PRS SE Mark Holcomb - Holcomb Blue Burst

Progressive Metal Precision • Cosmic Clarity • SE Signature Power

Unleash prog-metal firepower with the PRS SE Mark Holcomb in Holcomb Blue Burst, a signature model designed to channel the atmospheric melodies, tectonic riffs, and rhythmic complexity that define Periphery’s sound across the musical cosmos. Crafted in close collaboration with Mark Holcomb himself, this SE model distills the essence of his Maryland-made signature guitar into a more accessible, streamlined package—without sacrificing tone, performance, or interstellar-level playability.

Dressed in a stunning Holcomb Blue Burst with a shimmering quilted maple veneer, this guitar looks like it was carved from the heart of a deep-space nebula. The 24-fret, 25.5" scale Wide Thin satin maple neck provides warp-speed comfort, while the 20" radius ebony fretboard offers a sleek, flat surface designed for precision riffing, effortless bends, and cleanly articulated chord work—even at escape velocity.

At the core of its sound are Mark’s signature Seymour Duncan Scarlet and Scourge pickups—engineered for crushing low end, razor-sharp clarity, and fluid lead tones. Whether you're layering complex harmonies, executing sophisticated chord voicings, or tearing through modern high-gain landscapes, these pickups ensure every note punches through the mix with surgical accuracy.

A 3-way blade switch and push/pull tone knob for coil-tapping expand your tonal universe, letting you shift from humbucker savagery to single-coil shimmer instantly. Black chrome hardware adds a stealthy, modern edge, keeping the aesthetic tight, aggressive, and ready for launch.

Designed to be a true workhorse, Mark describes this SE as “an incredibly special instrument… the primary focus of my rig in the studio and onstage.” One play-through and you’ll understand why.

The PRS SE Mark Holcomb isn’t just a signature model—
it’s a high-precision prog-metal starfighter built for players who demand clarity, power, and effortless playability across the cosmos.
