Every Holcomb SE I’ve played feels amazing, extremely consistent guitar

[@evandraperdigital]

I love mine, and seeing Mark play it so much makes me feel like it’s a really solid instrument and not just a budget signature.

[@JHOLE21]

I agree however I have a horrible time with string buzz above the 12th fret and intonation of the low E, But the neck/ frets/pickups are all amazing.

My roommate and I both have one and use it daily :) the alpha/omega set just sings so beautifully in that guitar

I like Mark's playing. Not afraid of big chords.

I hate string noise! One of my current problems. And I notice I nick the string with my pointer finger when I try to speed pick. But I’m starting to get sweeping down! Just a couple riffs, but I’ll get there! Keep playing!

[@PitchforkStudios]

NO ONE and I mean NO ONE, writes guitar riffs like Mark. Way too unique.

[@gafuraskarov2814]

Well in prog music, Marks sound can be called one of the main influences for different bands. A lot of people write riffs like him. His style is big chords and fast runs between them. Olly Steele and John Browne right almost like him.

[@xjleitex]

Mark has been my inspiration and favorite overall guitarist for the last 6 or so years. He's absolutely brilliant when it comes to writing "metal" guitar among other things. He takes a unique and fresh approach to writing and it's videos like these that make me pickup my guitar and want to be better.

I was suffering immensely from depersonalisation/derealisation as a symptom of anxiety around the time P4 came out. It made me utterly miserable and suicidal. I’ve never connected with a lyric more than “the warmth that reflects let’s me know I’m still alive”. I listened to that album most days for months, and I’m happy to say I’m in a better place now. Hearing my musical idols tell me I was going to be okay was a huge help. Thank you for everything you do ❤️

[@noxiouspanther4796]

[@FartsTasteDelicious]

Zach alan It’s more accurately .5% to 1% at the absolute lowest which means 2-3 million deaths in the US alone and up to 100 million worldwide. Not to mention potentially permanent respiratory and cardiovascular damage to the rest of the population that survives and the virtually absolute chance that the virus will evolve with extreme wide spread making cures and vaccines potentially useless to new forms.
