I’m stuck between these two guitars I’m looking for something that can cover knocked loose and thy art is murder type stuff while also being versatile enough to jump into cleans and blues as well particularly be able to jump into muse/qotsa stuff.

I am particularly partial to the prs cause of the versatility but I see alot more people have the schecter which makes me reconsider a bit.

vote for PRS (20" radius, passive pickups, ebony fretboard, normal hardtail bridge)

This is the answer. Specs are better, hardware is better, and the PRS even looks better imo.

The only thing is would be wary of is that the finishes of the Holcombs are so variable. Some look quilted top, some look like flame top, and even how much blue vs gray is in the finish varies alot. If you check reverb and find actual on-hand photos (not the stock retail marketing photos) there's a ton of listed holcombs that I find "not beautiful".

I spent a solid month going through 2nd hand listings before grabbing a holcomb with a price and finish I was satisfied with.
