I absolutely love a guitar that allows you to hear the extra chord voicings without ruining the gain. To me, this is what makes a pickup stand out above the others. Your demo track sounds great with this guitar! Also, if you programmed that drum track, phenomenal job, Hunter!!!

My Mark Holcomb has been my main guitar for the past 4 years now. I love it, it might be my favourite ever. My right hand loves the bridge and scale length, my left hand loves the satin neck and flat fret board. I recently tried an Ibanez Q I loved and found out it has almost exactly the same fingerboard, neck size, and scale length. So these may be the specs for me. My problem with my PRS is that it weighs about 4.5 kg and kills my back to hold or sit with
@synonyx Жыл бұрын
I have the 7 string. I'd say the Holcomb's are the best metal guitar for the money. But even then the push-pull and those pickups sound amazing. I'm going to eventually spring for the 6 string.
@Andrew_182 Жыл бұрын
Outside of all the various flavors (bodyshapes, SDs/EMGs/Fluences, Hipshot/tone pros locking/floyds etc) LTDs 1000 series, I'd agree they're probably the best for the money, but with the LTDs coming with stainless frets and locking tuners standard across the line for the same money, I'd have to give them the edge personally.

@Syber the newer Schecter omen elite series punch WAY outside their weight too homie. The 8 string is an absolute monster for under a grand. I got mine and a hardshell for just over 900 bucks. Hell of a deal IMO.

If they came out with a 26.5 or whatever scale that the 7 string has I’d go and get it immediately. I’ll look other places but I’m starting to like the crazy bulbous guitar look. That strat shape is a little boring.
@davidgsings5064 10 ай бұрын
I opted for the 6, and it has been my go-to workhorse for the past three years. I get extremely heavy low end, very clear chords even through a gainy Death-esque tone, and a very comfortable satin neck

I got the original as my first nice guitar and I just didn't jive with it. I was okay at guitar then but I'd only played a few guitars at that point. I didn't know anything when I first started and thought I could like the radius and my ears couldn't point out why I didn't like the sound. After trying a bunch of other guitars and getting better I realized that the pickups and fingerboard radius weren't my thing. It also didn't stay in tune very well. Now that I know what I like, guitar has gotten way more fun. 30" baritone in f standard? Now you got me.
@TheFeatInk 11 ай бұрын
Highly based opinion
@K707OR30 Жыл бұрын
I agree with you on the fingerboard radius. I had the old version for a few weeks and I loved it, but then I found that my wrist and tendons in my left hand would start hurting after a little while literally every time I played it. Never had that problem before. I wanted to see if I would adjust to it so to speak, but it wasn’t happening. I traded it in, no issues with that since. It’s really a shame because otherwise it ticks all the boxes for me and strikes the perfect balance of being visually stunning but still is a total metal guitar.
@signal_rr 8 ай бұрын
That happened to me years ago, ordered an Ibanez Prestige due to the specs and style being appealing but the wizard neck was causing sharp aches in my hand. After a couple months, had to let it go as my issues weren't improving. Really like Mark's PRS, but I have a feeling it would be similar as you pointed out. Bummer huh?

To be honest, I disliked previous version only cause of the Alpha and Omega, with Scarlett and Scourge it sounds more…manageable for those us, who does not need to be in such a tight mix as Periphery has with 3 guitars, each has to have a place, make sense for Mark. But then again, it just such a good mix for metal: mahogany, maple, ebony. Special kudos for Mark and PRS for NOT going stainless steel frets, they add additional zing to already bright pickups. They only “meh” I can think of is lack of locking tuners, which is kind for a must have nowadays.

I’ve heard somewhere the bridge pickup has an Alnico 8 magnet as opposed to the typical Alnico-5 or ceramic magnet you find in most Metal oriented pickups. It sounds like it works wonders in a high gain setting given the video, but I’d love to see how it works in even lower tunings.

I use the omega on my guitar I built which is shaped like a tele. In my opinion it's my favorite. I compared it to my emg and my dime bag signature pick up. I'm also going through a katana so could be the amp. Also ran it through my petrucci sim and that took me a while to find a tone I liked

Hey Agu, hope you’ve been doing well! I write you today with a problem I’ve been having, and I trust your opinion I just upgraded my noname chinese 2x12 to basically a pair of Matamp 2x12s and the difference is kind of disappointing. My chinese cab sounds so clear and studio like, and the new ones with ''real'' speakers almost sound fake, like a small practice amp kind of tone, and also kind of distant. any ideas at all? the new cabs are also huge 2x12s with Celestion G12T100s and Eminence Tonkers, so maybe that has something to do with it? I had an Emperor 2x12 with V30s and same issue. Using an Orange CR120 so maybe thats it ?

The first thing I learned playing live was to add back in the treble. A nice warm, bedroom tone is useless if you want to stand out in a mix. I’m not a metal guy (for live playing) and almost always play P90s to get the grind and punch but still cut in the mix.

Comparing my 1st gen Indonesian (2020) Holcomb to the new one, everything is better on the 2023 version. Volume and tone pot feel higher quality. The black nut is way better from the crappy white one (that I replaced on mine), but still not to the level of graphtech. At first I didn't found the new pickup better than the old one, but after a month and bit of pickup height experiment. I recorded a song with the new ones and man I fell in love with them. It is now my favorite guitar. Who could have guessed that the guitar that dethroned my Holcomb is a New Holcomb 😂.
