Deftones guitarist Stephen Carpenter has teamed up with Kiesel for two new signature variants based on the Vader – the Snow and the Shadow.
The guitars feature a Swamp Ash body with a Hipshot Fixed Headless Multiscale Bridge, a 3-piece Maple neck with a 25.5″ to 27″ scale, all finished in White with White hardware (or all Black depending on which model you get). Both models come loaded with the Stef Carpenter Signature Fishman Fluence Pickups.
On the topic of that sleek-as-hell finish, Carpenter added: “It’s exceptionally difficult to produce it in all white but the amazing people at Kiesel guitars have made this happen.”
Prices for the Carpenter signature model start from $3,499. You can also get his previous ESP signature models right here with three free months to Musicians Institute included.
