense mix, but the voicing avoids harsh spike territory.”
