Description
Mark Holcomb’s namesake PRS SE was built around the demands of modern progressive metal, and it shows in every detail. The foundation is PRS’s tried-and-true recipe of a maple-capped mahogany body, but Holcomb pushed the top further with a violin-style carve and a quilted maple veneer that gives the guitar real visual presence on stage, finished here in Holcomb Blue Burst.
Around back, the maple neck wears PRS’s Wide Thin profile — a shape that trims down the width just enough to let demanding legato runs, sweeps, and chord work move without resistance. It’s a neck designed for players who spend a lot of time in the upper registers and need speed without sacrificing control.
The real story, though, is in the electronics. This version of the SE Mark Holcomb debuts Seymour Duncan’s Scarlet and Scourge humbuckers, a pairing voiced specifically to stay articulate under heavy gain while translating cleanly through modeling amps and DI setups — a priority for anyone building tones on a computer as much as a tube amp. Cleans stay pristine and dynamic, while distorted tones hold their clarity instead of collapsing into mush.
