And the Winner of the PRS Guitars Mark Holcomb Guitar Solo Contest is….

Earlier this summer we teamed up with PRS Guitars, Gear Gods and Metal Injection to launch one of our most fun contests to date: we invited guitar players (well, anyone, really) to record their own version of Mark Holcomb’s guitar solo in Periphery’s song “The Price is Wrong” using a mix of the track with the solo stripped out, with the super-sweet reward of a PRS Guitars SE Mark Holcomb to the winner.

Mark himself listened to all the entries — nearly 150 of them! — and chose his favorite! And that winner is… Sime Stampar! Here’s his version of the guitar solo:

Enjoy your new axe, Sime! And a hearty thanks to everyone who participated in this contest… we hope you all had fun with it even if you didn’t win.
