PRS Modèle Signature Mark Holcomb Cobalt Smokeburst

A PRS Signature Built for Mark Holcomb's Modern Playing Style

Designed with Mark Holcomb (Periphery), this PRS Mark Holcomb Signature embodies the modern progressive metal approach: a dense yet clear tone, fast response, and playability that encourages precision. Made in the USA, it stands as a performance-oriented model in the PRS lineup, with clear technical choices (25.5" / 648 mm scale, ebony fingerboard, 20" / 508 mm radius) to support complex rhythms and demanding leads.

Who It's For and Which Styles the PRS Mark Holcomb Signature Excels In

This guitar is primarily aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking a responsive, stable, and highly precise electric guitar. It's perfect for modern metal, progressive styles, and low tunings, while remaining convincing on clearer, more percussive tones thanks to the coil-split and 5-position selector switch. If you like alternating heavy rhythms, clean arpeggios, and more "jazzy" phrasing, it maintains remarkable definition.

The Tone

The combination of a mahogany body and mango top offers an interesting balance: a warm and solid foundation with a clear attack and strong presence in the mix. On the electronics side, the signature duo of Seymour Duncan Scourge (bridge) and Scarlet (neck) pickups is designed to retain clarity even with high gain: tight lows, structured mids, and precise highs, ideal for syncopated riffs and extended voicings. The 5-position selector switch opens a wide palette, including dedicated coil-split positions for airier and more "biting" textures.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To stay as close as possible to the original feel, opt for 10-52 gauge electric strings (the same as the factory setup). A microfiber cloth for maintenance and a tuner are also reliable essentials to fully exploit low tunings and playing stability.
