When this signature model was released 8-string guitars were still somewhat of a rarity.īut as they’ve grown in popularity we now have plenty of very capable 8-string production models such as the RGMS8 Multi-scale 8-string which gives you access to the extended range at a very cheap cost. It has an all-mahogany body and locking tuners for extra tuning stability, which is much appreciated when tuning this low! This is very similar in specification to the 7-string model, using specially designed Stephen Carpenter Fishman Fluence 8-string pickups to be able to handle the massive tonal variety Deftones requires. Once again taking influence from modern metal bands such as Meshuggah and Periphery, Stephen decided to make his own 8-string signature model, the SC-608.
SP LTD Stephen Carpenter Signature SC-608 So by using something like the far cheaper Ibanez RG7421 7-string and fitting it out with Fishman pickups you can achieve a very comparable tone. If you can’t get access to his specific pickups the regular Fishman Fluence Moderns utilize the same dual-voicing technology for this purpose. The purpose of this is so you can get that ultra-compressed and pushed high-gain tones on the active voicing, but then flick over to the passive voicing for cleans and ambient sounds. It also features Stephens’s own signature Fishman Fluence pickups which have both an active and passive voicing. It’s a 7-string model that features a 27” baritone neck to support those ultra-low tunings. Stephen has been playing his own signature range of guitars from ESP since 1998.Īnd while the original SC-20 was but a humble 6-string, as the band progressed the need for more strings and lower tunings quickly became apparent. ESP LTD SCT-607B Stephen Carpenter Signature While Stephen has been very open about his influences, citing many of the metal titans such as Meshuggah and Fear Factory as inspiration.ĭeftones are a far more experimental band that uses a wide variety of sounds ranging from the heaviest of metal tones to dreamy cleans and effect-laden ambient guitars.
