PRS Mark Holcomb Gray Black

A PRS Signature Focused on Performance and Definition

Developed around the demands of modern playing, the PRS Mark Holcomb "Gray Black" emphasizes what matters in current styles: reliable intonation, fast response, and harmonic clarity that remains intact even with high gain. Its 24-fret format and 25.5" scale length modernize the PRS approach by prioritizing low-end retention and precision, while maintaining the ergonomics of a comfortable double cutaway and a refined finish.

Who Is It For and What Styles?

This electric guitar is especially aimed at intermediate to expert guitarists seeking a fast, stable instrument that demands accuracy. It is ideal for progressive metal, djent, metalcore, and modern rock, where attack definition and chord clarity are crucial. Thanks to coil splitting, it can also step outside the high-gain realm and offer more open tones (articulate crunch, precise clean arpeggios) suitable for fusion and pop-rock.

Sound

The Seymour Duncan Mark Holcomb Alpha (neck) and Omega (bridge) humbuckers are tailored for tight lows, present mids, and precise highs: perfect for maintaining detail in dense saturations and extended chords. The mahogany body provides depth and sustain, while the maple top enhances attack and brightness for better projection in a mix. The PRS fixed plate-style bridge with string-through-body design offers a direct feel under the right hand and excellent tuning stability, while the 3-position selector and push/pull tone control (split) expand the tonal palette: from thick, singing leads to more snappy and sculpted sounds, useful for clean passages and tighter rhythms. Finally, the 20" / 508 mm radius and ebony fingerboard enhance precision in fast playing and clean bends, delivering a very fluid "modern" feel.
