What mattered most to Mark Holcomb when designing his signature PRS SE model?
Scale length (longer 25.5"), fretboard radius (flat), bigger frets (24 of them) and keeping the Seymour Duncan Alpha and Omega humbuckers (valued at $300) in it, all while keeping the price under $1k. That just might make it the best bang-for-the-buck shredder out there.
You can hear more of Mark's alternate tuning-inspired work with his band Periphery, starting with his lesson below on their tune "The Way The New Goes..."
Note: Mark used the Fractal Audio Axe FX II for the playing in this video.
