Signature 8-string baritone electric guitar that was designed by influential and innovative guitarist Stephen Carpenter (Deftones) and even with its traditional shape is one of the most powerful guitars available for contemporary music styles. It features a neck-thru-body design at 685.8mm baritone scale so it can handle extremely low tunings, while still maintaining the string tension needed for expressive playing and excellent tones. It offers a comfortable mahogany body and a three-piece thin U-shaped maple neck fitted with Macassar ebony fingerboard with 24 extra-jumbo frets. Fingerboard radius is 350 mm and nut width is 54 mm. The guitar is equipped with a pair of versatile Fishman Fluence SRC Signature active pickups, each of them featuring multiple voicings: the push-pull control on the volume knob can be used to select the one you want. On the middle alnico pickup, push down for “Modern Active” tone or pull up for “Modern Passive Attack”. On the bridge ceramic pickup, push down for “Modern Passive Attack” tone or pull up for “Modern Active” voicing. This model utilizes a standard 9V battery. Sound can be adjusted by one Volume and one Tone control and a 3-way switch. Other features include a Hipshot bridge with string-thru configuration for excellent sustain, LTD locking tuners, moulded nut fret, black hardware and D’Addario XL140-8 strings (.010, .013, .017, .030, .042, .054, .064, .074). Red Sparkle finish.
