The Paul Reed Smith Mark Holcomb Signature Wraparound in Blue Burst is a stage-ready electric built for articulate, modern playing. It pairs a carved mango top with a 25.5" scale maple neck and a 20" radius ebony fingerboard, delivering a slightly longer scale for tighter low strings and a flat, fast feel across the frets. The fixed wraparound bridge promotes solid sustain and tuning stability for heavy riffing and low tunings. Controls include a master volume, master tone, and a 5-way blade switch that gives true humbucker, split-coil and mixed-voice options—position three yields both humbuckers while positions two and four provide coil-split tones for added clarity and single-coil-style chime.
Electronics are dialed for modern metal and progressive playing: Seymour Duncan Scarlet and Scourge signature pickups provide focused low-end punch, tight mids and clear high-end articulation, keeping complex voicings defined even with drop tunings. The guitar ships with satin black hardware and is offered in seven finishes, including the shown Blue Burst.
