"On Periphery V, my main workhorse was actually my 2023 Holcomb Blueburst model. During writing, I used an early prototype of that model and for final tracking, I used what turned out to be the actual production model. It was a fun way to test it over time actually - to kind of see how it responded to different phases of the process. Besides that, I used a couple other of my favorite guitars at home - some older core signatures models (6 & 7 string), a Trampas Green 6-string sig model, a CU24 for a couple leads, a Fiore for some writing, and actually a Silver Sky to write a lot of the main riffs for Wax Wings!" - Mark Holcomb
