PRS SE Mark Holcomb Signature Demo/Review || Featuring Seymour Duncan Alpha and Omega Pickups!!

[@iMatty_2]

Mark uses his SEs on the road instead of his USA models. He in fact told a story at a clinic that I went to, that a fan brought one of guitars he purchased to a show to get It signed, and asked if mark would play it during the show and he did. He said they feel so good to him always that itnjust felt like his own personal instrument

[@agufish]

Looks great, sounds cool, totally not my type of guitar at all. What do you guys think? And if you guys want to see the Jake Bowen model, check out my Patreon page. We're about 70% to the first goal. Once we hit that, I'll do a Jake Bowen video! :)

[@michaelnatsariym3690]

Agufish I would get it just to hang on my wall. #art

[@skelekiankurata713]

Lol, you actually did it after saying you won't for 3 months xD

[@LukeDKramer]

You gotta do Jake Bowen's man!

[@AaronMorgan666]

Agufish plz review the prs 277 baritone. has 13-68 strings on it and is tuned B to b. saw this at a skillet concert and holy shit dude!!! it djents!!! I know a skillet concert... but they r heavy live.

[@guitarstalkandtech9085]

Agufish What do you use to record your videos? Very nice quality!

[@thebuddybud]

It is ACTUALLY a crime that your channel doesn't have more subs. This is an outrage

[@dantesaliba8533]

Agreed

[@fuzzmountain7583]

Completely agree!

[@arnnavgupta874]

Yeah it is outrageous

[@arnnavgupta874]

Yeah it is outrageous

[@raviolibusiness]

Can we all just stop and appreciate how epic the demo song is? Love it so much!

[@123gianlu123]

Man I really love your videos. You kinda go against everything I hear or read on the internet. I mean you hate flat radius fingerboard and love super round ones, which is pretty unusual: You love tune-o-matic bridge which is probably the most hated bridge out there, and at the same moment flat hipshot-like bridges feel weird to you. The Alpha/Omega set is a very "djent" oriented, super dynamic, super tight pickup set, and yet you totally went for a different approach, you just played your style and I really appreciate that. Your channel and your reviews have your unique and personal flavour, and though we have pretty distant tastes guitarwise, I really enjoy hearing your playing and your opinions. Still, I think you should have played some wide open chords with a full gain sound to show the pickups clarity, which is one of their selling points. Cheers mate, have an awesome day!

[@agufish]

Thanks dude! Really glad to hear you're enjoying the videos! I like what I like, and I try to be clear and consistent about my preferences, that way if people watch my videos for a while, there's kind of a clear gauge about what to expect from the instrument if they ever play it in person (whether they agree with me or not lol). Guitar is such a subjective topic, just reciting the specs isn't that useful for really portraying what the instrument is all about on video, so I try to add that personal approach. :) And yeah, maybe I should have tried to write something a bit "djent-ier", but as I said, totally not my style of guitar at all lol.

[@giltyakhtar]

I thought tune o matic bridge was in lespauls and explorers

[@fredriksvard2603]

What? Tuneomatic is the best thing ever.

[@caspers5473]

It´s a shame that Ibanez has butchered the Jake Bowen budget signatures. They are absolutely horrible. PRS on the other hand seem to have really honored Mark Holcomb here.

[@marbesto]

Ibanez sux

[@aaronwilliams7988]

Marvin Chavez obviously you’ve never played one

[@williamdistasio9358]

Yep, just picked one of these up today. I like it a lot. The only thing I will do to it, is to put hipshot locking tuners on it. I also have mishas Jackson and it's really awesome too. I'm not that impressed with Jake's Ibanez model, but the one HE plays sure looks great. Anyway, for me, this MH PRS SE was worth every penny. I bought it brand new with the really nice PRS gig bag that c ame with it for the low low price of $959

[@WhoAmIWill]

Jakes guitar just seems to raise more questions than anything. Like why bother with the Floyd rose if there’s only really one song in all of periphery’s catalog that uses it? At least his new white model seems a lot more reasonable, plus it comes with the pickups he actually uses unlike mishas cheaper sig models.

[@arjunchaparala1014]

@@WhoAmIWill he says he likes it for the fine tuners, but then that also raises the question of why not just use those lo pro fx bridges that they used on the old MTM and m80m

[@CK-kc7wn]

I have seen Mark use this guitar live before, and I think that speaks volumes to the quality, which PRS SE have been already known for for a while. Some of the best import guitars you can buy for under $1000.

[@jonathananthony1901]

I have to say, the arrangement of your songs has gotten soooo good! Loving the blend of clean and distorted tones!

[@agufish]

This is actually an older song, but I thought it fit the guitar really well :)

[@superfrenchfry1357]

This is hands down the best guitar and gear review channel on youtube, you actually say what you want to say about the gear, and your production and sound run throughs are TOP NOTCH

[@XMetalChefX]

FINALLY a demo with just a mic cab no post eq BS. Always annoys me I want to hear the RAW sound.

[@jessesacchetti2518]

I personally own this guitar and it takes a little getting used to due to the board radius but I absolutely love this guitar. Coming from guitars with EMG's these pickups also are way better and more versatile. Not to mention it looks awesome!

[@DeathShark00]

ikr. 100% agreed. I recently got a schecter with active emgs... never again. sounds like shit no matter what I do.

[@usaflagraybans]

I love my Schecter Atx C7 because the neck is amazing to play, but the pickups did have to go when I got it. The Duncan Blackouts are not terrible for certain stuff, but you can tell that Dino Cazares had a hand in their design because there is no midrange on them. Pulled em out and swapped them for a Bareknuckle Painkiller bridge pickup and an Abraxas neck pickup and the guitar sounds amazing now.

[@BandanaBoris]

Somehow fell into the EMG Trap aswell with my Prophecy EX , lots of mids but lacking punch. Really dig the Holcomb PRS but its way above 1000 Bucks here, guess i have to choke down my GAS.

[@guitarstalkandtech9085]

tom balmer you probably bought a shitty schecter. And also depends what guitar the emgs are in, some emgs sound like shit in certain guitars

[@guitarstalkandtech9085]

Rene R how are you liking your prophecy ex. I'm receiving mine tomorrow brand new

[@kasolkay]

Demo Song was actually pretty catchy.

[@victorteran559]

Played this guitar today at my local guitar center. Never heard of halcomb until today but i have to say im impressed with this guys guitar. Seriously considering buying one.

[@jonathananthony1901]

I know this video is about a year old, but I had to comment! I got the chance to try out one of these guitars last week through a dual rectifier and I was absolutely Blown Away. I have two USA core model PRS guitars, and this is the only SE model I played that actually felt, played, and sounded as good as my USA models. This was a fantastic demo Hunter!

[@anthonyrojas2205]

I like that your one of the only you tubers who still use actual gear other than just software

[@creatinovic]

that song is absolutely brilliant

[@intheblues]

Great vid dude! Nice job.

[@agufish]

Thanks Shane! Glad to see you're branching out and braving the world of angry music :)

[@jamesgoodman7096]

I have recently purchased one of these, and I'm a convert. I have always played tunamatics in Les Paul style guitars, and have used hotter EMG style pickups - before recently moving to Bare Knuckle. However, since buying this I'm a convert to Seymour Duncan - the omega is fantastic. Super dynamic and loves the gain, but a little less hot and far more controllable. The flat board is great, and the neck is not too thin. The string through hard tail is also amazing. The only thing I have changed out is the tuners for locking ones. I disagree that the neck is for lead players, I am very much a rhythm style player and this suits me very well. Probably the best all around neck I've played at this price point. However, great review! See if you can get the 7 string on there!

[@michaelnatsariym3690]

This has become one of my favorite songs 🤘🏼

[@michaelnatsariym3690]

Appithkia what he's playing. Addiction by Hunter. Its on his patreon.

[@intrsoul]

I picked up one of these at the shop, mostly to see how the longer scale felt. I was completely blown away - the scale, huge frets and satin neck make it effortless to play. Typically i hate ceramic pickups, but i love these - very responsive to your guitar volume. Just stellar, and i was playing through a mid-gain boutique amp (Friedman Dirty Shirley)

[@paulallyngoff7472]

Would you say this is in the same ballpark as a Les Paul Studio? Thinking about trading mine

[@DingDongDaddyFromDumas]

It’s so weird to me that a 25.5in scale is long to some people lol, it’s all I’ve ever played and always thought that was the standard length

[@DingDongDaddyFromDumas]

@@paulallyngoff7472 It’s completely different… (way better if you’re a metal player though) But yeah every single thing about it will feel different

[@smashingtheadam]

I really like this demo track. The minor ambient sounds were really good. Probably one of my favorites that I've heard on your channel.

[@xXEmbracetheMetalXx]

Sounds fantastic and that paint job is awesome! Thanks Hunter!

[@AndyDuckala]

This review has the best riffs you've written so far. bloody good job from Australia

[@MrSB895]

Those heavy riffs are amazing man! and so are the clean riffs too. Good job man!! keep it up

[@Gitfiddle]

Those picking are extremely tight sounding. Very crisp and punchy. Very nice

[@retrocny5625]

Mark is more of a rhythm player than a lead player, but he just likes that flat radius I guess. It just fits his style and his ability to play those awesome chord shapes he uses. I personally have always loved the feel of compound radius fretboards, something like a 12" to 16" or something along those lines. Jackson does that a lot and I own quite a few Jacksons, and they always play like butter. Not sure how a 20" radius would feel to me because I don't think I've tried one. This guitar has been on my radar for awhile though, I just haven't tried one yet.

[@EMCZIX]

Hey it's the H&K Grandmeister Deluxe 40 demo song! :D Reminds me of the time when I found your channel and it had only around 800 subs. Watched every demo ever since. Great to see your channel grow! Keep up the awesome work!

[@agufish]

+EMCZIX lol thanks for sticking around so long! You're an OG viewer. Part of the #OGusquad? :P

I know its not your cup of tea but i appreciate the demo man!!:D shows you care! That was cool of you agu! And your songs are getting so good!!

[@Comoguitargeek]

The song at the beginning was 🔥🔥🔥

[@PadraigBoggis]

I love that shade of blue.

[@matthewmedina1802]

Traded in a couple of my basses to get this bad boy and I am not disappointed one bit🤘🤘

[@gamerlegacy]

I love mine, its my main guitar. I probably will get a graphtech nut an some locking tuners though.

[@btburke17]

PRS tuners are solid for what they are. I had an SE 24 that stayed in tune quite well. And you can just add locking tuners if desired. I am getting one of these. Love the low end

[@voltaspeeder17]

I very much like and appreciate the honest and straightforward review. Subbed!

[@theutgardianchannel1952]

the riff is as sick as you, or probably more lmao

[@Merkaba954]

Man KZbin commercials have been crazy lately. By 11 minutes in to this video KZbin has literally shoved 8 commercials down my throat. Good video anyway though man thanks!

[@lilly6986]

I have the SE MH PRS . I find it to be comfortable to play I guess because it's the guitar I have always played . Nice demonstration! ⚡

[@Randangobobango]

I played this guitar today and holy fucking shit does it sound great in person

[@xXEmbracetheMetalXx]

YESSSSSSSSSS He did it! Look everyone, he actually did it!!! : P

[@americanhorseman]

Thank you for a very good and fair coverage on this guitar...I love the way it looks and was really getting ready to pull the trigger on it...but I had my doubts...I do not play metal...I play rock or blues...But the guitar looks so great I figured I could make it work...I read all the reviews I could find...and I thought the flatter radius would be fine since I play accoustic also...But I read a couple reviews that said this was a metal guitar only so I went to look for videos ...Yours was the first one I found...I know u from Phil Mcknights channel...Well your video was awesome...You said it all so well...The guitar is awesome to look at.....But when u said u struggled playing it u made a believer out of me and i thank u for that...I will be getting the Fender Player hsh instead! Thanks Agu Fish...Food job!

[@Abzuooo]

Donny Lovette dude I own this guitar and I use it for metal, but I also use it for Jazz and even some REALLY clean John Mayer type stuff and it works great. You just need to adjust the knobs on the guitar a bit.

[@Rockerrobin]

Wish it was a single cut love the colour of these guitars and pickup choices

[@MickDavies]

Head banging watching a review, this is sick. Some many positive reviews of this guitar.

[@DoritosDoriDori]

Will be nice to see you trying Lee malia Epiphone !

[@agufish]

Lol, I haven't tried one, but there must be something wrong with them. They just don't sell!

[@thebear1441]

General Harambe same!!! that would be an awesome demo

[@dawson3203]

Gotta try his RD too man. It's such a classy guitar that perfectly nails that signature specs, but not just that artists guitar feel that you get from some of Hetfields stuff.

[@bigboi3272]

I've got one of these boiz at home and am loving it

[@AkiraSpectrum]

Awesome review, hopefully this will push your sub count up! I NEED to play one of these.

[@3xcho]

The riffs you play remind me of SoundGarden, amazing man.

[@dainiusvysniauskas2049]

This guitar with Will Adler pickups would be the ultimate love machine O_O

[@TheLukster100]

Definitely the best demo song!!! A "classic" if you will 😉👍

[@agufish]

Haha, I love it and it was due for a mix upgrade!

[@thebluntandonly]

when talking tuners, I have had 31 guitars and putting new ones in isn't bad at all. I have bought some really cool ones in fact that have changed the entire style of a guitar, that and tone knobs, cheap upgrades ;) and for cosmetics. One of the first things I do usually if it's atleast 1600 or more in price, treat em fancy a little

[@8000ismymiddlename]

“As you can probably tell from my voice” sounds exactly the same

[@6stringstrum]

AWESOME GUITAR. Got one.

[@MrRyumin]

Your review is a lot of help.

[@chris_andros]

Great video as per usual. I tried one of these in the store today. Frets where alright; I’ve felt better fret jobs on some Ibanez premiums. Neck feels very comparable to an Ibanez prestige neck. My biggest gripe is it took only 2 minutes to make it go out of tune. It does not take heavy bends well. Very comfortable to play, but nut and tuners need to be changed.

[@MikaTarkela]

Sick tone! Great demo :)

[@ibexthadevil3533]

Nice guitar..I have one at my store..one of the best Prs se models ever...great job bro

The reason I got this guitar awesome review

[@akumakami9727]

Hope you get to feeling together bro! I'm under the same, anxiety and depression health problems got me all messed up, but pushing through \m/. Great video as always :) though it is a shame it doesn't come with lock in tuners. My EC-1000 came with lock in tuners and it was the same price.

[@TDOVmusic]

Sick demo!!!

[@connorrussell5025]

Amazing playing!

[@XMetalChefX]

Also, I think the bridge is ok if you come from a floyd/trem world like me in metal. It's a big difference from a TOM and I prefer flat boards. I LOVED THIS REVIEW.

[@Iron883Man]

I'm a dedicated double cut type player. I feel the same about Les Pauls as you do about this one. If you want a very good budget strat type guitar for metal that isn't a signature or doesn't slightly refference the 80's gimmick (Floyd, solid finishes - often very bright colored- and pointy headstocks) than PRS SE and Schecter guitars are pretty much the only way to go these days. Not that that's a bad thing, but neither is having more choice :p

[@M3RRIH3W13]

The single coil neck pick up tone was very Rickenbaker jangly. I thought the Duncans were pretty versatile; it wasn't a "dirty" clean that I was expecting. A long scale with a shedder neck makes for a unique tone. I like it, it isn't a copy of everyone elses guitar.

[@boogerrs1031]

hi Hunter! I've had the chance to try out the guitar and I was worried that i would find myself not liking the fretboard radius and the bridge, but in all honesty i've actually enjoyed it a lot(though a 25,5 inches scale is something very weird for me cause just like you i'm a les paul player). so if one day, which I hope comes soon, I'm going to buy that, it will be basically thanks to you cause through this review you showed us that this is a very nice piece of gear, and tryin' it out confirmed it. so thanks a lot man! #AGUSQUAD #AGUNATION

[@masonmead9434]

Get this man to 100k

[@oscar.leon003]

The 20" radius is not that bad. Idk why people complain so much about. I have tiny hands and can play bar chords and rhythm playing with no trouble. The only difference i notice, is that is way easier to bend strings!

[@creeperkilla83]

enjoying your video bro, really liking this content here, hope you get better. also I do like prs, is a great brand, the zach myers prs se is great

[@jonathananthony1901]

This is a nice guitar. I played one at Sweetwater a while back. But I have to say...... of ALL the overseas production guitars I have owned and played nothing comes close to the Schecter C-1 Classic. I would love to see you do a video on that! It's just about the only overseas made guitar that comes with top of the line everything. Nothing to upgrade out of the box.

[@DeathShark00]

really? idk if it's the same.. but last week I bought a schecter c1 platnium. and it's the shittiest sounding guitar I've ever owned. had it set up as well. it is the c1 "research" platnium. not sure if that matters. idk maybe I just can't get the active pickups to play right. hell my 6 string agile with 7 string pick ups sounds better lol

[@jonathananthony1901]

tom balmer . no honestly none of the other guitarist in the C1 line come even close to the C1 classic. I've tried the C1 Elite, the C1 Platinum, the C1 Plus, the C1 custom. they all feel cheap and lack in so many ways compared to the C1 classic. the C1 classic is the only one that comes standard with neck through body, locking tuners, and genuine real USA Seymour Duncan pickups.

[@defaultusername4410]

Yeah, I tend to agree and I'm no Schecter fanboy or anything either. I have one and honestly it's still my nicest playing guitar after all these years of owning it and adding other (albeit still foreign made) guitars to my collection. So I have the Schecter, I've brought in one of the higher end Ibanez Iron Labels, and a high end MIM Strat, and neither of them feel as nice in build quality to the Schecter. All of them are in the same $800-1000 price range, but both of those other two have this sort of feeling of cheapness compared to the Schecter, it's weird. I'm even kind of over the Schecter at this point too, as I've owned it for a while, the looks are starting to seem tacky and dated, and I'm just a tad bored with it, but I still always wind up picking it back up as my main guitar for jamming just cause it feels the nicest to play.

[@cianbaradas6307]

Dammit now i have to choose between this and the zach myers signature SE

[@Zaronion]

Now get a Jake Bowen as well and then make a song with all three guitars, preferably something djenty. I can't give you anything for that, as I've already subbed and like basically every video, but... my neverlost admiration, I guess? :D Great video as always.

[@agufish]

We're about 75% to completing my first Patreon funding goal, and when we hit it, a Jake Bowen demo is defo going up :)

[@Zaronion]

Oh you got Patreon? Guess I can do something for that then :D

[@agufish]

Yeah man :) It's just an optional thing for people who want to directly support the content. In return they get extra stuff, right now I'm offering song downloads of all the demo tracks as the reward! Maybe I'll add tabs or something later down the line.

[@900pokeman]

That demo was fucking tasty

[@Neuguy69]

I cannot wait until I practice enough to play like I hear in my head.

[@sifutenzsako2701]

i like the guitar but i really like your song in the beginning. those heavy riffs are just nasty. i need those tabs!

I traded my ebmm jp6 for one of these and a Sterling jp150. Totally came out on top.

[@nathanmgkelley]

Mick Delgado is the fret board comfy to play on?

[@sawtoothscream1521]

Received mine on sat. Amazing guitar, my only issue is I hate where the selector is for the pickups. Makes it really hard to switch to the neck pickup if I want it for lead work. Minus that it has the best neck i have ever felt and the pickups sound killer. Worth every penny

[@jamespartridge7323]

On mine as well. Hate that I have to reach around the Whammy Bar to change positions. Other than that I love my PRS-SE Fireburst with Floyd Rose.

[@Saint9101]

YES YOU DID IT!

[@cbenitez2008]

awesome song! reminded me of soilwork

[@randysnewbiebluesrockguita7782]

I just bought this guitar from American musical supply and I will get it tomorrow. I heard that the nut sucks ass, so I am going to have it replaced right away with a better one along with locking tuner's. The only problem with locking tuner's on a PRS is that it is hard to find any that actually fit the guitar so you don't have to drill new holes. I put them on my other SE 24' and I couldn't buy the actual PRS locking tuner's, so I got Grover's and had to drill to make them fit although the holes are almost unnoticeable. This guitar being a non trem. there really isn't a dire need for a locking system, unless you are looking to change string's faster. I am not normaly a metal guitarist but I do play a lot of heavy blues in the black Sabbath style so the S.Dunkin's will really push it over the top. I can't wait to get it, it's like x-mas eve over here waiting for the UPS guy to come. LOL My roomie and I are both guitarist's and we both have G.G.A.S and he is gonna shit when I come in with this guitar and put him back to number 2. I just got a Roland GR55 also and he is now going to have a lot of catching up to do. lol

[@scottanderson4175]

Can you tell us anything about the scale length was there a huge difference in feel between the Holcomb and the SE 24 ???

[@weirdoguy6800]

really nice song !

[@dawngteahnamte7971]

I agree with your comments about the playability. I’ve played thrice at the store, it sounds great but i was not at all comfortable with this guitar.. although i like almost everything about it

[@bwgti]

I have only watched a few other of your videos. (youtube started suggesting them yesterday). Keep doing the single guitar stuff with no backing instruments. Its absence was my only complaint about the others I watched. Thanks for breaking down the amp settings too. Should we know what speaker settings (impulses?) you are using with the Two Notes? Are they always the same.? I am sure it is more convenient than micing a raging 6505 or Rectifier in that little room. And how do you feel about the sound vs. the standard SM57 setup? And thank you for taking your time to make the videos sir!

[@agufish]

Hey welcome to the channel! I think I've only mentioned it in comments before but I'm using a custom impulse a previous owner left on here of a Mesa Recto 4x12 cabinet mic'd with an SM57. I feel like that mic/cab setup with either a 6505 or Dual Rectifier is pretty standard for a lot of other users. As far as sound goes, it's pretty similar (mayyybe slightly boxier and with a little more low-end) than my real Recto 2x12 with an SM57.

[@tavicotavio]

I dont care much for Perypheri but goddamn Mark Hoccomb is pretty damn cute aint gonna lie

[@BandlessGuy]

I want that wood slab so damn much it hurts...

[@natredvondiskust7243]

sharp lookin fiddle..im not much of a prs guy..visually,i wish i was..cuz the tonality is great n fit n finish..im interested in checking out the new hamer line...any chance?? the usa hamer line is incredible and the new 17 korea line looks very nice..however they are NEVER stocked to play before buying..id love to see a review on the standard expl..type or the carve top double cutaway...great stuff..oh and dave mustaine or hetfield ?? chops licks overall preferance??

[@romaliwhispers]

The cleans reminded me of Wes borland

[@boogerrs1031]

man i wish i could try that guitar cuz it seems like a very reliable piece of gear, but that 20 inches fretboard radius is scary man!!! just like you i like les paul fretboard radius cause that's what i'm used to, but before buyin' such a thing i'd rather try it out. very helpful video this one to me. and yup you made #AGUNATION proud of you y makin' this video!!

[@xXjuangarciaXx]

Booger RS for a bit less money you can get a damn good PRS SE standard range or custom range (custom 24, custom 22, single cut, standard 24, etc). The customs retail for about 760, so if you have the money for a Holcomb, you can stick a good set of Seymour Duncan's and maybe a set of locking tuners in there as well. Usually the singlecuts come with a wraparound stop tail that's rock solid if the trem isn't your style (I have both, I'm usually a hard tail guy, but my SE cust 24 trem is rock solid and not cumbersome at all)

[@boogerrs1031]

that ain't a bad idea at all!!! though I still need to make up my mind if to get a chapman guitar from the pro range cause i really like the way that company grew and I love some of the models from their new line, or a prs. though thanks a lot for the suggestion!!!

[@DeathShark00]

+Booger RS I tried it at GC for about 30 mins a week ago. the radius isn't a problem at all. don't even notice it after like 2 minutes.. and I got small hands.. makes chords much easier

[@marko_makinen]

Radius isn't the biggest thing in this guitar to adjust at all IMO, it is the bridge, as Agufish mentioned in the video. I own a SE Custom 7-string before I got my Holcomb SE, and the major difficulty while initally adjusting to it was the bridge. Both are hardtail, both seem same kind of build on the outside, but Holcomb has some subtle differences to the feel to accomodate Mark's preferences. At first I had really hard time as Agufish had, because before falling in love with PRS's I was exclusively playing TOM bridges of ESP Explorers. I basically went to deep end and took the guitar after four days of having it to the gig, and now after a dozen rehearsals and four gigs I couldn't be happier.

Marko Mäkinen do you still have the guitar??

[@skobedigatch207]

i bought this guitar a couple of months ago, love it! but i am not a big fan of mark holocomb.. everytime i pick it up it feels like i am playing his guitar... i am thinking about modding it, any suggestions -

[@agufish]

+skobedigatch Fishman pickups lol

[@skobedigatch207]

nah

[@agufish]

aw :(

[@DeathShark00]

get new inlays. if I get it, I'm immediately getting those dumb ass birds removed for offset dots

[@iamjoemadden]

+agufish question 4 u.. any downside to a complete novice buying this PRS SE Mark Holcomb as a first guitar? I was gonna snag it, a couple pedals and one of those 60 watt Orange combo Amps u reviewed not long ago. Pulling the trigger soon. Any thoughts? I love your channel and hope I'm making the right decision. I am a complete novice

[@x7stringinJSCx]

i want to play one of these.. that 20" radius is flatter than an Ibanez Prestige model. That has to be like credit card flat. I just subscribed.. eventho i thought i already did a long time ago. Great video and demo.

[@may_12521]

x7stringinJSCx wait srsly it is flatter than a Prestige?

[@x7stringinJSCx]

Kong Yuen May Yea man.. Prestige radius is 430mm which is 16.9" and this is 20" which is 508mm. And any standard RG for example is 400mm which is a 15.75" radius.. so it should be super flat and awesome.

[@may_12521]

x7stringinJSCx damn it must be extremely flat until I am not comfortable with it, since I am also an ibanez user

[@x7stringinJSCx]

Kong Yuen May Haha. I've been an Ibanez fan my whole life and I'm really thinking of buying this. Plus it looks really good. I'm very curious on how flat it really is.

[@Babs42]

I own one and the Ibanez necks might have a fatter radius but this guitar's neck is not as thin as an Ibanez neck.

[@danicaraballo]

addictive guitar to play and much better sound and construction than many USD 1000+

[@brianburke808]

No offense to Mark, but lemme know when PRS makes an SE Nolly sig :D. Thanks for the demo!

[@Patryks2000s]

Your voice is so much deeper when you're ill! I guess that your voice just got sicker ;)

[@agufish]

Buh dum tisssss :D

[@markamerica2580]

Always love your demos and riffing! Curious to know if you apply theory to everything you play and write?

[@agufish]

wtf is theory...? lol

[@markamerica2580]

Good answer!
