The progressive metal scene demands precision, power, and a whole lot of punch. Periphery's Mark Holcomb delivers exactly that, laying down complex rhythms and aggressive melodies that define modern metal.
The PRS SE Mark Holcomb takes the defining characteristics of his premium Maryland-made instrument and distills them into a streamlined, stage-ready beast. It’s an incredibly special instrument designed to be the primary focus of your rig, both in the studio and under the stage lights.
Heavy Humbuckers with Finesse
A heavy guitar needs a heavy heart, and this instrument beats with sheer aggression. Holcomb worked closely with Seymour Duncan to voice the Scarlet and Scourge pickups, providing the exact amount of output and articulation required for sophisticated playing. They handle the highest-gain amplifiers with tight low-end tracking, yet clean up beautifully for shimmering, atmospheric interludes.
Seymour Duncan Scarlet & Scourge Pickups: Custom-voiced humbuckers that deliver aggressive bite for palm-muted riffs and crystalline clarity for intricate chords.
Coil-Tapping Capabilities: A push/pull tone knob splits the humbuckers, giving you access to bright, spanky single-coil tones on the fly.
3-Way Blade Switch: Effortlessly flick between neck warmth, bridge aggression, or a massive blended tone in the middle position.
Built for Blistering Speed
Fast playing requires an instrument that gets out of your way. The SE Mark Holcomb model delivers addictive playability tailored for technical players who need absolute fretboard freedom. From sweeping arpeggios to wide-stretch chords, the neck profile and flattened radius provide a smooth runway for your fingers, letting you execute complex passages with minimal physical fatigue.
Wide Thin Satin Maple Neck: The satin finish guarantees zero stickiness when your hands get sweaty, while the wide thin profile supports fast, technical playing.
20-Inch Radius Ebony Fretboard: An ultra-flat fretboard radius allows for ridiculously low action without fretting out during massive string bends.
25.5-Inch Scale Length: The slightly longer scale length maintains critical string tension, keeping your low notes tight and punchy even in drop tunings.
Dark, Dangerous, and Dressed to Kill
A guitar built for heavy music should look the part. This model boasts a sinister, sophisticated aesthetic that commands attention without being flashy. The combination of exotic wood textures and dark hardware creates a brooding visual appeal that perfectly matches the heavy, aggressive tones pouring out of your amplifier.
Quilted Maple Veneer: A stunning, highly figured top that gives the guitar a premium, boutique appearance under stage lighting.
Black Chrome Hardware: Stealthy, durable hardware that resists tarnishing while adding a dark, modern edge to the guitar's aesthetic.
Plate-Style Bridge: A solid, string-through-body hardtail bridge that maximizes resonance, sustain, and tuning stability.
The Ultimate Progressive Metal Axe
The PRS SE Mark Holcomb is what happens when a modern metal master collaborates with one of the world's most respected guitar builders. It captures the soul of a boutique custom build while offering the accessibility of a production model. It’s a riff-ready weapon for players who want to explore the outer limits of modern guitar playing without fighting their instrument.
Frequently Asked Questions About the PRS SE Mark Holcomb
What tuning does the PRS SE Mark Holcomb come in?
This guitar is factory-tuned to Drop C (C, G, C, F, A, D). The 25.5-inch scale length helps maintain proper string tension and intonation in this lower tuning.
Can I play clean tones on the SE Mark Holcomb?
Absolutely. By engaging the push/pull tone knob, you split the Seymour Duncan pickups to access bright, articulate single-coil sounds that are perfect for clean, atmospheric playing.
Is the neck comfortable for players with smaller hands?
The "Wide Thin" neck profile is incredibly fast and relatively slim front-to-back. While the fretboard is slightly wider to accommodate complex chording, the thin profile makes it highly manageable for most hand sizes.
Does this guitar stay in tune well?
Yes, the combination of a fixed plate-style bridge, string-through-body design, and high-quality PRS-designed tuners ensures excellent tuning stability, even under heavy playing.
What kind of music is this guitar best for?
While specifically designed for progressive metal, djent, and hard rock, its versatile pickup switching makes it highly capable of handling anything from blues and jazz to ambient soundscapes.
