Figured I would post once my honeymoon phase is over and the time is just right. I have been rocking out my Holcomb for quite some time now and have been comparing it with my other favourite models including PRS DGT, PRS Singlecut and Fender Jim Root Strat. They all have mahogany bodies (Root...

What string gauge is everyone using on their Holcomb? Currently I am using the stock gauge (new set of DD 10-52) but I am really tempted to fit it with my all time fav set of DD 11-56. 10-52 is too flubby as I tend to really dig in,

you know you want ittttt :) Blues purists would cringe (ceramic pickups, flat radius, etc etc) but I say this is a phenomenal guitar that is very versatile if you want it to be. I sense a lot of folks will sell their Holcombs because they are after fancier guitars with fancier specs but this...

can't wait to hear your review VHTStark!

awesome! finally!!!!

the neck profile is thicker than my lespaul with 60s profile and thinner than my Jim Root strat. The fretboard radius is 20" so it feels flatter. Very easy to play especially when you bend strings.

I agree with what Shauncho said. I might liquidate some of my guitars and invest in studio gears instead (or buy another Holcomb while I can). 20" radius is definitely in. I started using GHS fast fret and yes the guitar is unstoppable. Bending and vibrato is much easier without...

The guitar is amazing. I wish the guitar's price range was lower AND not a limited run but it is what it is. The neck is one of my favorite profiles along with Jim root Strat. I keep starring at the top and realize how gorgeous it is. I have tried playing through all of my amps (Mesa...

Yes it is very simple (order-wait-receive) but from my experience the whole network communication is very inaccurate and inefficient. Usually the dealer's quote for the final delivery date is never guaranteed or it is often missed by the manufacturer. Maybe PRS would communicate more often if...

Mind you I have ordered mine right after it was announced and still waited for a quite long time even going beyond my dealer's "estimated" arrival date. I had to send an email to PRS only to find out that the model is super popular and they had some delay getting their quilt tops for Holcomb...

I use 10s on my DGT simply because I am so used to 10s. Plus I usually buy a bulk pack of 10s; no need to get single 11s!

I believe the tone pot is always bypassed when the knob is down (ie. not pulled up) and you can activate it when you pull the knob up. From my understanding the tone pot will only work when the knob is pulled up which nice for players like me because I do really love using tone knob for only...

Respect Shauncho! Thanks for sharing your results with us. I know I won't be even close to being able to go all out as much as you did with DAW and wave form heights haha. Mark V is indeed an awesome amp. I am thinking about getting myself a Mark V25 again; bought it but had to return it due...

Motha intenseeee Software QA=No room for errorrzz. Troubleshooting superhero by daytime, rockstar by night I see. The thing is Holcomb sounds so different with different amps but I was specially surprised that it sounds quite tight via Mesa Roadster without an OD.. no guitars I have sounds...

For me it is more like "if (I have no clue as to what I am about to mess it up or) it ain't broke, I ain't gonna fix (or touch) it" haha I like how you paid so much attention to details to the promo shot. I did change my pick to a sharper tortex one and I love it. One day I might replace frets...
