PRS SE Seven Mark Holcomb in like new condition. The PRS SE Mark Holcomb SVN with a Walnut veneer is a specialized 7-string guitar designed for progressive metal, known for its extended 26.5-inch scale length and ultra-flat 20-inch radius.
Core Specifications
Scale Length: 26.5 inches, which provides increased string tension and clarity for low tunings (typically shipped in Drop A).
Neck: Satin-finished maple neck with a "Wide Thin" profile and an ebony fretboard.
Fretboard Radius: 20 inches, an exceptionally flat radius that facilitates technical playing and wide chords.
Pickups: Older Walnut models typically featured the Seymour Duncan Alpha and Omega set, known for a "wall of sound" and aggressive output. Newer iterations of the SVN use the Seymour Duncan Scarlet and Scourge set, which offers more clarity and reduced gain.
Hardware: String-through plate-style bridge with black hardware and PRS-designed non-locking tuners.
Performance and Aesthetics
Walnut Top: The beveled maple top features a walnut veneer that provides a natural, matte "coffee" look often described by players as classier than the standard quilted maple bursts.
Versatility: Despite its metal branding, the push-pull coil split on the tone knob allows for glassy, punchy clean tones.
Tone: According to reviewers at Guitar World, the guitar sounds "gloriously open" and reacts well to picking dynamic
