Seymour Duncan, a leading manufacturer of pickups and pedals, announces the over-the-counter release of Periphery guitarist Mark Holcombs Alpha and Omega pickups in 6, 7 and 8-string versions.
The Alpha/Omega set has been the heartbeat of my sound for the past several years, Mark Holcomb says. Since we developed and released the first 6-string set in the custom shop, Ive 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 havent even thought about tweaking.
The Omega bridge pickup came out super cool, Holcomb continues. Its very, very aggressive and snarling, with that percussive quality that I like in the low mids. My style is based on really big chords with a lot of voicings, and I didnt want to sacrifice any of that in the bridge pickup. And the Alpha neck pickup has lots of pick attack probably the most pick attack of any neck pickup Ive ever played. But its still very fat and glassy.
The 6-string Custom Shop release of this pickup was very popular and we heard a lot from Mark and Marks fans who said they wanted extended range versions of that same pickup and the ability to buy it over the counter, says Seymour Duncan SVP of Products & CRO Max Gutnik. Were excited to make them available to more players, with more variety.
Available as a set, or individual neck or bridge pickups.
6, 7 or 8-string options.
