Polyphia Tone?

I've been listening to Polyphia lately, and I'm wondering how they're getting that single-coil-esque tone from HH Ibanez's.

Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-6j3kqh0Sw

I've tried that riff with a Classic Stack in my Strat, too much high end, doesn't sound close. Position 4 with the Cool Rails added sounds too dull.

Are they running the humbuckers in parallel? Splitting them? I honestly have no idea.

And I don't think it's the AZ series either. In their debut album Muse, it's more or less the same sound, yet they were playing RG's and Music Man's.

Help would be appreciated!

Thanks.
