Description
Mark Holcomb is one of three guitarists in progressive metal band Periphery, but often, it is he who's responsible for playing the most complex and intricate parts in their songs. In order to keep up with the fast and frenetic nature of Periphery's music, Holcomb therefore needs a guitar that can keep up with the pace.
Teaming up with PRS a few years ago, Mark's signature SE model is optimised to cope with the demands and stresses that come with modern metal music and touring. Key features include Mark's signature Seymour Duncan Alpha and Omega pickups, PRS' playable 'Wide Thin' neck profile and an ultra-flat 20"-radius Ebony fingerboard.
Ergonomic Mahogany Body
PRS' SE Mark Holcomb sports a Mahogany body, delivering a warm sound with plenty of harmonic richness in the mid-range. Boasting a new-for-2022 'Shallow Violin' carve top, a belly cut and a deep lower cutaway — the PRS Holcomb signature model offers a comfortable feel that allows you to play without hindrance in either sitting or standing positions.
Contemporary 'Wide Thin' Neck
Joining the body is a bright-sounding Maple neck shaped to PRS' modern 'Wide Thin' profile. While the material adds plenty of top-end snap to give notes more immediacy, the unique neck carve provides an incredibly contemporary feel, especially in conjunction with the large frets and flat 20" fingerboard radius.
High-Quality Hardware
Although Mark Holcomb's signature guitar may be a part of a the affordable SE line, PRS spared no expense when it came to the instrument's hardware. The PRS Plate Style bridge keeps things solid, with its beautifully-machined design offering a comfy feel that keeps your right-hand comfortable when playing intense palm-muted riffs. At the other end of the guitar you’ll find a set of PRS-designed tuners that'll keep your tuning super-stable too.
Seymour Duncan Signature Pickups
The PRS SE Mark Holcomb is equipped with a set of the Periphery guitarist's signature Seymour Duncan Alpha/Omega pickups. Emitting plenty of output, these immensely powerful humbuckers can cope with thick doses of high-gain yet remain focused and clear. However, they're not one-trick ponies! Via the push-pull tone control, you can split the humbuckers to attain glassy single-coil sounds that are perfect for ambient cleans.
