The Seymour Duncan Mark Holcomb Alpha & Omega 8-String Set brings Marks versatile tonal palette to 8-stirng guitars designed to accommodate the extended sonic range while still delivering an incredible array of tonal possibilities and sonic destruction. These pickups were originally designed to suit the precise and versatile guitar work of the Grammy-nominated band Periphery who are known for their powerful guitar work and as one of the pioneers of the djent movement. The Alpha neck pickup was created to feature the best qualities of both neck and bridge pickups offering the classic fat glassy tone but with enough pick attack and fretting-hand phasing for lead type playing. The Omega bridge pickup is designed with plenty of aggression while still offering a clear bright character to cut through mixes.
Designed for Precision & Versatility The signature Alpha and Omega pickups are designed after the custom shop set Mark Holcomb created to accommodate the precise and versatile playing style required for the Grammy-nominated band Periphery. The Omega pickup offers the perfect level of percussive destruction and growl to dominate the mids and lows offering a very aggressive sound with plenty of clarity and brightness to cut through the mix and ensure your sophisticated solos complex single-note lines or intense solos can be heard. The Alpha pickup offers a different feel and tone to traditional neck pickups combining the best qualities of neck and bridge pickups to deliver a fat glassy sound with plenty of pick attack and fretting-hand phrasing perfect for progressive metal and djent. About Mark Holcomb Mark Holcomb is a guitarist from the Grammy-nominated band Periphery who are considered one of the pioneers of the Djent movement in progressive metal. Lending his guitar work to Periphery and Haunted Shores few guitarists are as advanced as Mark resulting in his own set of signature pickups designed to accommodate the incredible precision and versatile playing styles required for both bands. Their open humbucker design features a high output which complements the heavy distorted tones of Djent and works well standing alone or working in a dense mix. The Alpha/Omega set has been the heartbeat of my sound for the past several years. Since we developed and released the first 6-string set in the custom shop I’ve had the same pickup set in every one of my 6 7 and 8-string guitars live and in the studio. It has remained one of the few components of my rig and setup that I haven’t even thought about tweaking. – Mark Holcomb Specifications DCR: Neck: 10.97 Bridge: 18.27 Magnet: Ceramic Cable: 4C Shielded Dimensions Length: 4.188 Height: 1.384 Depth: 0.772
