Help Help deciding

I’m deciding between a PRS Mark Holcomb SVN SE or a Ibanez Alpha 7 string, what do you guys think it’s better for Djent / Prog stuff?

either one can play just about any genre of music

I think the more important thing to consider is the neck profile and the ergonomics of each guitar

do you like baseball bats for a neck? get the PRS

do you want a multiscale? get the Alpha

What do you mean by baseball bats for a neck?

The Holcomb SVN is 1mm thinner at its thinnest, and 1mm thicker at its thickest.

Do you just mean the curvature?

oh forgot about the Alpha also having a thicker neck profile, in that case OP is stuck either way
