A Signature Set Tailored for Clarity in High Gain
Inspired by Mark Holcomb's modern approach and his use of high gain amp modeling, the Scarlet & Scourge humbuckers have a clear goal: to maintain maximum clarity as gain increases, while retaining the energy needed to cut through a dense mix. Whether you're playing extended chords, syncopated lines, or riffs in low tunings, this set emphasizes attack, note separation, and controlled dynamic response.
Scarlet (Neck): Clean Attack, Nuance, and Precision
The Scarlet is designed to offer true versatility in clean and crunch tones without sacrificing articulation. Its ceramic magnet provides a fast response and precise tracking, especially useful for detailed arpeggios, expressive leads, and parts requiring very clear touch. It maintains a tight and defined character, ideal for guitarists who want a neck pickup that stays "present" and precise, even with modern settings.
Scourge (Bridge): Anchored Lows, Tight Mids, Controlled Saturation
The Scourge uses an Alnico VIII magnet to deliver a solid low end and precise mids, essential for tight rhythms and palm-mutes that hit just right. It's designed to retain clarity under heavy saturation and support heavy riffs without a "muddy" effect. In set configuration, it naturally pairs with the Scarlet for consistent position changes, whether in modern rhythm or solo playing.
