I've had the Holcomb SE for several months and it's hands down the best guitar I have ever felt in my hands, it plays beautifully, it sounds amazing... 10/10 will buy again for the 7 string.

Haken "Prosthetic" is a fun 7-string song. It's in B standard, so there's no down tuning required. Check it out!

I normally prefer a myriad of six strings, but with less room to use at the moment I use a seven and a capo so I don't have to restring and retune all the time.

Hi Sophie, I just got my 1st SE guitar, & u r right, they do have slightly fatter & wider necks. Mine is listed as Pattern Thin, but still feels a tad fat & wide. I tried a Custom 24 Pattern Thin & the neck was much more comfortable for me to play.

Have this one for 1,5 years, here are my thoughts. 1) Locking tuners are needed; 2) 26.5 scale is still a bit noodley for drop G low strings and requires a bit more fingers stretch for high strings. (I use Elixir set for 8 string, i put the 8th instead of 7th). I got multiscale Ormsby after this guitar and I barely touch the PRS. On the other side pickups on PRS are more agressive, metalish. So probably it works great for Mark, but doesn't really works for me. At least in terms of comfort.

I think you are Brave to venture into 7 Strings Pushing the envelope further. when I was your age you couldn't even buy a half decent guitar. Britan put an embargo on USA 🎸 guitars. I was very ignorant about electric ⚡ instruments. I put my trust in a lady who owned Chaimberlins Musical instrument store in WIGAN. She said for 25 Quid she had some good guitars coming in. When it arrived it was the largest Super jumbo acoustic from Finland called Landola. I was Gutted I tried to play it 😅 but it was like grappling with my Granny's Wardrobe 😂. I was going in reverse ⚙️ gear with my musical development 😭 for Years. Best regards 😸 Hope you find some 👍 Great inspiration 🤠.John.

I’m a huge Nevermore fan so I’ve been down the 7 string rabbit hole for almost two decades. You should learn some of their tunes if you haven’t already, Jeff is still the 7 string master in my opinion! Also Conquering Dystopia and the first Alluvial album stuff is sick, Keith Merrow is obviously another 7 string god.
