Manufacturer's Description:
Fishman’s latest collaboration with legendary Deftones guitarist Stephen Carpenter!
Stephen Carpenter, renowned guitarist of the hard rock/ heavy metal band Deftones, boasts an illustrious profile in the music industry. Stephen’s Fluence Signature Series Humbuckers have undergone a significant transformation with a new and reimagined voicing across a range of 6 to 9-string options, while retaining the unique and exclusive glow-in-the-dark Fluence accent line. Utilizing the revolutionary Fluence Core, we’ve enhanced Stephen’s previous model by introducing a distinctive Voice 3 to each pickup. This innovation offers an authentic crystal clear single-coil tone, seamlessly integrated with the two beloved voices that Stephen has come to love.
Stephen Carpenter Signature Series Alnico Pickup features:
All the musicality, power and explosiveness of Alnico. Full chords and fluid solos, plus a voice you’ve never heard in a humbucker, and a true single coil tone. Great in both positions, or commonly paired with a Ceramic bridge pickup.
- Voice 1: Modern Active High Output – The ideal active alnico sound. Full, round, and boosted, but with unprecedented articulation and dynamics.
- Voice 2: Crisp, clean and fluid – The clean, crisp neck humbucker tone you’ve always wanted, without the thin, plinky sound you don’t.
- Voice 3: (Single Coil) – Glassy, Scooped, Hi-f
Stephen Carpenter Signature Series Ceramic Pickup features:
Cutting ceramic attack. Brutal active aggression and passive punch in the same guitar, plus a true single coil tone. Great in both positions, or commonly paired with Alnico neck.
- Voice 1: Stephen’s Active High Output – The ideal active ceramic humbucker tone. Crisp, searing crunch, tight bass with no mud, and a growl.
- Voice 2: Stephen’s Passive Attack – Organic, high output, passive ceramic tone. Superb distortion characteristics with Fluence dynamics and response.
- Voice 3: (Single Coil) – Cutting, overwound single coil
