The SE Mark Holcomb SVN | PRS Guitars

The SE Mark Holcomb SVN delivers addictive playability thanks to some unique specifications, including a 24-fret, 26.5” scale length, wide thin satin maple neck with 20” radius ebony fretboard - not to mention seven strings. Holcomb’s signature Seymour Duncan Scarlet & Scourge 7-string pickups provide the right amount of output and articulation whether you’re playing sophisticated chords or solos and whether you’re playing alone or working in the mix of a band. Other specifications include a quilted maple veneer, black hardware, and a 3-way blade pickup switch with a push/pull tone knob for coil splitting. The model is topped off with a string-through, plate-style, 7-string bridge.
“My SE SVN has become the perfect counterpart to my SE six-string, and an absolute mainstay in Periphery’s live rig. It’s designed to be aggressive, but its core features allow it to be diverse enough to handle clean and mid-gain tones just as effectively. If you’ve played my SE six, you’ll find that this builds off what we established with that guitar and more.”

I've been eyeing one of the Holcomb 7s for years. With the blue, new pickups, and starting a new job next month. This is going on my list.

[@christo2690]

im debating buying one after a promotion. did you get one? was it worth it? is the neck mega nice ?

[@RaspySquares]

Some of the nicest SE tops I've seen are on these SVNs.

[@oscar.leon003]

Out of the 3 periphery players, this is the best sig to get. Misha’ sand Jake’s sigs are a completely QC disaster. Thanks Mark for keeping fans and guitarists player’s in mind when developing these guitars rather than sales and money.

[@Scarce2099]

Jmb10fx is ton better than the prs

[@chuckh9168]

The JBM9999 is the finest instrument I have ever had in my hands, and my USA Jackson Misha HT7 is a close second. You’re full of it.

[@kevindavid37]

Still no locking tuners is a shame. I‘d be willing to pay a little more and not have to install them myself. Absolute key feature for me. Awesome guitar anyways!

[@johndargoczi]

this is kind of the only thing that's keeping me from buying it. I have them on my JBM10FX and they are such a game-changer, I don't really understand why the SVN doesn't have them. Maybe it's worth it just getting it and swapping the tuners to locking ones? I don't know. Big dilemma

[@josuastangl7140]

I know, they‘re not even that much more expensive. I doubt the guitar would be $50 more with those instead

[@papaidolatrine2499]

It is so easy to swap to locking tuners you guys just sound lazy lol

[@josuastangl7140]

@@papaidolatrine2499 it is and I'd do it, but not installing them in the factory is even more lazy, when they get them cheaper than when we go aftermarket

[@Taquitos95]

This is one of the reasons I went with a different guitar that cost far more, no locking tuners and the cheap nut. I knew I could swap the stuff if I really wanted, but I just didn't want to have to do that.

[@yeserguitar]

I'm in love again, omg!!! Need the new one as well!!!!

[@Levelity]

Alrighty, blueburst I'm sold. Was waiting for the satin Walnut to come back in stock but the blue burst is perfect.

[@thomasche]

[@travislee9662]

I’m eager to see how these new pickups are, glad to hear the neck pickup is supposed to be more traditional warmer sounding. I have the earlier versions in 6 and 7 and love the aggression and clarity of the bridge pickups but them trying for more clarity in the neck pickups they just seemed a little too trebly and harsh. That was my only knock on his guitars…well and that they need locking tuners lol

[@travislee9662]

@@icanseewhatyouseenot thanks for the info. I like the split coil sounds too. I was just missing that fatter warmer neck PU sound in the Alpha/Omega’s.

[@劉仲齊]

So the clean tone sounds warmer in previous alpha/omega pickups? How does the Scarlet/scourge sound? I was struggling finding modern sounding pickups which can sound also warm when playing clean tones…

[@travislee9662]

@@劉仲齊 No these new Scourge/Scarlet are supposed to be more traditionally voiced and warmer. What I didn’t like about the Alpha/Omega is the neck PU sounded a little trebly and harsh. The bridge PU in that set is great. I might keep that in and just try to get a Scarlet PU for the neck lol

[@HiThereFaceHere]

Welp that's gonna be my new 7. Glad I heald out

This is probably the only signature guitar I’d ever buy. Maybe the Adam jones les Paul but marks svn suits what I play and how I play a lot more.

For the money not doing locking tuners and a better nut should be absolutely essential. It’s kinda bad when we can’t even get that stock on these guitars.

This guitar is wonderful. I would buy it if it has a whammy bar ^^

[@shawns9316]

"Everything on this guitar is exactly what I would have it be on paper", except for a quality nut and locking tuners. PRS seems to keep forgetting to update those two essential pieces for the masses over the past 6-ish years.

[@dougcronkhite2113]

Mark's touring guitars all have locking tuners and a different nut. PRS has known about the crappy plastic nut since day 1.

[@IcarusNadir]

Only thing keeping me from buying it is the fact that there are no locking tuners on it. Even my relatively cheap Sterling by MM JP50 came with locking tuners and it's cheaper than this guitar.

[@ThatBaritoneGuitarGuy]

To be completely honest, the binding on ONLY the neck is why I have never bought a Holcomb. Binding is an all-or-nothing affair. Either THE ENTIRE guitar has binding, or you don't use binding AT ALL. For me to buy a Holcomb, the binding needs to go away. The original SVN does not have any binding, which is why I have stuck with it.

[@tomasrus4476]

Is he just a good sales man or is he really enjoying The guitar….. tell me😂

[@Surmoka]

Why is a 26.5" scale length the absolute minimum?

[@travislee9662]

It’s to accommodate their low tunings and have the right string tension. Their "standard” tuning on a 6 string is dropped D down to C. That’s their highest tuning, they only go lower from there lol

[@josuastangl7140]

A longer scale length on the low string sounds much better and clearer. The opposite is true for the high strings.

[@frankgarcia3310]

If only was direct mounted pickups

[@NoahCharAznableLinkLiamHathawa]

[@LDN76]

So you can make a signature PRS, and you didnt make one without these ugly birds? Thats a shame 😀

[@Kideem]

I think the birds make it look even better. I suppose that’s just my opinion though

[@PigglyWigglyDeluxe]

Pickups hardly do anything for tone.

[@Relentless_lel]

youre free to believe that. Until youve tuned down to G and play a 7 string chord with a high gain setting :)
