Rig Rundown: Periphery [2017]

Behind-the-scenes details on the three-headed guitar monster's updated signature axes (and pickups), and their unusual reliance on a blend of 20th- and 21st-century amp technology.

The third guitarist of the band, Mark Holcomb, had a 7-string, baritone predicament for the jam “Motormouth” when entering this joint tour with Animals as Leaders. Solution: An Aristides 070 model that is wrapped in an amazing sparkle-purple finish. The guitar features no wood as it’s made of arium, richlite (fretboard), and standard metal for the hardware. The pickups on this beauty are Mark’s signature Seymour Duncan Alpha & Omega set.
