The band Periphery has become a force to be reckoned with in the progressive metal scene thanks to their complex rhythms and soaring melodies. Guitarist Mark Holcomb helps achieve this full, lethal sound with his PRS guitars and signature Seymour Duncan Alpha and Omega pickups. PRS and Holcomb have worked closely together to develop a truly unique guitar for the SE Series lineup.

Mark Holcomb talks about his signature PRS SE model:


"With my SE signature model, we managed to capture all of the defining characteristics of my Maryland-made guitar and turn it into a streamlined, less-costly package. It is an incredibly special instrument, and one that is now the primary focus of my rig in the studio and onstage." - Mark Holcomb, Periphery

The SE Mark Holcomb model truly stands on its own in the PRS lineup and delivers addictive playability thanks to some unique specifications, including a 24-fret, 25.5" scale length wide thin satin maple neck with 20" radius ebony fretboard. Holcomb's signature pickups provide the right amount of output and articulation whether you're playing sophisticated chords or solos and whether you're playing alone or working in the mix of a band. Other specifications include a quilted maple veneer, black chrome hardware, and a 3-way blade pickup switch with push/pull tone knob for coil splitting.

I'm a big fan of prs and the band periphery. Mark Holcombs guitar parts are brilliantly written along with the two other guitar players. Mark got prs to build him a 25.5 inch scale length guitar which they are not known for doing. The fretboard radius is another plus. 20 inches makes bends easier and fast playing feel smooth. The pickups sound phenomenal. Good balance in them. The satin neck helps with grip and speed at the same time. When I got the guitar it wasn't set up. The pickups were right up next to the string and the f was tuned to an e. But other than that this guitar is made well, and executed perfectly. Thank you zZounds for making this purchase happen.
