A New Signature Voice Inspired by Mark Holcomb's Playing
Known for pushing the boundaries of progressive metal with Periphery, Mark Holcomb sought a set capable of remaining clear in modern saturations while highlighting the attacks, nuances, and harmonic complexity of his playing. The Scarlet & Scourge duo was born from this brief: a sound that "cuts" through the mix without sacrificing musicality or dynamics.
Who Is It For and What Styles?
This set is aimed at guitarists who play in low tunings, ultra-tight rhythms, or alternate between heavy gain walls, edgy crunch, and more open passages. If you use coil splitting, extended voicings, or dense chords, you will appreciate the note separation and quick response, whether rehearsing, recording, or performing live.
Two Complementary Humbuckers: Scarlet at the Neck, Scourge at the Bridge
The Scarlet is designed for the neck position with a clear goal: to remain articulate and precise even when the tone gets heavier. Thanks to its ceramic magnets and calibrated output level, it retains definition in clean and crunch tones while delivering a sharp attack for fast runs and detailed chords.
The Scourge, intended for the bridge, relies on Alnico VIII magnets to provide solid lows and precise mids, perfect for anchoring modern riffs, adding impact to palm-muted notes, and maintaining excellent clarity under saturation. With its 4 conductors, the set also facilitates advanced wiring options (split, series/parallel) depending on your electronics.
