The PRS SE Mark Holcomb SVN 7-string electric guitar offers modern prog metal players the perfect combination of crushing high-gain tones, pristine cleans, and effortless playability. Designed to the exacting specifications of Mark Holcomb from progressive metal legends Periphery, this guitar is sure to capture the attention of any audience.
One of the most notable features of the SE Mark Holcomb SVN is its revamped Seymour Duncan pickups. The guitar introduces two all-new pickups to the PRS family: Mark's signature Scarlet and Scourge humbuckers. These pickups were specifically designed to excel with modeling amplifiers, offering a full tone with a slightly lower output than one might expect for a metal maestro like Mark. The result is a humbucker with incredible note-to-note clarity, articulate highs, and tight lows that never feel muddy - essential qualities for guitarists who regularly dive into down-tuned depths.
Periphery has helped set the bar for modern progressive metal, and Mark Holcomb SVN is a lot of the reason why. His style combines exotic note runs, intense jack-hammer riffing, and fluty single-note melodies, all of which require a highly specialized instrument. While Mark's Maryland-made Limited-edition signature model has been a huge hit, this SE makes his signature instrument attainable for a much wider audience.
Every aspect of the SE Mark Holcomb SVN has been crafted to allow an unrestricted playing experience. The maple neck is capped with a beautiful piece of ebony that feels sleek under the fingers, while its 20-inch fretboard radius aids in wide bends and nimble string-to-string playing. The neck also boasts PRS' famed Wide Thin neck carve that is full enough to remain comfortable, but thin enough for you to fly up and down the frets.
The SE Mark Holcomb's rich-yet-balanced sound is a result of its timeless tonewood combination: mahogany capped with a solid maple top, here with a stunning quilted maple veneer. The mahogany body gives you natural tonal warmth, which is offset perfectly by the brighter tone of its maple top. Together, these tonewoods give you an incredibly balanced sound. The set maple neck and 24-fret ebony fretboard offer smooth playability and a full two-octave range on every string.
In conclusion, the PRS SE Mark Holcomb SVN 7-string electric guitar is an excellent choice for any progressive metal player looking for a high-quality instrument that offers exceptional sound and playability. The all-new Seymour Duncan pickups, specialized design, and beautiful tonewoods make it a guitar that is sure to impress both on stage and in the studio.
