Sleep Token debuts signature Jackson and Charvel instruments

Fender Musical Instruments Corporation has announced its first signature collaboration with the band Sleep Token, debuting new instruments from Jackson and Charvel. The release includes the Jackson Pro Plus Series Signature Sleep Token IV Monarkh SC and the Charvel Sleep Token III Signature Pro-Mod San Dimas Bass V.

Developed in partnership with the band’s guitarist, IV, and bassist, III, the instruments are designed to handle the group’s heavy tunings and atmospheric range. The Jackson Monarkh SC features an extended 30-inch scale and an EverTune 6 bridge to maintain stability during whole-octave-down tuning. The Charvel five-string bass utilizes a multi-scale construction ranging from 34.4 to 35.5 inches to balance tension and intonation.

Both models incorporate custom Fishman Fluence pickups to provide tonal clarity across various musical textures. Justin Norvell, Chief Product Officer at Fender Guitars, stated that the signature models are a significant part of shaping the band’s distinctive sonic and visual identity.
