An Evolution Designed for Modern Progressive Metal
Mark Holcomb's musicality continues to push progressive metal forward: his demands for definition, dynamics, and clarity have led to several signature pickups. Following the highly "precision and flexibility" approach of the Alpha and Omega, Seymour Duncan and Mark developed the Scarlet and Scourge with a clear goal: to maintain the necessary impact for high gain while gaining even more clarity for his complex voicings, coil splitting, and low tunings.
Who Is This Scarlet and Scourge Set For?
This set is designed for progressive metal, djent, and modern metal guitarists seeking an ultra-precise sound on a 7-string guitar. If you alternate between extended chords, syncopated rhythms, tight palm mutes, and expressive leads, you will appreciate the note separation and the responsive attack from the picking hand. Both in the studio and on stage, these humbuckers are engineered to remain clear when the mix gets dense.
Two Complementary Humbuckers for a Complete Spectrum
The Scarlet (neck) is not a "round and muddy" pickup: it aims for optimal articulation, with a present high end and a clear attack, even in clean or crunch settings. Its ceramic magnet delivers a tight and precise tone, especially useful for fast passages and nuanced playing.
The Scourge (bridge), with its Alnico VIII magnet, anchors the sound with firm lows and defined mids. The result is a massive yet controlled rhythmic foundation that retains bite and separation for complex chords, heavy riffs, and intense saturation sections. The entire set was developed through meticulous testing to achieve the right output level and response for modern high gain tones.
Made in California, Santa Barbara, these passive pickups combine power, precision, and versatility for modern playing where every note must remain intelligible.
