ESP

collapse expand iconDescription

Celebrating the 20th anniversary of Deftones' influential guitarist, Stephen Carpenter, ESP harkens back to Stef's earliest signature guitars with the 6-string SC-20. With a rock-solid 3-piece maple through-neck design with solid alder wings and the stability of Tone Pros' locking tune-o-matic bridge, it can take whatever level of aggression you want to bring to it. The two ESP-designed single-coil pickups and the bridge-position Seymour Duncan JB easily take your tone from brutal to sweet.
