ESP STEPHEN CARPENTER SIGNATURE MODELS

Stephen Carpenter, of the California alt-metal band Deftones had his first ESP signature model in 1998. Over the years his signature guitars include six string, seven string and even eight string models as well as baritone guitars in both ESP and LTD brands. His signature models have a relatively unsual double humbucker layout in the bridge and middle position (instead of the typical bridge and neck).
