Mark Holcomb Alpha and Omega 6-string Signature Humbucker 2-piece Pickup Set - Black Review

Full and Hot

Firstly i'm not into "signature" or "road worn" products. I happened into these because they were "suggested" with the "Relish" "Trinity" guitar on the SW app and "Cody Priester" (3025-my sales engineer that I respect) said they were remarkably good. I could almost say that they are the best sounding pickups i have, but that would slight some really excellent sounding guitars. Full,… read more open, clear, no drop-outs, addictive, and sounds good heavy or light. Now i have to figure out who this "Mark Holcomb" is.

Still the best.

This is third set of these pickups that I've owned- not because the've had issues, but because I can't stop putting them in my guitars. Superior clarity, incredibly tight low end... just the best!

Very nice.

These pickups are great for metal. Sound good through clean channel, too. They look better than the normal SD's being completely black. Thanks to everyone at Sweetwater for getting them shipped out so fast.

Amazing

I put these in a EC-1000P, that had a JB/59 in it. I liked the 59, loathed the JB, just not for me. These are incredible in terms of the clarity! Everything rings out, which is great in my mind because now I'm noticing flaws in my playing that require fixing. They are terrific for thrash, blues when they're split, rock, and the lower tunings if that's what you're in to. I usually… read more stop at C#, so I'm not going all that low in comparison. Anyway, these are awesome, I use them with a Club 40MKII with a Creamback H in it, the lows of that speaker mixed with these pickups is amazing! Mark uses V30 and a Creamback H for his cabinets anyway, so I had a feeling it would be great. BUY THEM.

You won't be disappointed

I struggled long and hard on which PUPs to throw into my Tele Bodied ESP TE-200 that I received as a gift and Brian suggested these as I play a lot of Drop C and D tuning. First impression was "why doesn't every PUP sound like this?" They're that good even in a short-scaled body like the TE-200. I'm blown away that open chrods in C tuning sound crystal clear and barre chords/power… read more chrods sound clean yet dirty, exactly what I wanted. These are well worth the price tag. I Like them so much I'm throwing them into my EC-1000 next and likely my Epi Jotun Special LP.
