Is the price shown inclusive of VAT?

Yes. Every price on Northgate Music Co. includes UK VAT at 20%, and a full VAT invoice is emailed with your dispatch confirmation. There are no import duties or handling fees on UK orders.

Will it need a set-up when it arrives?

No. Our workshop completes a full set-up before dispatch — truss rod, action, intonation and fresh strings — and includes the measurements in the box. UK humidity changes may call for a small seasonal tweak later on.

What happens if I don't get on with it?

You have 30 days from delivery to return it for a full refund. We email you a free UK return label, and refunds are processed to your original payment method within 5 working days of the item arriving back with us.

What warranty cover is included?

Two years parts and labour against manufacturing defects, on top of your statutory rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. Consumables such as strings, reeds, heads and batteries are covered for 90 days.

Redesigned Seymour Duncan Pickups The SE Mark Holcomb SVN introduces a pair of all-new Seymour Duncan pickups: the signature Scarlet and Scourge humbuckers. Painstakingly designed to excel with modeling amplifiers, these pickups offer incredible note-to-note clarity, articulate highs, and tight lows. The slightly lower output enhances the guitar's ability to cut through a full band mix, making it perfect for guitarists who dive into down-tuned depths while maintaining precise definition during solos and high-register progressive melodic passages.

The SE Mark Holcomb SVN delivers on those requirements, providing a high-quality instrument that captures Mark's unique playing style. Now, this signature guitar is accessible to a wider audience, allowing players to achieve the same level of excellence in their performances.

Unrestricted Playability Crafted for effortless playability, the SE Mark Holcomb SVN features a maple neck with a sleek ebony fingerboard. The 20-inch fretboard radius facilitates wide bends and nimble string-to-string playing, while the renowned PRS Wide Thin neck carve offers a comfortable yet fast-playing experience. With this guitar, you can freely explore the entire fretboard and execute even the most demanding techniques with ease.

Exquisite Craftsmanship Not only does the SE Mark Holcomb SVN deliver exceptional tonal capabilities, but it also boasts stunning aesthetics. The mahogany body with a maple top, adorned with a captivating quilted maple veneer, offers a balanced and resonant sound. The set maple neck and 24-fret ebony fretboard provide smooth playability and a full two-octave range on every string, ensuring you have the versatility to explore new musical territories.

Unlock Tonal Versatility The PRS SE Mark Holcomb SVN is equipped with push-pull controls, allowing you to tap into articulate split-coil tones for added versatility. Whether you're seeking warm, full-bodied humbucking tones or single-coil-like clarity, this guitar offers a wide range of sonic options to suit any musical style.

Maximum Stability and Sustain The PRS Plate-style bridge ensures precise tuning stability and enhanced sustain, allowing you to dive bomb and bend with confidence. Each note will ring out with exceptional clarity and sustain, giving your playing a professional edge.
