Description
Mark Holcomb didn’t need a pickup set that just sounded heavy — Periphery’s riffs demand pickups that stay articulate no matter how dense the chord voicings or how fast the picking hand moves. That’s the brief behind the Alpha & Omega set, and it shows in how each pickup handles its job.
- The Omega bridge pickup delivers punishing low-mid growl and percussive attack, but never turns to mush — chords stay defined, single-note runs stay legible, and solos cut through a busy mix instead of disappearing into it.
- The Alpha neck pickup breaks from typical neck-pickup design by blending fat, glassy warmth with the touch sensitivity and pick-attack detail usually reserved for bridge positions. You get the smoothness expected up front, but with phrasing nuance intact.
Both pickups run a ceramic magnet, measure 18.27 DCR, and use 4-conductor shielded cable for flexible wiring options. Built to spec for 8-string guitars and made in Santa Barbara, California, this set is aimed squarely at players chasing modern extended-range tones without sacrificing clarity in the low register.
