Finally completed all the appropriate modifications to my Holcomb SE. First I switched out the tuners to Schaller M6 locking tuners, which were pretty much a direct fit. I then swapped out the nut for a Graph Tech Tusq, which I had a professionally installed and set up, this resolved all tuning issues I previously had. Then I put on Hipshot o-ring knobs (the same ones Mark has), an official PRS pickup selector (same as the core models), and of course black strap locks by Dunlop. Set up for Cleartone Heavy Series 10-52 gauge strings. Absolutely in love with this guitar now. Pickups are flawless, from sparkly bell like cleans to the snarly bite that Holcomb is known for. Push/pull coil split is incredibly useful. If you’re on the fence, buy it and I promise you won’t regret it. Most of the mods are to my taste, but I believe changing the nut and tuners are a must. The nut it came with is quite cheap, and doesn't allow for the guitar's natural harmonics to come through, but they had to cut costs somehow to get it in an $899 price point. All that’s left is swapping the tuner buttons to an ebony buttons and it’ll be completed. Feel free to ask any questions! :D

As far as the amp it's being played through, I have an EVH 5150 III 50 watt head, and a Mesa vertical 2x12. Perfect combo in my opinion, with this guitar and amp I get an almost exact replica of Mark's tone. Will post clips soon!

Very nice. Gonna do the nut on mine - which model nut did you use? Is got that extra flat radius...

Another mod I'd consider on mine is the volume pot. It's super high resistance to turn.

I actually bought a black Graph Tech Tusq 43x6 nut, someone suggested it on another forum and it worked out great. The original nut just deadened my tone and sent my strings out of tune way too often. I gave it to my local guitar tech to handle and it came out flawless. I actually prefer it over the PRS nut that my s2 has.

But as far as a volume pot, that’s not a bad idea! One day I plan on getting into the electronics but have to wait for more funds.

I’m trying to determine if the volume has too much resistance or the tone has too little? Either way, the pots feel a little cheap, along with the switch, which OP changed out. I think I would replace the pots and switch altogether, personally. But the nut and tuners are number one priority. Soon, I hope!

Is this the exact set of tuners you got?

http://www.upcitemdb.com/upc/4036641063131

And did you have to drill at all? I read a comment where the user said the screws which came with the tuners were a little wider and required some finish removal? Could you just re-use the stock screws?

Also, your pics don't show up for me :(
 
I did almost exactly the same upgrades except I used Grover locking tuners because they were readily available, I also ordered a black bridge so all the hardware would just be straight up black instead of that like "Cosmo black" that the finish was wearing off of.
