Stephen Carpenter’s signature baritone is a beast. The thin U neck is surprisingly comfortable for such a long scale, and the Fluence pickups deliver that Deftones-esque scooped mid-range and crushing distortion. This is a premium-priced instrument built for low-tuned, heavy riffing and modern metal players.
