Third Generation of the Mark Holcomb Signature guitar from PRS
With the PRS SE Mark Holcomb Signature Holcomb Blue BurstPaul Reed Smith and the string genius from Periphery present the third reincarnation of the jointly developed Signature guitar. Focused on contemporary progressive metal, the chic 6-string guitar not only impresses with excellent handling in all fingerboard positions but also with tight tones even at the lowest drop tunings. While the mahogany body with a maple top and the satin-finished "Wide Thin" maple neck form the basis of the guitar's construction, Seymour Duncan Scarlet and Scourge humbuckers take care of the electrical sound transformation. Last but not least, professional Hardware parts in the form of the modern plate-style bridge and tuning stable die-cast tuners complete the equipment of the PRS SE Mark Holcomb guitar.
The PRS SE Mark Holcomb Signature Holcomb Blue Burst convinces as a signature guitar of the Periphery guitarist with a professional equipment and modern progressive metal sounds.
The unrestricted "Wide Thin" maple neck wears a grippy satin finish and is glued to the mahogany body.
Premium handling and tight tone
When designing the SE Mark Holcomb Signature guitar, Paul Reed Smith and Mark Holcomb pay special attention to the clean output of contemporary drop tunings and excellent playing characteristics. Besides established tonewoods in the form of a mahogany body with a maple top and a glued maple neck, the guitar accordingly relies on the increased string tension of the 25.5" scale length (648mm) to achieve a tight and lively responsive sound. The extremely slim "Wide Thin" neck profile and the flat 20" radius of the ebony fingerboard also create ideal conditions for the easy implementation of accomplished progressive playing techniques. Last but not least, the vivid pattern of the cloud maple veneer on the body and the obligatory Bird inlays make dignified visual statements.
The fine articulation of the Seymour Duncan Scarlet and Scourge humbuckers elicit both classic amps as well as modern amp modeling and simulations of tight progressive sounds.
Seymour Duncan Scarlet and Scourge Pickups
The electrical sound conversion of the SE Mark Holcomb takes over with the Scourge humbucker in bridge position and the Scarlet humbucker at the neck the second pickup set, which the pickup specialists of Seymour Duncan developed with the Periphery string artist. Optimally matched to the needs of modern metal guitarists, the pickup harmonizes perfectly not only with classic tube and solid-state amps but also with modern modelling amps and simulations. The tremendous clarity and razor-sharp articulation of the Seymour Duncan Scarlet and Scourge pickups expertly showcase both fast single-note lines and complex chord voicings. While the optional coil split enriches the repertoire of the six-string Mark Holcomb Signature guitar and glassy single coil sound, the classic passive 3-way electrics with general volume and tone pots allow precise adjustment of the timbre.
Encapsulated PRS die-cast tuners guarantee high precision and tuning stability even with drop tuning.
Professional hardware
Last but not least, a high-quality and well-thought-out hardware setup with contemporary functionality makes the PRS SE Mark Holcomb Signature guitar a professional workhorse for hot metal shows and extensive recording sessions. While the PRS PlateStyle bridgeanchors the strings bomb-proof in the body to support the tight sound image, the generous adjustment possibilities of its tailpieces guarantee exact intonation and comfortable, buzz-free string action even when powerful strings and low tunings are to be used. The low profile and smooth surfaces of the bridge also make palm mutes and similar playing techniques particularly comfortable. At the headstock, furthermore, PRS Die-Cast tuners guarantee a reliable and precise tuning of the Mark Holcomb 6-String Signature electric guitar.
