On the last leg of their tour supporting their latest release, the kind members of Periphery took some time to talk with Premier Guitar about their compact, yet powerful, stage gear. The guitar slingers in the band are very serious about tone and feel, which can get challenging with the drop tunings and precision needed for their songs.

Jake Bowen’s signature model Ibanez is the JBM-100. This black-matte finished 6-string beauty sports a mahogany body, maple top, and Jake’s signature passive DiMarzio Titan pickups. Bowen also brings a 7-string version on the road as well. He wanted a guitar that could handle the “middle ground” of playing rhythm and lead.

Misha “Bulb” Mansoor’s guitars are well designed and very colorful. His No. 1 is a Jackson Custom Shop 7-string with a basswood body, quilted maple top, maple neck, and an ebony fretboard.

His Bare Knuckle Juggernaut pickups drive his aggressive style, and he carries an almost identical 6-string version.

Misha also plays an Aristides 070 constructed of Arium that also features his signature pickups.

Mark Holcomb’s main guitars are made by PRS. His new favorite is a PRS Private Stock model, featuring a 25 1/2" scale length, gorgeous flamed maple top, and DiMarzio pickups of his design.
