PRS Mark Holcomb Gray Black

PRS Mark Holcomb Gray Black: Technical Review

The PRS Mark Holcomb Gray Black is a U.S.-made signature electric guitar associated with Mark Holcomb of Periphery. Its specifications combine a mahogany body, mango top, maple set neck, ebony fingerboard, and a two-humbucker pickup arrangement. The instrument has a double-cut body shape, 24 frets, and a 648 mm (25.5-inch) scale. A PRS case is included.

The supplied listed price is 5666, but no currency is specified in the product information. The model has been available since November 2025. No customer reviews are available, so this assessment is limited to the stated construction and hardware. It does not make claims about playing feel, sound quality, setup, or reliability that cannot be verified from those specifications.

Construction and Neck Specifications

The body is mahogany, topped with mango. These are the listed tonewood choices, though the specifications do not describe the top's thickness, figuring, finish process, or how the woods affect the sound of this particular guitar. Its color is identified as Gray Black in the model name and specification details, while the general color field also says Black. The hardware is black.

The maple neck is set into the body. Its profile is named Mark Holcomb, rather than being identified by a familiar general profile designation. The available information does not provide neck depth measurements, so the profile name alone is not enough to establish how it will feel in the hand. The ebony fingerboard has bird inlays, a 508 mm (20-inch) radius, and 24 frets.

The nut width is 42.9 mm (1.69 inches), and the scale length is 648 mm (25.5 inches). These measurements provide useful reference points when comparing the guitar with other instruments or checking compatibility with a player's preferences. The specifications do not state fret size, nut material, string gauge, or factory action.

Pickups and Switching

The pickup set consists of two Seymour Duncan Mark Holcomb signature humbuckers: a Scourge model in the bridge position and a Scarlet model in the neck position. The control layout has one volume control, one tone control, and a five-way switch. That confirms the available control hardware, but the supplied details do not describe the exact pickup combinations assigned to each switch position. Buyers should consult the manufacturer or retailer for a wiring diagram if those positions are a deciding factor.

The use of two humbuckers and a five-way switch is a notable part of the instrument's specification. It gives the guitar a switching system with more positions than a basic three-way arrangement, but the product data alone cannot establish how each setting sounds or how much tonal contrast it provides. No coil-splitting or coil-tapping function is explicitly listed, so neither should be assumed from the five-way switch.

Bridge, Hardware, and Included Case

A PRS plate-style bridge is specified, and the guitar has no tremolo. This distinguishes its listed bridge setup from a tremolo-equipped configuration. The machine heads are designed by PRS, and the hardware is black. The supplied details do not identify the bridge's adjustment range, the tuner model, or locking features.

A PRS case is included. The product information separately states that a gig bag is not included, which is consistent with the case being the listed carrying option. For buyers comparing package contents, the case is a confirmed inclusion rather than an optional accessory. The sales unit is one piece.

What the Specifications Establish

This model's documented features are clear: U.S. Manufacture, a mahogany body with a mango top, a maple set neck, an ebony fingerboard, 24 frets, a 25.5-inch scale, and the two named signature humbuckers. It also has a single volume and tone control, a five-way switch, a fixed PRS plate-style bridge, and an included PRS case.

Important evaluation details remain unavailable. The provided specifications do not give the guitar's weight, finish type, neck measurements beyond the profile name, fret dimensions, wiring map, or setup condition. There are also no customer reports to draw on. Those gaps matter when judging comfort and performance, so a buyer should verify them with PRS or the seller and, where possible, inspect the instrument before purchase.

On specifications alone, the PRS Mark Holcomb Gray Black is a distinctly configured signature model with named pickups, a five-way switching system, and a fixed bridge. Its material and hardware details support a meaningful comparison with other guitars, while the lack of firsthand or customer feedback leaves feel and sound quality unconfirmed.
